Avengers: Endgame isn't just a sequel to Infinity War; it's the climax of the MCU as we know it. Yes, the universe will go on, many of these characters will endure, and there'll be countless more movies, but in terms of the story-arc they've been telling so far, led by Iron Man and Captain America, this is the end.

So what better way to really hammer that point home than going back to the beginning. The trailer opens with black-and-white shots from Iron Man, Captain America, and Thor's movies, highlighting just how far these characters have come. It also cements that trio as the heart of the movie: this is really about the original six Avengers, and of those they're the ones with their own solo trilogies and thus the biggest characters, and this is their journey that's truly coming to a close. They've lost the most, and have the biggest stake in this fight.
