Avengers Endgame Trailer 2 Breakdown: Fresh Details About Marvel's New Movie

[Mark-x]

Like the Avengers when Thanos collected all of the Infinity Stones in last year's Infinity War, fans were not prepared for the release of the second trailer for Avengers: Endgame. With no advance warning, Marvel debuted another full-length trailer early on March 14. Just as you'd hope from a new look at what's likely to be the year's biggest movie, there are new scraps information to glean from this fresh footage, so a breakdown is in order. This trailer gives us a slightly better understanding of what the heck is going on in Endgame, aside from the fact everyone has multiple hair styles. Are they all Skrulls or fashion forward? That's the real question.

Following the post-credits sequence in Captain Marvel, this new trailer brought us a bit of the first interaction between Carol Danvers and one of the Avengers. Just as you'd hope, it was a pretty fantastic moment as she meets Thor. The new trailer also provides some unique superhero team-ups, new outfits--which fans have speculated are tied to the Quantum Realm--and a heavy reliance on flashback sequences, as we see parts of Iron Man, Thor, and Captain America: Civil War. The new trailer was also accompanied by the release of a new poster, which has been updated since it was first shared to add actress Danai Gurira's name to the top.

Below, we're taking a closer look at the latest trailer and breaking down what we think is going to happen in Endgame. Who will live? Who will die? Who will keep their same hair style into Marvel's Phase 4? Bear in mind, there's also the very legitimate question of whether anything in this trailer is meant to mislead audiences. Marvel knows we're going to examine each shot with a fine-toothed comb and could be effectively lying to us to throw us off. We saw just that with Infinity War, which for instance featured a shot of the Hulk running around Wakanda (when in fact Bruce Banner was piloting the Hulkbuster at that point in the movie). As such, we have plenty of Endgame theories about what to make of the new information.

If you're looking for more on Endgame, check out the first trailer for the film, our theories about the story based on the first trailer, and new thoughts about Infinity War after a recent rewatch. Avengers: Endgame releases in theaters on April 26. If you've already seen Captain Marvel, we also have some thoughts on what we can take away from that movie and what it tells us about the final confrontation with Thanos that's surely coming in Endgame
