Thanos (Josh Brolin), the cosmic entity
behind many of the events in the Marvel
Cinematic Universe, arrives on Earth to
finish collecting the “Infinity Stone” gems
that will make him all-powerful. “In time,
you will know what it’s like to lose,” he
says in voice-over. “To feel so desperately
that you’re right, yet to fail all the same.
Dread it. Run from it. Destiny still arrives.”
Also on hand are the Falcon (Anthony
Mackie), War Machine (Don Cheadle),
the Winter Solider (Sebastian Stan) and
Okoye (Danai Gurira), one of the Panther’s
elite Dora Milaje guard. Conspicuously
missing from the trailer are Ant-Man (Paul
Rudd) and the Wasp (Evangeline Lilly).
