Avengers: Infinity War Trailer - 8 Most Revealing Shots

5. Thor Attempts To Save His Ship

One of the most difficult-to-decipher shots in the trailer depicts Thor - complete with his now-signature eyepatch - pulling on two switches or levers, like he's trying to hold something together before it falls apart.

This shot has thrown up numerous theories already - "Thor has been shrunk by Ant-Man so he can slip inside the Infinity Gauntlet" is one of the most interesting - but evidence points to this scene taking place near the start of the film, meaning it must be a shot of Thor trying to save the Asgardian ship.

Note Thor's clothing - a dark, sleeveless shirt with a high collar. He's wearing this same outfit in the scene where he bumps into the Guardians, which surely takes place at the start of the movie...

...meaning that the ship-lever scene must also take place at the start of the movie (unless Thor doesn't change his costume, ever. He definitely does, though - he wore long-sleeved armour in Vanity Fair's recent Infinity War photoshoot).

The alternative is that Thor is trying to destroy Thanos' ship, and this is a shot of him in some sort of engine room. Whichever take you prefer, this moment seems to happen early on, and could be one of the first things we see once the Marvel logo has fully rolled.
