First trailer for ‘Avengers: Infinity War’

Marvel Studios have today released the first trailer for Avengers: Infinity War, which is set to be the epic “end” of the current Marvel Cinematic Universe as we know it and the start of a whole new chapter (or “phase” as Marvel like to call it) for the interconnected universe – which is set to less rely on old heroes and focus more on all-new heroes in the MCU.

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.
