Four Years Ago, The First “Avengers: Endgame” Teaser Was Released



 

In what seemed like only yesterday but actually was released four years ago this day - Marvel Studios, Kevin Feige, and The Russo Brothers unleashed the very first trailer and title reveal to the then unnamed fourth Avengers film - which was revealed to be “Avengers: Endgame” at the end of a teaser that was built upon the fallout of “Avengers: Infinity War” in which Thanos succeeded in eliminating half of life in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.


In many ways it’s ironic that we look back at this moment in movie history and relate it to what has happened thus far - the world is continuing to cope and rise back up following a pandemic that, similar to The Snap, has changed life as we know it and is eerily similar to what the characters in the film had to do after that and post-Blip.

Watch the trailer again here.
