Avengers 4 trailer shot-by-shot breakdown Stranded Tony's now adrift in space, with his food and water running out. He's leaving a final message for Pepper Potts. I think we can safely assume he's going to get out of this situation, unless Marvel are really going to give their banner hero such a genuinely depressing death scene.
Avengers 4 trailer shot-by-shot breakdown Alone At least he managed to find a way off that planet he was stuck on, borrowing the Guardians's ship to make a clean getaway. It's OK, Star Lord won't miss it, considering he's just a pile of ash now.
Avengers 4 trailer shot-by-shot breakdown Peace Thanos gets to relax now, presumably. He's completed his self-appointed mission, hoisted the armour off, and now just gets to brush his hand through fields of wheat.
Avengers 4 trailer shot-by-shot breakdown Aftermath A shot of the Avengers headquarters. Now that 50% of the population doesn't exist anymore, at least there'll be plenty of parking spaces.

Avengers 4 trailer shot-by-shot breakdown Despair And Nebula! She looks especially sad, considering the only Guardian left is Rocket Raccoon, and he's not much of a travel buddy.

Avengers 4 trailer shot-by-shot breakdown Ronin It's Hawkeye, who's finally letting us in on where he's been all this time. Becoming Ronin, apparently, which is an alias used by several characters in the Marvel Comics universe. The term "Ronin" refers to the Japanese word for a masterless samurai or lone warrior.
Avengers 4 trailer shot-by-shot breakdown Longing This picture of Peggy could hint at what's been a rumoured end for Captain America: that, somehow, whether through the Quantum Realm or not, he'll be sent back to the 1940s to live out his days with his great love.
Avengers 4 trailer shot-by-shot breakdown A Plan Black Widow's line of, "this is gonna work Steve", suggests there is a way to bring back those who have been snapped. Our guess is that it might have to do with the unexpected arrival at the end of the trailer...
Avengers 4 trailer shot-by-shot breakdown Hope ... one Scott Lang AKA Ant-Man, who, last we saw, was trapped in the Quantum Realm with no way out. What if he saw something while he was in there that could reverse the snap and save the day?

Marvel responded to the backlash by releasing an updated version of the Endgame poster with Gurira’s name included in the credits at the top.
