There have been plenty of possible dates for the Avengers 4 trailer to drop – literally any day would be fine, guys – but they’re really dragging this out.
However, there’s an extremely strong possibility that the trailer for the movie they won’t even tell us the name of will finally debut on Wednesday evening, LA time – AKA sometime after lunch in Australia.
There’s a special screening of Avengers: Infinity War for 800 Marvel fans at the iconic Arclight Cinemas on Sunset Boulevard, with a Q&A from directors the Russo Brothers afterwards.
And two weeks ago, there was a flurry of reports that the trailer would drop… in two weeks.
Coupled with the fact that the trailer for Infinity War was released on November 29 last year, it just seems to fit that they’d debut the trailer at the screening.
The event itself will probably be more locked down than the G20, so we shouldn’t necessarily expect a crappy phone leak on social media or anything – but if they choose to give the lucky crowd a sneak peek, they probably won’t wait long to let the rest of us see it.
After all, no matter how nicely or legally binding-ly you ask 800 people to keep something to themselves, SOMEBODY’s going to go on Twitter and leak the title the second they get their phone back from the security guard on the way out.
Me telling all my professional business colleagues everything the second I get out of the cinema.
These are the same fans that used Stan Lee’s death to demand that Marvel Studios drop the trailer and/or reveal the film’s title in tribute. Some of these nerds have no damn shame.
Plus, they’ve gotta time it carefully – Ariana Grande’s going to drop the most hyped music video of the year any minute now and suck up every available bit of attention and energy on the internet.
The screening is at 6.30pm LA time, which is 1.30pm Thursday AEST. So stand by from then, because the countdown to next May may well be on for real this time.
