Avengers: Infinity War Trailer Reactions: 8 Ups & 3 Downs

7. Spidey Senses!

It's in no way a big thing, but the reveal of Peter Parker's Spidey Senses in the trailer is one of those fan-baiting moments that gets people talking enough to power entire marketing campaigns.

That little shot of Peter realising something is up - thanks to his in-built warning system - is genius, and it's just one of those moments throughout the trailer designed squarely at disarming even the most cynical of fanboys. One of the other big ones is the reveal of the Iron Spider suit already teased in Homecoming, and there are others: the Hulkbuster's return, Bucky on the battle-field, Black Panther calling for a shield for Cap... It's all precisely designed for maximum fanboy hype and it lands perfectly.
