Lest you’re not aware, a new trailer for Avengers: Endgame was released a few days back. If you’ve somehow missed it even when it’s trending in YouTube with a total view of 65 million views as of time of writing, do yourself a favour and watch it here first:

And by now, you should know the ending of the last Avengers movie. I mean, even Rochor Neighbourhood Police Centre did an insidious crime of posting a spoiler in their Facebook Page:

Since then, we’ve all been wondering: how can we see Peter Parker again? Are they going to just let everyone stay dead? Are they going to time-travel to the past to change history? Is Captain Marvel going to do a Superman and rotate the earth?

And most importantly…is Goose going to play a major role again?

The new trailer has answered more questions, and if you’re like me who likes to predict the ending of a movie before watching it, then read on because I’m 98% sure I’ll be correct, if not I’ll donate 1% of my next month’s pay to a charity of your choice.

It’s Time Travel After All

In the latest trailer, footage of what happened in the past occurred: from how Iron Man first became Iron Man and how Steve Rogers looked like before turning into Captain America. The footages are somehow desaturated (black and white) except for the colour red.

And the trailer is simply about the surviving Avengers claiming that they won’t accept what had happened, and that they would do “whatever it takes” to do…something.

Pretty sure it’s not to find Goose, but to time-travel to the past to change history (corny but effective).

Why Time Travel?

Here’s when there’s a spoiler alert if you’ve yet to watch Ant Man and the Wasp, another MCU movie.

Ready? Here goes.

In a post-credits scene, Ant-Man went into the quantum realm via a home-made van and it supposedly had a “time vortex” in it. He was stuck in it when his friends turned into ashes as they were about to bring him back, leaving Ant-Man trapped in the realm.

And in the first trailer of Avengers: Endgame, it’s revealed that Ant-Man managed to get out of the realm and even brought the van along.

So, with the remaining Avengers in white suits that look suitable for a journey into the quantum realm, let’s just say that we’re still going to see our favourite Peter Parker again.

Though we might still see some deaths, because it’s…

A New Beginning for MCU

In case you’re not aware, Marvel Cinematic Universe is divided into phrases. Here’s a breakdown of the different phrases:

Phrase 1 (2008 to 2012):

  • Iron Man
  • The Incredible Hulk
  • Iron Man 2
  • Thor
  • Captain America: The First Avenger
  • The Avengers

Phrase 2 (2013 to 2015)

  • Iron Man 3
  • Thor: The Dark World
  • Captain America: The Winter Soldier
  • Guardians of the Galaxy
  • Avengers: Age of Ultron
  • Ant-Man

Phrase 3 (2016 to 2019)

  • Captain America: Civil War
  • Doctor Strange
  • Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
  • Spider-Man: Homecoming
  • Thor: Ragnarok
  • Black Panther
  • Avengers: Infinity War
  • Ant-Man and the Wasp
  • Captain Goose Marvel
  • Avengers: Endgame

Avengers: Endgame would be the last movie in Phrase 3, and it’s unknown how Phrase 4 will pan out: maybe Goose would get his own movie, or maybe Captain Marvel would be promoted to Major Marvel.

In any case, with the end of Phrase 3, anything can happen. And with time travel…maybe it’ll be a reboot?
