With the filming of Avengers 4 recently wrapped up, it’s first official trailer is lurking right around the corner. Of course, it would be preceded by the title reveal, as fans are still kept in the dark about what the movie would be named. But an anonymous profile on Reddit, the treasure trove of leaks and fan theories, has apparently spilled the beans on the trailer with a text description of it that sounds so very real.
What makes it all the more believable is the fact that it was eventually taken down from the platform; because if it wasn’t true, why erase it from the public domain? It may not even be true in its every single word, but the devil is in the detail and the paragraph potentially contained certain truths about the trailer.
It says that the clip opens with visions of a damaged Infinity Gauntlet, apparently continuing from where we left off in Avengers: Infinity War. A highly-anticipated meeting between Captain America and Tony Stark, a first since the bitter feud in Civil War, is also teased as he and Nebula, who were stranded on Titan while others disintegrated into dust, mark their return to earth.
It’s widely touted that this movie would feature time travel as some of our heroes go back in time to resurrect the catastrophe that Thanos inflicted. Well, at least that’s what the leaked images from the sets suggest. And the heroes would need the quantum realm to do that. So naturally, Ant-Man is making a return, whereas the Hawkeye, another major absentee this year, also rejoins the rest of the gang as both are apparently seen in the trailer.
Here’s the full transcript of the alleged trailer:
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 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 kings guard (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. (One or two visuals of the Quantum Realm) Scott (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’s (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-“.
(Camera focuses on Vormir and its stars) Next, a shot of Rocket and Nebula modifying some new weapons in the lab. Rocket says “When can we try this bad boy out?” They both smile at each other and fist-bump. We get our first glimpse of Iron Man in his red and gold nanotech armor. Hulk falls from the sky and lands in front of him. Thanos, in full armor, smiles. Hulk smiles back. The next shot is in Japan. War Machine, Nat, and Steve (in their full Avengers gear) are surrounded by The Yakuza. Hawkeye walks through everybody from behind them and approaches the Avengers. There’s an intense exchange of looks between Clint and Natasha (Next shot is at the Sanctum) Wong is communicating with Dr. Strange’s soul via portal. (Cuts to black) Grey haired Tony Stark and Ant-Man are in a post-apocalyptic NYC. The screen flashes back and forth multiple times through multiple scenes.
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.
Based on Marvel Comics, Avengers 4 releases on 3 May 2019.
