2. All The Unexpected Pairings

Last month, Entertainment Weekly released a series of 15 magazine covers to commemorate the release of Infinity War, with many of the covers featuring some rather...unexpected superhero pairings.

The duos were: Nebula (Karen Gillan) and Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen), Thor, Groot and Rocket, Star-Lord and Okoye (Danai Gurira), Vision and Shuri, Mantis (Pom Klementieff) and Bucky (Sebastian Stan), War Machine (Don Cheadle) and Drax, and Falcon (Anthony Mackie) and Gamora (Zoe Saldana).

While it's unlikely that these strict character pairings will hold throughout the entire movie, it does at least seem to suggest who will be spending the most time with who. We already know that Shuri examines Vision on Wakanda and Thor hangs out with Rocket and Groot quite a bit, so you should probably expect some comedic and action-based beats centred around all these team-ups.
