Avengers: Infinity War Trailer - 11 Major Plot Reveals

2. The Battle Of Wakanda

While Thanos is busy elsewhere, the major action set-piece is taking place on Wakanda. And it looks HUGE. Admittedly Thanos' army is looking a little too much like the large enemy hordes we've seen in both other Avengers movies, but the scale is certainly impressive and the roster of superheroes involved even more so.

Just from this we can place Steve Rogers and Black Panther as being the leaders of this fight, assisted by Black Widow, Hulk, Okoye, War Machine, Falcon, and Bucky, who are up against some weird alien creatures.

Steve and T'Challa's fights look great, as is the sight of Bucky with his machine gun, and is probably a battle for one of the Infinity Stones. Judging from the size of the fight, a good bet is that this is a quest for the last (or one of the last) one Thanos needs, while he himself is presumably busy with Iron Man, Doctor Strange, and the Guardians.

It's also a sneaky tease for Black Panther, because it makes Wakanda an absolutely crucial location that fans will want to know about, but also spoils it a little: we see Man-Ape, aka M'Baku, lined up behind T'Challa, so their differences will be resolved by this stage.
