Earlier today, Marvel dropped the trailer for Avengers: Infinity War. In the immortal words of Stefon: It. Has. Everything. Captain America with a beard. Spider-Man in an iron suit. Thanos out of his space-chair. A portal (there’s always a portal). What the trailer lacks in, y’know, plot, it more than makes up in your childhood dream of watching the Hulk and Black Panther run through Wakanda together coming true. What, no one else had that dream?
Anthony and Joe Russo’s Infinity War (and its sequel, the still-untitled Avengers 4) is the culmination of a decade of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, so needless to say, fans are stoked. And they’re sharing their excitement on Twitter.
Hearing the theme song tickled everyone’s Spidey sense.

The slow-motion running invited Baywatch comparisons.

Thanos made quite the entrance.

The differences between this trailer and the one from D23 were also spotted.
Interesting detail: Thor had two eyes in the leaked D23 trailer from over the summer pic.twitter.com/RcUhcJZdyq

In the D23/SDCC #InfinityWar footage, Thor slams on the windshield of the Milano, Rocket goes "Ahh! Get it off get it off! Use the wipers!". Then Thor is on a table unconscious, he wakes up, and then this shot happens. pic.twitter.com/z4K8luNhfu

This is the famous “moon shot” from the D23/SDCC footage. They didn’t show it in the trailer here, but a moon is over his left shoulder and the immediate next shot here is him crushing it and throwing the debris. #InfinityWar pic.twitter.com/iWIDeLAs6a

But the real highlight was Cap’s marvelous facial hair.
