**POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD. SPOILERPHOBES BEWARE.**
Loki and Thor time-traveling to take on the Chitauri? Valkryie joining Thor to take on the big purple Titan in the sky? A new leak has given us what seems to be a description of the teaser trailer for the upcoming Avengers 4 (rumored to be titled Avengers: Annihilation). The last we saw of our favorite heroes, many had vanished into dust at the hand of Thanos and, if not, they were dealing with the aftermath.
Supposedly, according to a description posted on reddit and later removed (possibly for containing massive spoilers?) the trailer shows Tony Stark joining the Quantum Realm to help Scott Lang, Steve Rogers finally facing Tony Stark after all this time, and—possibly in flashbacks—Loki joining his brother in a fight once more. You can read the full description here:
“The trailer starts off showing the damaged Infinity Gauntlet in a field on the farm planet. As the camera focuses in on the Gauntlet, we hear Tony’s voice: “We were destined to lose.” Epic music score starts. The Quinjet is shown landing in a Wakandan wasteland as we hear Steve Rogers say: “We have come so far.” Tony and Nebula step off the jet as the remaining Avengers approach. Steve has a look of relief and says: “Tony”. Tony, seemingly defeated, shakes his head and gives a friendly smirk back to Cap. Marvel Studios Logo appears.
“We get a glimpse of the Battle of New York from 2012 Avengers. Loki is shown looking shocked and baffled as he is on top of the Stark tower. There is a flash of a blue light as the camera pans back. (Cuts to black) Next we see the Wakandan throne with M’Baku at the helm. He’s surrounded by his new kingsguard. (A mix of the hill tribe and Dora Milaje). Shuri and Banner are seen working on a new project in the lab. Black Widow, in full gear, is in Hawkeye’s family home from Age of Ultron. Basically everything is thrown all over the place and broken. Nat is studying some type of map with multiple photos and locations on it. A quick shot of Thanos is shown with a long sword, walking down an alleyway in New York City. The next shot is a dark hooded figure with glowing eyes, aiming a bow and arrow before shooting towards the camera.”
“(1-2 visuals of the Quantum Realm) Scott Lang (no suit) is shown running through a park dodging explosions. (Shot of Space) Thor and Valkyrie are aboard a Kree ship. Thor says: “If the stories are true, you’re our universe’s last hope. If such a thing even exists anymore”. The next shot is an older, determined Tony Stark walking through the new SHIELD HQ (Avengers Facility in upstate New York). He’s in full SHIELD attire and carrying an orange briefcase. Banner (wearing spandex) is seen running from something, looking terrified. The next shot is Ant-Man appearing out of a flash of light and landing in a desolate place. We see it from his point of view from inside his helmet. He looks left to right and to his left again and says: “What in the-“.
“We see Captain Marvel floating with her fists on fire and her eyes lit up. Thanos in the soul stone with young Gamora screaming at him, Loki and Thor fighting off Chitauri together and Tony handing Steve a brand new shield in the Wakandan throne room. (Cuts back to Tony and Scott) Tony opens the orange briefcase as Scott hands him an illuminated bracelet. Tony asks: “How?… Is this even possible?” Iron Man and Ant-Man are shown travelling through the Quantum Realm. Tony and Scott are back in the battle of New York from 2012. The final shot before the title reveal is an Infinity Stone disappearing from Thanos’ damaged gauntlet. He abruptly gets up and puts on his armor. His face goes from extremely infuriated to a menacing smile.
“Title reveal: Avengers: Annihilation
“Stinger: The Hulk is training at the new SHIELD facility with Black Widow and Steve. Steve notices that Hulk has been training non-stop as of late, so he asks why. Hulk responds in Banner’s normal voice with: “My rematch is coming real soon, I can feel it!””
How real any of this might be is certainly still up in the air, but it’s all we’ve got to go on right now, as we impatiently wait to see the real thing for ourselves. On one hand, it certainly fits with a lot of verified information we’ve gotten so far from marketing images, set pictures, and other sources, as well as with going theories about where the MCU has been and where it’s going. On the other hand … it seems to fit all of our speculation so well, and deliver so many surprises, that it’s feels a bit too good to be true.
Maybe one of the biggest questions it leaves us with, though, is “who over at Marvel doesn’t care anymore?” With each new day, it seems like there’s a leak about what’s to come in the Infinity War sequel. Someone get Tom Holland and Mark Ruffalo in a room and tell them to stop sharing spoilers.
Avengers: Annihilation is hitting theaters May 3, 2019—we’re just about halfway there! … Oh god, we’re only halfway there.
