    This is the first piece of actual marketing for this movie though

    Like literally has this movie actually been "announced" prior to this point?

    I mean.

    Yes?

    It was previously called Infinity War Part 2 until they said "that's not going to be the title"

    Yeah they said after Infinity War came out that they regretted hiding the title because it made it into a whole thing when they weren't expecting it to be much of a reveal, and I can definitely see why.

    Other than that looks great. Super glad to see the Ronin stuff was true.

    Title aside, I thought it was a good teaser.

    Also I guess the rumors were true
    Hawkeye is now Ronin

    I appreciate how low-key the teaser was

    I'm mad about
    Ronin

    Even without the hype, that's a pretty ho-hum title

    And a kind of boring teaser, although I liked the Tony stuff at the beginning and the
    Scott stuff right at the end

    Hawkeye being very white and trying to be very Japanese seems a bit weird

    It's a comics thing that has a really weird backstory that's 100 percent not going to be in the film.

    Basically, Ronin was originally intended to be Daredevil hiding his identity and going all-in with the ninja bullshit. The creator was told that he couldn't use Daredevil after debuting the character, so changed the identity to a Hispanic woman who had never appeared before.

    Then Hawkeye took up the costume, with everyone thinking he was Daredevil for awhile. That's the one the movie is running with.

    Regarding that Avengers 4 trailer:
    I am so happy that Scott Lang is going to save the universe.

    Because he's probably my favorite MCU Avenger at this point.

    About the above spoiler:
    Echo, the woman who turned out to be Ronin, had appeared before in Daredevil.

    Also I didn't really think Hawkeye taking off a hood and turning round with a grim expression to be 'trying to be Japanese'.

    If this movie is at least 50% of the original Avengers cast I'll be happy.

    I want a lot of Tony and a lot of Steve in this.

    I mostly agree with you, and was super excited to see the
    Ronin
    costume.

    However Munkus is correct right above you. Avengers Forever is a better name. Maybe for the next one?

    I mean, pretty much the only people left are original flavor.

    Just a few flakes of that new brand.

    But it's mostly Avengers classic.

    My favorite part of the trailer is the big focus on the gat dang Thanos scarecrow.

    He's in Japan being a samurai? Ronin is a weird identity for a white guy

    It's not like, a deal breaker, it's just a bit eh

    they shoulda called it "Avengers: The Fourth One*

    *(unless you sort of count the third Captain America movie which would be fair in which case it's like 4.5, up to you)"

    I can see the posters now--they're beautiful

    Just like in comics when Captain America became Nomad, its more about the meaning of the name. In this case
    The guy who has spy training and good hand to hand and great archery skills but was tired of being a spy because a Ronin, a wandering warrior with no master. Like you can use a word from another language without "trying to be" that culture.

    I finally saw that Ultimate Alliance 3 trailer and I'm glad they got right out there and went "no we're not pulling that MvC shit this time, here is classic-ass Wolverine fighting some Sentinels too"

    So the Hawkeye thing in the trailer
    I have a feeling he is still going to be called Hawkeye, they are just using the Ronin costume because its a cool look and shows he has gone through some shit

    I can't see MCU Clint going NO HAWKEYE IS DEAD I AM RONIN NOW ONLY CALL ME RONIN even in a fit of family mourning

    yea seriously.
    They are not going to actually call him "Ronin" in the movie, much like they never called Cap 'Nomad' in Infinity War. I'd actually be interested in someone tallying up all the times any MCU character is referred to by their superhero name and not just their given name. It seems like it would be shockingly low (and certainly the given names would be more prevalent, in probably 100% of cases). They even joke about it in Infinity War ("Oh, we're using our codenames...")
