A number of characters are shown in great peril during the trailer, but none are so wince-inducing as what's happening to Doctor Strange.

The sorcerer's in possession of the Time Stone, which means he is definitely a big target for Thanos and his Children, which is what leads to his suffering at the hands of Ebony Maw.

It's unclear exactly what Maw is doing to him, but as part of the Black Order and someone with genius-level intellect, it's not just a spot of acupuncture. In the comic Infinity, which is where this movie is drawing the Black Order from, Maw does use his powers to torture Strange, with major ramifications. Are we going to see something similar play out here?
