What We Learned from the Avengers: Infinity War Trailer

The trailer for Marvel's highly anticipated finale to the first three phases of the MCU has dropped today! As a result, there are a lot of things that were discovered about Avengers: Infinity War!


1. The Soul Stone could be in Wakanda

A major part of the new trailer shows many of the heroes protecting Wakanda from Thanos and the Black Order's army. Thanos wouldn't waste his time attacking a city that has no use to him, so why is he attacking Wakanda? Wakanda could be a hiding place for the last infinity stone, the Soul Stone. This theory is also supported by the Black Panther trailer when T'Challa is shown walking around some sort of spiritual realm. This could be possible with the Soul Stone.




2. Captain America gets his shield back

After the events of Captain America: Civil War, Captain America leaves his shield behind after Tony tells him that he doesn't deserve to have the shield. Now that Steve is back and the world needs Captain America, Black Panther says, "Get this man a shield".




3. Loki took the Tesseract

At the end of Thor: Ragnarok, Loki comes across the Tesseract and gives it a long look. The movie didn't show Loki actually grabbing the Tesseract, but it was assumed that he did. Now we have confirmation that Loki took it and it looks as if he is presenting it to Thanos. This is going to be bad news for Thor and the Asgardian people.




4. Tony will call Steve

After the events of Captain America: Civil War, Steve Rogers gives Tony Stark a phone so that he can reach out if need be. Well, it looks like desperate times calls for desperate measures because Tony is seen holding the same phone in Doctor Strange's Sanctum Sanctorum. It can be assumed that Tony and Steve will have to settle their differences to stop Thanos.




5. Thanos has the Space Stone and Power Stone

During one of the scenes from the trailer, Thanos is shown with a partially complete Infinity Gauntlet. On the gauntlet, there are two stones in place, a purple one, and a blue one. Based on the previous films, it can be assumed that Thanos has the Power Stone from Guardians of the Galaxy and the Space Stone aka the Tesseract from The Avengers and Thor: Ragnarok.




6. Groot has grown

It looks like Groot has done some growing since his last appearance in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, which was set in 2014. Four years later and Groot is now at his adolescent stage. James Gunn clears up that Groot is, "Not quite a teenager yet". I'm excited how a young Groot will react to meeting the Avengers from Earth and battling Thanos!




7. Vision becomes a human
In the trailer, we see Vision about to lose the Mind Stone. In another scene, we see Vision in a human form rather than his normal form that was created by Ultron. Maybe Thanos took the Mind Stone, but it didn't kill Vision. Instead, it could have turned him human with a lack of powers.




8. The first appearance of the Outriders
The trailer shows us a new creature in the MCU, the Outriders. Outrides are genetically engineered assassins that have only one goal: to serve their masters. They will do anything to complete their task and it looks like their task is to take the Soul Stone from the Wakanda people.




9. Peter's Spider-sense
In the past, there has been much debate on whether or not Spider-Man has spider sense. It was seen briefly in Captain America: Civil War when Bucky throws a large object at Peter. Peter's power is shown in depth when a strange ship appears above New York City.




10. War Machine returns

During Captain America: Civil War, Rhodey aka War Machine falls from the sky and takes a hard hit. The last time we saw Rhodey, he was attempting to recover from the fall and had spinal issues that made it difficult for him to walk. Well, War Machine is seen in the battle of Wakanda so either someone else took the mantle or he made a miraculous recovery!


No matter what happens, fans are sure to flock and see Avengers: Infinity War in theaters. Marvel also released a new synopsis of the upcoming movie.

An unprecedented cinematic journey ten years in the making and spanning the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe, Marvel Studios’ “Avengers: Infinity War” brings to the screen the ultimate, deadliest showdown of all time. The Avengers and their Super Hero allies must be willing to sacrifice all in an attempt to defeat the powerful Thanos before his blitz of devastation and ruin puts an end to the universe.


Anthony and Joe Russo direct the film, which is produced by Kevin Feige. Louis D’Esposito, Victoria Alonso, Michael Grillo and Stan Lee are the executive producers. Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely wrote the screenplay. “Avengers: Infinity War” releases in U.S. theaters on May 4, 2018.

What did you think of the Inifinity War trailer? Did it live up to the hype?

    To be fair, I believe Loki looks quite frightened in that scene. Once Thanos or the Black Order have demanded Loki hands over the Tesseract, he will probably be eager to do so because he knows that they are out of his league. Thor and Hulk will probably try to prevent this which leads to them being separated (Hulk landing on earth and Thor with the Guardians) Banner and Thor then explain to both teams what is going on and the gravity of the situation.

