Infinity War Trailer Shows Spider-Man’s Spidey Sense
The first teaser trailer for Avengers: Infinity War closed out D23 Expo's live action Disney films panel, and while it remains unclear when and if Marvel will release the Infinity War trailer to the public, there were some very exciting reveals in it -- beyond, you know, the Thanos of it all.
Consider this a spoiler warning if you want to go in completely clean, but as this is a trailer, we will report on it as news.
The release of Spider-Man: Homecoming had many fans questioning whether the Spidey Sense exists in the MCU, and while Kevin Feige has addressed that question already, the Infinity War trailer seems to have put it to rest with one very quick scene.
First Avengers: Infinity War Trailer Details
The first trailer for Avengers: Infinity War was revealed at D23 Expo 2017, and while it's unclear whether Marvel will release the trailer to the public, there was notable news to come out of the footage.
Consider this a spoiler warning if you want to go in completely clean, but as this is a trailer, we will report on it as news.
The trailer for Infinity War opens with the Guardians of the Galaxy, as we last left them, flying through space on the Milano. Mantis says, "We are arriving," and Star-Lord responds that they need to "put on our mean faces."
It's unclear what drew them to this location -- whether a signal or otherwise -- but, as they're flying through the wreckage in space at this location, a body bumps into the ship's windshield. They bring the body into the ship and... it's Thor!

Disney's official description is as follows: "Holt Farrier (Farrell) is a former circus star who finds his life turned upside down when he returns from the war. Circus owner Max Medici (DeVito) enlists Holt to care for a newborn elephant whose oversized ears make him a laughingstock in an already struggling circus. But when Holt’s children (Parker and Hobbins) discover that Dumbo can fly, persuasive entrepreneur V.A. Vandevere (Keaton) and an aerial artist named Colette Marchant (Green) swoop in to make the peculiar pachyderm a star."

The inspiration for the film will be both the animated Disney hit, as well as the classic collection of stories One Thousand and One Nights.
