Avengers: Infinity War - 13 Major Plot Reveals From Trailer 2

1. Cap Dies?!

Ever since Captain America: Civil War was revealed to be the third Cap movie, it looked suspiciously like Steve Rogers was going to end up as the first big casualty of the MCU. And even when that film ended with him safely hiding underground, there was no getting around the fact that he still looks like dead meat, thanks to the issue of Chris Evans' soon-to-expire contract.

Now we know that Cap will come face to face with Thanos at one point in the Battle of Wakanda, with the sequence cleverly mirroring the scene in The First Avenger when a still-skinny Rogers tells a local bully that he can "do this all day."

The call-back to that scene is clearly very much intentional, as we're supposed to think that this is the end of Cap's arc. By the look of it, he goes out as he came in, standing up to a bully and taking a beating for it. Unfortunately for him, Thanos is a completely different type of bully and the beat-down will be more severe. Like, fatal severe.

And if you need further evidence... This sequence looks like a direct parallel to Cap's heroic stand against him in the comics...
