Avenger: Infinity War’s trailer gave enough glimpses of what lies ahead in the comic turned cinematic universe. We saw Iron Man, Captain America, Doctor Strange, Black Widow, Hulk, Vision, Scarlet Witch, Black Panther, Spider-Man and several others joining hands to save the planet from the attack of its supervillain Thano’s army. Why and how they do it, is yet to be known.

From the trailer’s first lines “There was an idea…” to several moments like Captain America leading the army in Wakanda against the alien attack, Vision’s human form and he being ripped off his yellow stone, to Thanos arriving on Earth and flaunting his two Infinity Stone, the trailer has numerous hair-raising moments, just like the Spider sense! If seen closely, it also gives ample hints at all the happy and sad moments that the audience will witness in the mega superhero film.
