Marvel's Avengers Trailer Breakdown - 12 Things Everyone Totally Missed
2. A Helicarrier Heads Straight For New York
Square Enix
There are few vehicles in the Marvel universe as iconic as the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier, which is why it's so concerning that one appears to be hurtling straight for the middle of NYC.
Fortunately the God of Thunder is on the case, using Mjolnir to power the two remaining turbines at the front of the vehicle. This looks to be an actual gameplay segment and not a cutscene, but it's the exact kind of set-piece that should empower players and make them feel like they're actually a part of Earth's Mightiest Heroes.
It looks to be a similar set-up to what Stark encounters while in space, and while an actual city isn't confirmed in this image, it does look an awful lot like Manhattan.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
