In the first trailer for Avengers: Infinity War, Earth’s mightiest heroes assembled to fight Thanos. In a new Super Bowl TV spot for Marvel’s impending blockbuster, we got a better sense of just how hard assembling will be — the Avengers are split up across the world.
Watch: Avengers: Infinity War’s Super Bowl trailer has more Spider-Man, less unity
It’s going to be a challenge to get them back together.
In the new TV spot, Captain America is in Wakanda. Doctor Strange is hanging out with Iron Man. Loki is hiding in the shadows. And in some new footage, we see that Spider-Man is, for the moment, flying solo and on the ride of his life.
Directed by the Russo brothers, Infinity War represents the culmination of a decade of Marvel moviemaking and the final piece in Marvel Studios’ plan to create a universe of interlocking superhero movies. Various Marvel superheroes have already teamed up in crossover epics like The Avengers and Avengers: Age of Ultron. Infinity War looks to be the biggest and baddest of those crossovers yet.
Avengers: Infinity War (Part I) hits theaters on May 4, 2018.