    I hope Loki eventually joins the good guys and plays a part in defeating Thanos.

    Well, that shows that Black Panther will bring nothing to the MCU other than a couple of characters... And also kills my dreams of seeing Bucky as Cap. Still, cant wait to see it.

      There may still be time for Bucky to become Cap!

    I agree, Loki looks scared and tussled up like after a fight. May be he turns over the Tesseract as a least resort.

      Maybe, either way I can't wait to see how it plays out.

    I think Loki's angst and tears (?) are the result of Thanos's attack on the ship bearing Thor, Loki, and the remaining Asguardians. He will attack looking for the stone. The carnage will result in most Asguardian's death ... But Sif IS still missing. She may be the only true Asguardian woman left! Are she and Thor the only way to carry that line?

Chandler Riggs and His Father Comment On Carl's Death On The Walking Dead

Image
During The Walking Dead 's mid-season finale, audiences were shocked to discover Carl Grimes had been bitten by a walker. Carl, played by Chandler Riggs, has been part of the show since its first season in 2011 when Riggs was only 11 years old. Audiences across the world got to watch Riggs grow up as both Carl Grimes and Chandler Riggs. It really sucks to see him go and it will definitely affect the rest of the series.  Carl's death shocked both audiences and fellow cast members. "I always thought Carl was going to be the one who led the show forward," Andrew Lincoln told  The Hollywood Reporter , "that Rick would hand over his boots and revolver when he walked off into the sunset in season 28." Unfortunately, that dream will never come true.  Rumor's of Carl's death on the show have been around for years. When the rumors resurfaced, I thought nothing of them, even though they were a bit more convincing this time. The rumors i

The Walking Dead Universe Crossover Confirmed

After over two years of saying it would never happen, we are finally getting a  Walking Dead  and  Fear the Walking Dead  crossover! Ever since Fear the Walking Dead premiered in August of 2015, creators of both shows stated several times that the two shows would never cross over. However, Robert Kirkman, creator of  The Walking Dead , has now said otherwise! The news was confirmed this weekend at The Walking Dead's panel at the New York Comic Con.  "I think that we've finally gotten to a place with Fear the Walking dead where it has its own identity," Kirkman said. "there are two  Walking Dead  shows, I'm not going to name them, but there are two...There is one character that is going to go from one show that will go from one show and appear in the other show, that I will not name." Although fans don't know what character will be part of the crossover, they sure have something to look forward to. It will be a challenge since  T

The Marvel Cinematic Universe Ranked

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is one of the world's biggest franchises and shows no signs of slowing down. What sets the MCU apart from different franchises is its continuity and the ability to have amazing characters come together in different ways. I'm a huge fan of Marvel Studios, so I decided to compile a list of my top MCU movies, TV shows, and more.  41. Inhumans Inhumans is one of the worst shows I've seen, everything about it is just awful. The acting, the writing, the designs, the special effects, the choreography, the editing. In every episode, I was able to point out major issues with the production of the show. It didn't help that this mess of a show debuted on IMAX so that audiences everywhere could see the dreadful special effects on a huge screen. Looking back, I can only think of a single thing this show did right and that was a 5-second special effect of Blackbolt flipping a car with just a whisper. Everything else was terribly lazy an

This episode starts off with Dwight talking to Rick and his group. He says he wants to stop Negan but they need to do it correctly or someone else will rise up and take his place.

After seeing Dwight's heartbreaking scene in his home in a previous episode I am convinced he wants Negan dead. After all, Negan did melt half of his face off.  Meanwhile, Sasha is being held captive and Negan her he knows Rick is trying to rebel. As a result, he says someone needs to die. Afterwards Sasha convinces Eugene to give her something sharp so she can kill herself so she isn’t used against Alexandria. However, her real plan is to kill Negan when he least expects it.

No one is safe in AMC's The Walking Dead , not even Rick Grimes himself. According to Collider , Andrew Lincoln is set to leave The Walking Dead after season 9. Lincoln, who plays the series main character Rick Grimes, has been apart of the show since its beginning in 2010. However, it looks as though Rick isn't going to survive much longer. There was an update from   comicbook.com  saying they have confirmed the news from multiple independent sources. They also say that AMC will announce Lincoln's departure before it happens on the show. Not only that, but it is also reported that Rick Grimes will only be in six episodes of season 9. As to how the famous Rick Grimes will be killed off, that remains a mystery. It is sure to cause an uproar in the fanbase. After killing fan-favorite Carl Grimes, played by Chandler Riggs, many fans began to lose faith in the show and its quality. There were even co-workers of Riggs who expressed their disapproval of the creativ
