Avengers Infinity War Trailer: 8 Strongest Moments in Superheroes vs Thanos Battle That Will Hook The Marvel Fan in You

I will state it straightaway - the new trailer of Avengers: Infinity War is badass! And awesome! And terrific! And if there is any more superlative adjectives left, it's all that! The superhero ensemble movie, directed by the Russo Brothers, had a great first trailer, but the second trailer manages to overpower it with some scenes of sheer thrill.

Save for mysteriously absent Hawkeye and Ant-Man, nearly all Marvel superheroes we have seen in the Marvel Cinematic Universe are seen here, with some new characters too. We get new glimpses of some members of Thanos' dreaded Black Order. There is a flashback scene, there are scenes of peril, some terrific actions sequences and a lot of humour too. I have watched the trailer over and over again, and still am not able to get over the euphoria. We have also selected 8 moments from the trailer that define the whole promo, while also letting out huge hints about the movie. Here they are,

Gamora's flashback sequence

The trailer starts off with Gamora giving an offscreen introduction about her adopted father Thanos to Tony Stark. Later we see a flashback scene, involving Gamora as a child and Thanos holding her hand and leading her somewhere. It is certainly unexpected and give Gamora an additional emotional impetus. Which also means... is she gonna die?

Star-Lord dissing Iron Man

In their respective groups, Star Lord and Iron Man are the ones cradling inflated egoes. So fans always speculated when these two cross paths, who would win when it comes to being a bigger a-hole. Looks like we have a winner here, and that's Chris Pratt's space adventurer. Even Tony Stark can't believe it!

Thor's mortal danger

Though this scene was in the first trailer, Thor's torture at the hands of Thanos gets a prolonged runtime here, and it is difficult to watch, seeing him scream like that. We wonder how the God of Thunder will manage to get out that fatal grasp. Will Loki make that ultimate sacrifice?

Even Doctor Strange is in Peril

Doctor Strange has magic; he has even hoodwinked the inter-dimensional monster Dormammu. How can Sorcerer Supreme be in danger? It looks Thanos has his arsenal ready for Doctor Strange too, as one of his Black Order men, Ebony Maw probably, has got him pierced with many spikes! Yikes!

Did we foresee Iron Man's death?

Near the end of the trailer, we hear Thanos telling someone offscreen, 'I hope they remember you!' before he takes that huge jump to punch someone. We know by now whoever is at the receiving end of the blow is a goner for sure. Since there is a little scene of Iron Man in pain in between, have we just seen how Tony Stark meets his end? Oh no!!! Where the hell are those tissues?

Captain America - the Badass!

Cap holds against Thanos' punch. Thanos is shocked. We are too!

Also did you notice Thanos still has two Infinity Stones only?

Spider-Man swinging through the debris

And then Spider-Man swings in through all the debris in space at the end of the trailer, but not before that funny exchange with Doctor Strange about made-up names!

Avengers: Infinity War is scheduled to release on April 27. Can't breathe!
