Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) misses Captain America's (Steve Rogers) "giddy optimism" in a newly-released Avengers: Endgame TV Spot. It's been a tumultuous last couple of years for the MCU heroes following their falling out in Captain America: Civil War. But after suffering a devastating loss to Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War, the two seems to be ready to set aside their differences for the common good in the much-anticipated Joe and Anthony Russo-directed film. Written by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, the project will wrap up the 22-film arc that the franchise has been treading since 2008's Iron Man collectively known as The Infinity Saga.
Plot details are still tightly under wraps with Disney's marketing designed to not give anything away in terms of Endgame's narrative. Infinity War was one of the most secretive productions ever, and with its sequel supposedly having more spoilers, it makes sense that Marvel Studios is doubling down on security. Trailers have barely revealed anything about how things pan out for both the remaining heroes and Thanos. But the TV spots, which have been rolling out regularly for the past several days offering fans an idea on what to expect in the Phase 3 capper. The latest promo clip previews what kind of dynamic the two MCU founding heroes will have in the film.
Shared by Marvel Studios' official Twitter account is a new Endgame TV spot composed of old and new footage. The clip starts with an emotional narration from Black Widow explaining how she never had the family, but because of the Avengers, she somehow found people she can totally trust. The video continues with a flurry of scenes and ends with a new dialog from Tony, seemingly telling Steve that he misses Steve Rogers' "giddy optimism." Watch the clip below:
Fans have seen the particular exchange between Iron Man and Captan America in a couple of previously released clips, but Marvel Studios continues to change the lines in the scene. In an earlier video, Stark was asking Steve about getting the whole team together, while in another, he says it would be nice to not die trying to execute their plan to take down Thanos. With the Russos admitting footage manipulation for the sake of Endgame's marketing, it won't be surprising if nothing in these spots are in the film - at least in the scene in question. Nonetheless, it's a great promotional material considering people's investment in these two characters - both in their separate and collective arcs. Infinity War kept them separate all throughout with just minor references to one another, and seeing them reunite for the Phase 3 capper will definitely be one of the most powerful scenes in the project. And if they retain the same vibe that these exchanges have, it's safe to say that the heroes will be able to recover from their previous conflict and not have a problem operating as a unit.
Stark and Rogers are two heroes expected to exit the MCU via Avengers: Endgame. While most are convinced that they'll both die fighting the good fight, there are several other ways to sideline them without the need to permanently write them out of the franchise. If anything, no one's really gone in the world of comic books and if Marvel Studios wants to emulate that, they would also have to somehow follow the same format. Chances are that although fans won't be seeing them as prominently as they are in the franchise in the coming years, they can easily be called back for another event film to evoke nostalgia from their long-time supporters.
