After a long (and possibly delayed) wait, Marvel Studios has finally released the title and trailer for the upcoming Avengers movie, Avengers: Endgame, on the morning of Friday, December 7.
Given how Avengers: Infinity War ended, Avengers: Endgame is arguably the most highly anticipated move in the history of the MCU.

While the trailer was considerably light on plot, there were some hints and Easter Eggs crammed in there, so we did our best to break them all down below.
A beaten up Iron Man mask.
Tony Stark sitting lonely in space.
Thanos’ battle armor, likely on the scenic planet we last saw him at.
Thanos wearing the Infinity Gauntlet, at that same scenic planet.
The Avengers headquarters.
Bruce Banner investigating the disappearance of Scott Lang & Shuri. Peter Parker’s face appears soon after.
Thor looking defeated & likely feeling guilty because he didn’t go for the head.
Captain America looking younger than he did in ‘Infinity War’. People have suggested the Time Stone may be used in some way, so this could be a hint at that. Or he just shaved.
Nebula looking stoic.
Jeremy Renner’s Hawkeye making a bloody return. Who wants to bet his entire family got snapped to dust?
Paul Rudd’s Ant-Man finally showing up to the party.
So, did that trailer tell us anything substantial? Well, not really.
We knew Tony Stark was stranded in space, we knew that the remaining heroes on Earth were defeated, and we knew that Thanos was JC at his celestial summer house. Sure, Scott Lang returning could be considered a “surprise” based on how Ant-Man and The Wasp ended, but everyone who is really an MCU fan knew it was only a matter of time before he popped back up.
Avengers: Endgame will star Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Josh Brolin, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Mark Ruffalo, Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Benedict Cumberbatch, and more. At the time of its release, it will be the 22nd film in the 11-year old Marvel Cinematic Universe.
