Based on the timing of the release of the trailer for Avengers: Infinity War (November 29th 2017), we should be getting our first look at the as-yet-untitled Avengers 4 any time soon; recent rumours claimed it would be with us this past Friday, and now that’s come and gone, the latest talk is that it will be with us this week.
This coming Wednesday, Collider is hosting a special screening of Avengers: Infinity War, and given that it also includes a special Q&A with co-directors Anthony and Joe Russo, speculation is rife that the filmmaker’s will be unveiling the first trailer for the next movie.
As Anton Volkov of Trailer Track points out, Collider’s screenings usually tie into something, but it would be a surprise if Marvel used the event to actually unveil the trailer given that the screening isn’t anywhere near the level of a Good Morning America or Jimmy Kimmel Live! debut. Volkov suggests that the more likely scenario – if we are indeed getting a trailer this week – is that Marvel releases the trailer ahead of the screening, with the Russos then using the Q&A to discuss it with fans in attendance.
Now, this is all little more than speculation, but I’d be very surprised if the trailer isn’t with us this week, and it’s surely all but certain that it will arrive before the launch of the Avengers 4 prelude comic on December 5th.

This is getting sad and pathetic now. Is it too hard to wait patiently and silently until the trailer just drops? Do we really need to reset the fanfare every time there’s whispers of a new release date, only to be disappointed when our unfounded expectations don’t lead anywhere? Don’t get me wrong, I love the MCU, but this hyperbolic anticipation from the media has become trite and tepid by now.
Let’s also face the fact that Avengers 4 is one of the rare projects that could get away with no promotion at all until release, and implicitly inciting the masses to rally behind a trailer that simply won’t land is the ultimate lesson on patience… as well as give the folks at Marvel a good laugh.
