With Marvel’sInfinity Warcurrently in post-production, afterAvengers 3 wrappedin July, fans have been wondering when the first trailer will drop. While we still have quite some time before the June 13, 2025 release date, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige confirmed in a recent interview that it would arrive, “before the end of the year.” Now the guessing game begins as to when exactly we might see this footage, but, given the studio’s recent history of releasing trailers, there are a few possibilities that may happen.
There was a rumor in September that theInfinity War trailermay debut on September 29, during the series premiere ofMarvel’s Inhumans, but that never came to fruition. WithThor: Ragnarokhitting theaters on November 3, that’s likely too early for the trailer launch, but it’s possible that Marvel could drop the trailer during one of the finalMonday Night Footballgames, on the Disney-owned ESPN network. Disney just usedMonday Night Footballthis week to debut the highly-anticipated trailer for Disney’sStar Wars: The Last Jedi. Disney and LucasFilm also usedMNFto debut one of theStar Wars: The Force Awakenstrailers back in 2015, but for Marvel trailers and footage, they tend to use a different ABC series,Jimmy Kimmel Live.
Marvel has used the late-night talk showJimmy Kimmel Liveto debut trailers forGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2,Doctor StrangeandCaptain America: Civil War, so it wouldn’t be surprising if the show was used again to reveal the first footage fromAvengers: Infinity War. It could also be followed with a number of cast members coming on the show to discuss thissuperhero ensemble, but this has obviously not been confirmed yet. Still, given the tendency of Marvel to use this popular late-night talk show to promote what could be the biggest Marvel movie yet, it may not be surprising to see the trailer show up onJimmy Kimmel Live.
This new report comes just days after Marvel’s Louis D’Esposito tweeted that theAvengers 3 trailer isn’t ready yet, and that it’s currently “being finished.” The executive did not give any sort of timeline as to when the trailer might be produced. Marvel still hasn’t released much about the story yet, or confirmed a full cast list for this massive movie quite yet, but those details may be released when this trailer finally is released to the public. Fans who attended the D23 Expo and Comic-Con 2017 this summer got to see the first footage fromAvengers: Infinity War, but the studio never released that footage to the public.
Last month, Benedict Cumberbatch claimed thatAvengers: Infinity Waris the “greatest Marvel movie ever,” teasing that everything that has been laid out in the Marvel Cinematic Universe for the past 10 years will culminate with this movie. As Kevin Feige and other Marvel figures continue doing press forThor: Ragnarok, it’s possible that moreAvengers: Infinity Wardetails will be revealed, but it seems unlikely that we’ll get an official trailer release date anytime soon. Take a look at the tweet fromErik Davis' Twitterregarding theAvenges: Infinity Wartrailer.
