After what feels like eons of waiting, the first trailer for Avengers: Infinity War finally debuted the other week – and it was just as epic and thrilling as we had hoped for! Packed full of Avengers, action, an ominous tone and lots of intriguing teases for what the movie holds, it didn’t drop too much all at once, as it saved quite a lot for future trailers and the actual film itself. For instance, the union of all of the heroes.
That’s right. While we did get to see a lot of our favorites, there were a good chunk of characters missing from the preview, both heroes and villains. Even some of the major players were left out and you have to wonder why. Maybe there are surprises in store for certain individuals that Marvel doesn’t want to spoil yet? Or perhaps the studio just didn’t have time to throw everyone in?
Whatever the case, it’s got fans wondering who exactly’s in the film and who isn’t and while we still don’t have an official cast list, the MCU Wiki put together a handy graphic recently that shows us which characters we can expect to see in the hugely anticipated blockbuster. Granted, there aren’t any surprises to be found here as we already knew that each one of these heroes/villains would be involved, but it’s still nice to see everyone all together in one spot and split up into their respective groups.
Of course, the film won’t be giving a starring role to all these individuals and most of them may just show up for a few moments throughout, but still, there are going to be a lot of characters involved here and we can’t even imagine how chaotic it must have been on set juggling everything. Not to mention what a difficult job the Russos had in regards to ensuring that the plot and action is clear and easy to follow throughout, which was no doubt tremendously challenging with so many heroes, villains and supporting players involved.
It’s said to be a film of “infinite proportions,” according to Marvel boss Kevin Feige, at least, and we’ll finally be able to find out what all the fuss is about when Avengers: Infinity War drops on May 4th, 2018. Soon after that, the MCU will swing its doors open to Ant-Man and the Wasp and Captain Marvel, the first female-fronted Marvel film, before Avengers 4 ties a bow around Phase 3 in 2019.
