The One Thing EVERYBODY Missed In The Avengers: Endgame Super Bowl Trailer

We can now safely assume that everything we've seen has been at the start of the film. The brooding mournful shots from the first trailer, Ant-Man arriving at the gates, Stark in space, it all looks like being part of the opening act of Endgame. Well, almost everything we've already seen, there is now one notable exception...

One scene from the original trailer that now comes loaded with additional context is the reintroduction of Clint Barton; free now as he is from his Hawkeye mantle and instead under the guise of Ronin. Originally we only briefly saw Romanov watching him clean his sword, with her hair hidden from the shot.

But with the knowledge now that the time jump includes her growing it out and tying it back, the dots connect. The reason he's missing from all of the footage from the Avengers complex is because the isn't introduced until the second act when, for whatever reason, Natasha feels the need to find him for their next move.

Now you can read into that however much or as little as you'd like, but the implication is certainly that the film's culmination will see every major hero from the series past and present brought together. Barton, clearly affected by the loss of (you'd assume) his family, is a drastically different character from the one we last saw in Civil War.

It's a testament to the expectation level for Endgame that even a simple haircut can be used to extrapolate both character arc and the complexity of the narrative, but here we are. We've likely got at least one more full-length trailer before the film releases in April, so expect similar conclusions to be drawable then.

This does, of course, come with the caveat that this is a Marvel trailer, and as such you can't discount the possibly that we've all been show things designed to thrown us off certain scents. Hulk featured in the closing shot of the Infinity War trailer precisely to stop people asking where he was, and it wouldn't be beyond the realms of possibility that Romanov's hair is a similar piece of misdirection. As ever, we won't know until we know.
