That’s a lot of superheroes for one movie

We’re just a few weeks away from the release of Avengers: Infinity War — its release date was recently bumped up a week to April 27th — and now, Marvel has released new trailer to stir up some more excitement for the upcoming superhero showdown.
Infinity War promises to be one of the biggest films Marvel has ever made, combining almost every single superhero from across the 18-film franchise that began 10 years ago with the release of Iron Man in 2008. As the star-studded trailer shows, Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man, Chadwick Boseman’s Black Panther, Chris Evans’ Captain America, Benedict Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange, Tom Holland’s Spider-Man, Paul Rudd’s Ant-Man, the rest of the Avengers, the Guardians of the Galaxy, and pretty much every other ancillary character from the Marvel Cinematic Universe are back.
All these highly paid actors will be joining forces against the villainous Thanos (Josh Brolin), the big bad that Marvel has been teasing in post-credit stingers since the first Avengers film was released six years ago. Thanos is trying to gather the six Infinity Stones, the MacGuffin items of power from across the various Marvel films. And judging by the trailer, it’ll be an uphill battle to stop him.
Avengers: Infinity War hits theaters April 27th.

Take my money, please!
Will there be another big skybeam and giant floating platform spaceship?
How could Captain America stop a punch for Thanos? A better move, imo, would have involved using Thanos hand to climb on his body and kick him in the head or something like that.
I’ve been burned out on the superhero thing for some time. Once disney gets its paws on something like star wars, they make you pray for death
Star Wars had six films that form a complete story. The first half is how Anakin SKywalker goes evil and the protagonists lose, the second part is how Luke Skywalker saves and helps the new Rebels undo it. As far as I am concerned, those six movies are the definitive story. Rogue One and Solo will likely be safe supplementary material in the long run.
Booooooo!!!!
Rogue One is better than 1 2 and 3 in terms of most acting and general storyline and realism (bothan suicide mission) and fits very well into the 4,5,6 storyline. Its basically 3.95.
yea rogue one was the best of the bunch
Looked like the same guy to me.
It will fail from straying completely away from the book
Not my money. I'll wait until I can watch it for free.
These superhero collaboration movies are formulaic. But the effects and action are diverting, I'll give you that.
A Really Bad Thing threatens humanity. The superheros assemble. There are conflicts amongst them, clashes of ego or opinion, doubts about their ability to work together. Typically one of them will fall into the role of outcast and/or downtrodden one.
Throughout the movie, the superheros endeavor to out-wisecrack each other, especially at times of great peril.
The Really Bad thing makes its entrance, things go badly for the superheros, it looks grim. The outcast or downtrodden one has a brilliant idea or does something selfless, and with the help of all the Really Bad Thing is defeated.
Teamwork, yay! The individual is only valuable for what he/she/it contributes to the collective. The End.
The aftercredits then a give a glimpse of the next Really Bad Thing. Next movie coming up.
Solo might be in a similar spot as Rogue One.
