Warning, spoilers ahead! If you somehow haven’t seenInfinity Waryet, look away now.
Directed by Anthony and Joe Russo,Avengers: Endgamepicks up in the cataclysmic fallout ofInfinity War, which saw the powerful villainThanos, played by Josh Brolin, eliminate half of the living creatures in the universe with a snap of his fingers — including many of the heroes, villains, and supporting characters in Marvel’s cinematic universe. The trailer offers a peek at what some of the surviving characters have been up to in the aftermath of Thanos’ victory, and it certainly doesn’t look good for some of them.
