A new Avengers: Endgame TV spot hit during Super Bowl LIII on Sunday and it showed some interesting new scenes from the upcoming movie. According to Marvel, this is the movie that will end the current Avengers run and likely will see names like Iron Man and Captain America check out one way or another.
The new clip was very short but had a lot of interesting shots to give hints at what is to come. With only a few months left until the final battle with Thanos takes place, here is a look at some things the Avengers: Endgame Super Bowl TV spot could be hinting at.
Counting Down the Fallen
So, the trailer started out with rapid-fire clips and anyone who has slowed it down realized that they are showing everyone who died in Avengers: Infinity War. This is a basic blink-and-you-miss-it memorial or in the case of the Internet, pause and restart it over and over again to catch them all.
Wasp, Nick Fury, Spider-Man, Doctor Strange, Falcon, the Guardians of the Galaxy, Black Panther, Spider-Man, Scarlet Witch and Vision are all shown. This was very fast and it is hard to spot all of them, but those were the ones shown. Loki is conspicuous by his absence, though.
The World Has Fallen
Outside of the post-credit scene with Nick Fury racing through the streets where pandemonium is taking place, Avengers: Infinity War only showed what affect Thanos’ snap had on the superheroes. However, there was little in that movie to show how this moment affected the world.
The snap wiped out half of all living beings, Black Widow explained in the trailer. This wording means everything, one would assume, including animals. However, the Avengers: Endgame Super Bowl spot shows an empty baseball stadium and a sign for a support group for those who lost loved ones. The world is messed up, big time.
Captain America Is Still The Man
The first trailer for Avengers: Endgame had Black Widow telling Captain America that things were going to work and he said that it had to or he didn’t know what he would do. In the Avengers: Endgame Super Bowl spot, it was still Captain America who had the big rallying cry.
He said that some people move on, but “not us.” This is huge as it is setting up Captain America – the man pushed out by his own country in Civil War – as the man to lead The Avengers, something that Steve Rogers was born and deserves to do.
Nebula And Iron Man
In the first Avengers: Endgame trailer, Iron Man put together a message to send to Pepper Potts to let her know what happened to him. There was also a quick shot later of Nebula, but that was it. After Avengers: Infinity War, those two were the only ones left alive after the battle with Thanos.
The new Avengers: Endgame Super Bowl spot shows that they are still together, which means she was on the ship when Tony Stark was putting his message for Pepper together. Plus, the trailer shows that Nebula and Tony are working together for their ultimate survival.
Something Is Coming
There was a quick shot that showed Steve Rogers, Black Widow, Bruce Banner and Rhodey looking into the sky. They are outside their headquarters and obviously see something coming. Could this be Iron Man returning?
Honestly, and this is just a guess, they are looking into the sky and see a new figure arriving – someone they have not met yet. This might be the moment that Captain Marvel makes her big debut and introduces herself to The Avengers. Arriving at night would be a perfect visual when introducing Carol Danvers and would throw her right into the fight when they need help the most.
Rocket And Thor In Wakanda
Thor and Rocket Raccoon look like they will continue the buddy cop routine they started in Avengers: Infinity War because the two of them are in scenes that look just like those seen in Wakanda.
For Rocket, he enters a shack that seems similar to the one Winter Soldier stayed in while recovering with Shuri. The second was Thor looking out an opening in a mountain – one that looked just like where Black Panther took Killmonger to die. Thor was seen in what looked like Avengers headquarters in the first trailer, but could it be misdirection and both he and Rocket stayed in Wakanda?
Ant-Man And War Machine
When Ant-Man and the Wasp ended, Ant-Man was stuck in the Quantum Realm. In the first trailer, he showed up at the end of the trailer in what looked like recorded footage. However, in the Avengers: Endgame Super Bowl spot, Scott suits up as Ant-Man while Rhodey suits up as War Machine.
This means clearly Scott is there to help in the present day and Rhodey is ready to take on his superhero role again a few years after experiencing severe injuries in a battle against Captain America in Captain America: Civil War. It is also nice to see the two former enemies ready to team up again.
Thor Still Has Stormbreaker
Thor still has Stormbreaker when he is shown in the Avengers: Endgame Super Bowl spot. There wasn’t really a chance of getting Mjolnir back after what Hela did to it in Thor: Ragnarok, but at least he still has the new weapon forged for him by Eitri.
There are some people whose whereabouts are still unknown. One of the biggest is Valkyrie and it appears that Tesse Thompson is going to be in Avengers: Endgame. Stormbreaker can summon the Bifrost, so Thor can likely use it to find Asgardian survivors and bring some more help. Plus, this could also be how he figures out if Loki is really dead or not.
Cap Gets His Shield Back
At the end of Captain America: Civil War, Iron Man took away Cap’s shield, telling him he is not worthy to carry it. In Avengers: Infinity War, Black Panther told his scientists to get Steve a new shield and Cap carried the new one in that movie.
However, in the Avengers: Endgame Super Bowl spot, there is a huge moment where Cap straps what is clearly his original shield to his wrist as he heads into battle. It looks like with Iron Man gone, Steve found and regained his weapon, which should work wonders on his confidence heading into the huge final battle.
The New Mission
The biggest rumors were that The Avengers would end up going into the Quantum Realm to try to save the world using time travel. The end of the Avengers: Endgame Super Bowl spot sees the new team heading into battle. It includes Captain America, Thor, Rocket, Ant-Man, Black Widow, War Machine and Bruce Banner (still no Hulk).
One thing that looks interesting, even though the heroes are silhouetted, is that they are not in their regular costumes. There has been some merchandise that shows white outfits and it seems this scene has the team heading out to prepare to enter the Quantum Realm and save the world.
