Avengers: Infinity War - 10 Fresh Predictions Based On The Trailers

10. Heavy Asgardian Casualties

The inhabitants of Asgard were last seen making their way to Earth by spacecraft following the destruction of the Norse realm at the hands of Surtur, but Thor: Ragnarok's post-credits stinger suggests they hit a massive snag along the way. That huge warship they encounter is none other than Thanos's Sanctuary II.

There are worrying signs that most of the Asgardians don't come away from this confrontation in good shape, and perhaps the most telling came in Infinity War's debut trailer. There's a shot of Loki walking through smouldering ruins, stepping over numerous corpses in Norse-style garb as he advances.

This suggests that Thanos attacks the refugee ship and leaves heavy Asgardian casualties in his wake. Adding fuel to this theory, Thor is picked up in deep space by the Guardians of the Galaxy and several of the characters on board his craft - including Heimdall and Valkyrie - are not listed among the Infinity War cast.

Although Marvel is unlikely to kill off every Asgardian who aren't named Thor or Loki - this seems too dark for the MCU, and Valkyrie should be given the chance to appear in future movies - expect the herd to be thinned considerably.
