The end of era and the start of a new movie experience. The Marvel Cinematic Universe now 17 movies in is shaping up for its huge build up movie event Avengers: Infinity War. Just last week we got our first glimpse of the movie as the Infinity War teaser trailer is now the most viewed trailer ever on Youtube with over 81 million plays and growing.  

From what we can see from the first trailer is that this  will be the all out war we were all hoping for. Thanos, Marvel’s most hyped up cinematic villain as he has been shown in several end credit scenes during past Marvel movies is shown finally in action collecting stones for his gauntlet and tossing around Tony Stark.

In the trailer we can locate over 30 returning heroes including the likes of Iron-Man and Captain America most recently shown with their conflict driven movie Captain America: Civil War. Although it seems that conflicts will have to resolve overall in the fight against Thanos we should still expect to some uneasy tension between the two throughout the movie.

Understandably, many fans are worried that some of their favorite characters will not make it through the whole duration of the movie. Robert Downey Jr. and Elizabeth Olsen are both on the downhill for their confirmed Marvel multi-movie contracts as Olson is only confirmed for Infinity Ward and Downey is told to have desire of retiring from the superhero universe.

However, there are definitely some easy confirmations for all you optimists to smile at as far as some of our heros surviving. Heroes such as Spiderman and Ant-Man have already been confirmed for their sequels to follow Infinity War.

Many fans are worried there may be too many characters appearing such as Junior Dan Kotik. Kotik states “A movie is typically 2 hours long so fitting 30 fleshed out characters with one of the biggest villains of all time seems almost impossible.”

While others such as sophomore Emma Bender who believes that it is just going to be a lot of fun. “It’s the moment we have all been waiting for and I’m just excited.” Bender said.

Now we have to sit wait and watch all 17 movies until Marvel’s Infinity War hits theaters May 4.
