Avengers: Endgame - 6 Big Ways The Trailer Could Be Lying To You
6. Tony's Clothing Makes No Sense
There's been a lot of speculation that the shots of Tony we see in the trailer actually take place deep into the film, and that's certainly a possibility.
If this takes place right after Infinity War, why does he automatically assume that Pepper is alive, and that she hasn't been snapped? He doesn't say anything like "if you're still there" while recording his message. Has he seen her alive already? Plus, how does he have a new helmet after his last one was destroyed by Thanos, and he's presumably running low on nano-tech?
Some of these apparent inconsistencies can be explained away of course, but one of the most interesting parts of this scene is the black vest top that Tony is wearing.
Let's assume that this scene follows on directly from the events of Infinity War, as the trailer implies it does. When we last saw him in the latter film, he was wearing a dark jacket with nothing underneath. Since that's vanished here, he must have raided Peter Quill's closet aboard the Benatar to find a change of clothes, right?
Except that a black vest top doesn't really seem like something Quill would own, or even wear. He hasn't shown an affinity towards this type of clothing in any of his prior appearances, instead preferring to sport jackets, t-shirts, and long-sleeved shirts.
Quill is also a lot bulkier than Tony, so how would Tony manage to find a vest top that is, miraculously, a perfect fit?
But do you know who does own a black vest top? Someone who's worn one on multiple occasions in the past? Tony Stark. He wore an identical black vest top with a curved neck in this scene in Iron Man 2.
Presumably, Tony has a couple of these vests on Earth, which could mean that his scenes in the Endgame trailer are set after he's already been home.
Or, this is just deliberate misdirection, or, this scene isn't in the movie at all, so they just used a random costume. At this point, it's hard to guess what Marvel is really up to.
