Thor: Ragnarok was one of the most anticipated Marvel movies in 2017 and one of the reason was fans thought that they would get a teaser of Avengers Infinity War. The movie is another great addition to MCU collectibles, but Infinity war trailer or teaser was nowhere to be found. This pissed off a section of Marvel fans who are now demanding official trailer from the studio.
The directors Joe and Anthony Russo have taken it upon themselves to address this issue through Orson Welles commercial and it definitely lands. Although, a particular footage was played in both SDCC 2017 and Disney’s D-23 Expo over summer but a full-fledged trailer is yet to come out. The Russo brothers took to Instagram and posted an Orson Welles wine commercial and makes an important point about the demand for a trailer.
The commercial says, “Paul Masson will sell no wine before its time.” The point is that the studio is not going to release trailer until the right time comes. They took to Instagram and put this caption on a video:
“Regarding your demands for the release of the Infinity War trailer . . .”
Black Panther trailer is attached to Thor: Ragnarok but many fans were expecting atleast teaser of Avengers Infinity War. They thought that they would finally get a taste of Thanos wielding Infinity gauntlet but alas they will have to wait a little longer. Although, a particular footage was aired in SDCC, 2017 and Disney’s D-23 Expo and later it got leaked online but it was of really poor quality. The most likely scenario for the release of the trailer is along with the upcoming sci-fi epic Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
Anthony Russo, the co-director of the movie described it as a heist movie where Thanos will spend time strategizing in order to steal Infinity stones. In an interview with CNET, Russo Brothers spoke about how they were inspired by heist movies for Avengers Infinity War. Here’s what they said:
“With “Infinity War,” the biggest new element to the movie is Thanos and the fact that he’s entering the storytelling in a very bold, strong way, to the degree that he’s almost one of the leads. We’ve shaped an interesting narrative around him that in some ways leans heavily on a heist film in the fact that he’s going after the infinity stones in a much bolder, successful way than he has in the past. The entire movie has that energy of the bad guy being one step ahead of the heroes. We looked at a lot of movies that had that heist-style energy to them, and that brought some inspiration”.
It will be very interesting to see the most powerful cosmic creature stealing stuff to pursue his sinister ends. It will inject a totally different energy into the MCU than any other Marvel movie. Everyone will be rooting against the mad Titan while he keeps on accumulating more power through Infinity stones.
He will have more hands-on and direct approach as he can’t trust anybody as they failed to meet his expectations. He will bring big guns in the form of “Black Order” who are a team of ruthless mercenaries and their “Outriders” who are genetically engineered for a single purpose, find new worlds, invade and conquer it for Thanos.
The actor Josh Brolin is excited as he is finally getting a shot at playing super-villain Thanos. He shared a picture on his Instagram account teasing his transformation into the most powerful cosmic being in the galaxy. He teased the massive powers of Infinity gems, each of them individually are powerful but collectively they can rewrite reality and destroy worlds.
Here’s the official synopsis of the movie:
“As the Avengers and their allies have continued to protect the world from threats too large for any one hero to handle, a new danger has emerged from the cosmic shadows: Thanos. A despot of intergalactic infamy, his goal is to collect all six Infinity Stones, artifacts of unimaginable power, and use them to inflict his twisted will on all of reality. Everything the Avengers have fought for has led up to this moment – the fate of Earth and existence itself has never been more uncertain”.
The studio has been building the hype of Thanos over a series of films, so expectations of Marvel fans are very high, some even believe that the movie will not only brea the record of highest box-office collections for a superhero movie but of any movie. And it’s heartening to see that things are falling into the right place.
It’s been 10 years and 18 movies since Iron Man (2008) came out, and now MCU is approaching at the culmination of everything that has happened till now, as Kevin Feige puts it. Marvel studios has managed to assemble a magnificent cast under one roof to create a mega comic-book event as part of the phase 3. The Infinity war films are the most awaited superhero ensemble movies of the 21st century. Fans are ready to witness the grandest event called Infinity War. Hopefully, we will see the trailer soon.
Avengers: Infinity War to arrive in theaters on May 4, 2018, Avengers 4 a year later on May 3, 2019. CHEERS!
