New teasers for Avengers: Infinity War may tell us who Thanos’ first victims are

This is all guess-work right now, but still, potential SPOILERS!

Ninteen movies over eleven years have led to this, an all-out intergalactic war with pretty much every major character from the Marvel Cinematic Universe getting involved in the scrap.

Yep, we’re on the cusp of Avengers: Infinity War, and the arrival of big space baddie Thanos (Josh Brolin), who has been hinted at taking aim at Earth for some time now.

With his plan to bring balance to the universe, which in his eyes means allowing half of everything to live and the other half to… well… die, all eyes have been on who will and won’t be making it out of this war alive.

Infinity War aligns with many of the actor’s contracts running up, with the big money on Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jnr. being just two of actors we’ll be saying goodbye to.

However, these new teasers seem to hint towards the fate of a few others, too.

The first one sees Peter Parker officially knighted one of the Avengers in the wake of Thanos’ arrival above New York, as well as the Hulk Hulk-ing out on what looks like Thor’s ship from the end of Ragnarok, which could very well explain how it is that Thor gets picked up in the wreckage out in space by the Guardians Of The Galaxy…

The next teaser, titled “End Of Vision”, kind of gives the game away in the title.

Or does it?

Yeah, it probably does.

Considering that Thanos’ Infinity Gauntlet requires all of the Infinity Gems, one of which is embedded in Vision’s forehead and he requires it to stay alive…

We’ll know for certain once Avengers: Infinity War is released in Irish cinemas from Thursday 26 April.
