New Avengers: Endgame TV Spot Reveals Thanos Monologue
Thanos gets a menacing monologue in a new TV spot for Avengers: Endgame. Although it features some of the same footage revealed in yesterday’s “special look”, the video is made up of several new shots mixed in with some we’ve seen before.
Thanos explains that he has absolutely no remorse over what he did to half the universe, and that he openly taunts the Avengers by implying that his next course of action (which is almost certainly trying to kill them to ensure that his work is not undone) is something that he’ll relish doing:

Quite a bit of new footage has been snuck into this TV spot. First up is a shot of Captain Marvel figuring out just how many of the allies to Nick Fury’s Avengers team were snapped out of existence mere hours before she returned to Earth. Looking closely reveals that Dr. Erik Selvig, who had an important role in the first Avengers movie and a supporting role in the second, is among the casualties. We see a suitless Iron Man on a spaceship, looking in awe at something on the horizon. And lastly, we see War Machine and Rocket slide off of a surface in what looks to be the midst of a battle.
It’s quite impressive that Marvel have been able to keep a lid on most of the spoilers, especially since we know that half of the movie’s cast (read: the snapped characters) won’t even be shown in the trailers due to Marvel’s insistence to avoid doing that. But Marvel can just add that to their bragging rights that come with successfully completing a 22-movie “Infinity Saga” in a grand total of 11 years. They’re not slowing down at all, and things are only going to get crazier and more ambitious from here, as hard as it may seem to imagine.
The film’s official synopsis is as follows:
The grave course of events set in motion by Thanos that wiped out half the universe and fractured the Avengers ranks compels the remaining Avengers to take one final stand in Marvel Studios’ grand conclusion to twenty-two films, Avengers: Endgame.
Avengers: Endgame hits theaters on April 26, 2019.
