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!

Tim Burton is confirmed to direct the film, which will hit theaters on March 29, 2019. Disney also confirmed some major casting, including Colin Farrell, Danny Devito, Eva Green, Michael Keaton, Nico Parker, and Finley Hobbins.
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."

Wreck-It Ralph 2 Includes All the Disney Princesses
The Disney Animation panel at Friday's D23 Expo included an exclusive sneak peek at a mixture of rough and more polished animation from Ralph Breaks the Internet: Wreck-It Ralph 2, the high point of which was an extended sequence showing Vanellope Von Schweetz (Sarah Silverman, who was on hand to help present the footage) encountering ALL the Disney animated princesses, from Snow White to Moana.
In the film, Ralph and Vanellope escape the arcade and enter the Internet so she can find a fix for her Sugar Rush game. During their journey, they encounter Yesss, an algorithm of a trending site called Buzzaholic voiced by Empire and Hidden Figures' Taraji P. Henson. She takes them to OhMyDisney.com, where nearly every Disney-owned intellectual property is represented, from Disney and Pixar Animation (we see a Buzz Lightyear toy in a Toy Story 4 product box) to Marvel (hey, look, it's Stan Lee!) and Lucasfilm.
