The human-sized statue of Thanos, made by Legacy Effects, is on display at D23 Expo 2017, along with the Black Order statue/"Children of Thanos": Corvus Glaive, Proxima Midnight, Ebony Maw and Cull Obsidian. In addition, Feige, Joe Russo, Downey, Brolin, Bettany, Olsen, Klementieff, Gillan, Bautista, Cheadle, Mackie, Cumberbatch, Stan, The Netherlands, Boseman, Ruffalo and Hemsworth appeared at D23 Expo to present clips that highlighted 10 years of MCU film , along with footage from Infinity War . The recording, which is played exclusively for the panel, receives a strong audience reaction, with fans "actually standing and jumping when recording is playing". Julia Alexander of Polygon commented, "to say that there is enough going on in the trailer would be an underestimating one, but that's not what makes me excited about the promises of the Infinity War may be giving up.Seeing Spider-Man in the same movie as Iron Man, Thor, Star-Lord, and Scarlet Witch finally feel like Marvel has made the movie he always wanted - and the movies we always wanted To see.For nearly ten years we dreamed and Eric Eisenberg of CinemaBlend says that the tape left her "really vibrating", with the film being seen "as it could be one of the most epic blockbuster films ever." It's impossible not to feel emotional. ever made ", concluding" hype [for movies] most definitely feels very, very real ". Haleigh Foutch for Collider says, "It looks dark and dramatic, and is really epic, obviously Marvel is trying to do something different here... to pay for the world's narrative and world building for a decade, although it's impossible to tell from two minutes of work recording, it certainly looks that the gamble pays off. "The D23 recording is also shown at San Diego Comic-Con International 2017. Due to two convention presentations, Avengers: Infinity War generated over 90,000 new conversations on social media out of 17 until July 23rd, the third most during the time period behind Thor: Ragnarok and Justice League , according to comScore and its PreAct service. Unlimited War is in third place next week, with over 41,000 new social media conversations, behind Ragnarok and It . On the week of October 16th, Infinity War has generated over 679,000 total social media conversations.

To promote the launch of the movie's first trailer, Marvel released a "retrospective video looking back on some of its best trailers" since Iron Man , "paired with a fan reaction video for the trailer." The first trailer for Avengers: Infinity War debuted on Good Morning America on November 29, 2017. Josh Spiegel from The Hollywood Reporter said, "The promise trailers, in many ways, exactly what people with familiarity pass by with superhero films will expect... "but" the most important part of the trailer is how to carefully, deliberately introducing the idea that the Infinity War movies will serve as a torch flare, from a set of Avengers to a newer group. "Scott Mendelson's paper, Forbes, notes that although the footage is not much different from the convention footage that was screened earlier in the year, it was" very impressive.In addition, he uses the 'Avengers Initiative' Nick Fury is great. 'speech, along with Avengers theme Alan Silvestri, to excellent effect. "In contrast to Mendelson, Alexander commented on different marketing strategies for movies between scenes recording conventions and trailer scenes, felt "the two could not be more different". He noted how the recording of the convention ("intended to please people walking on a little sleep and anxiety with anticipation") was released between Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and Thor: Ragnarok , and "[i] it makes sense to use Thor and Guardian to sicken Infinity War " because "Marvel relies on anticipation < i> Thor: Ragnarok and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 ' s to excite fans, and recording old films set to classic Marvel scores as a way to riding home how the film is the show itself. "In contrast, the trailer (" designed to explain what will happen, taunts it with extra background ") strongly displays Black Panther and Wakanda, which Alexander says can not be done before, without additional marketing to Black Panther that occurred after the convention to provide additional context. Gael Cooper of CNET observed that the trailer was seen nearly 500,000 times in the first 15 minutes after it was posted on YouTube, but was asked whether the trailer damaged the site after the counter display stalled at 467,331.

In addition, Disney plans to contribute 10% of the sale of all Marvel products purchased at Disney Stores in the United States and online on the 3rd weekend of March to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, up to $ 50,000. Hasbro donated $ 1 million in cash and products to Give Kids the World Village and Funko made a $ 1 million toy contribution to Starlight.

The second trailer was released on March 16, 2018, which earned over 1 million views on YouTube in less than three hours after its release. Alyssa Rosenberg of The Washington Post is less enthusiastic about other superhero movies that have "heavy-effects-heavy criminals, or other mysterious objects hanging above the Manhattan skyline", but felt the trailer made him realize "that I'm really looking forward to seeing [MCU characters] getting to know each other". Josh Spiegel of The Hollywood Reporter agreed with Rosenberg about the potential for character interaction, taking notes "shows that some of these meetings will keep the latest MCU movie play tones". He continued, "It is arguably interesting to stack up all the introductions of crossover styles or combinations of heroes in movies like this, such as the superpower version of two preferred TV shows especially in hopes of getting more viewers to pay attention, but the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe is built on the foundations of the heroes who are in the same room, so their last meeting has more anticipation than watching them face against Thanos. "The second trailer was seen 179 million times in the first 24 hours, the third most-viewed trailer in a period of time that, behind the first trailer for the film and It , while also being the biggest release for the second trailer, surpassing the Beauty and the Beast (128 million views).

The Russo brothers are fans of Fortnite and approached Donald Mustard, the worldwide creative director of Epic Games, about the potential for cross-property crossbreeding. On November 20, 2018, Little, Brown and Company will publish Marvel's Avengers: Infinity War: Thanos - Titan Consumed , written by Barry Lyga. Although not in the MCU Marvel Studios canon, the novel explores Thanos's origins before the film. Lyga noted that she spoke with Marvel Studios to get an "outline of who Thanos was and what she meant for the movies," and was "given great freedom and freedom in [in some areas of the story], while elsewhere I had to tip- toe very carefully through the MCU ".

Todd McCarthy of The Hollywood Reporter praise the writer-director's ability to balance the great figures, saying, "... writers Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely and directors Anthony and Joe Russo, under the supervision of maestro Marvel Films Kevin Feige, acknowledged the ego's traffic jam and played it for a laugh ". Owen Gleiberman of Variety agrees, states, " Infinity War is an entertaining, structured jamboree to show off every hero or hero and give them enough to do, and to update their mythology without making it all feel like homework. "Peter Travers said the movie was" too much of a good thing "and wrote," The Russo brothers obviously never learned the concept They have been using the premise of the Avengers reunion to do fireworks explosions and laughter that will not stop. "Richard Roeper of Chicago Sun-Times calls it Marvel's" biggest and most ambitious movie "but concludes "it's definitely not the best, but there's a lot of action, humor and heart - and some really effective dramatic moments." Roeper went on to praise the cast and Josh Brolin in particular, whom he called " drag ". Gleiberman called Brolin's motion capture performance "very effective" and said, "Brolin thrust Thanos with his slant-eyed manipulative gaze, so the crime in this movie never feels less than personal." McCarthy writes, "Brolin is calm, assuming that reading of the character conferred this conquering animal with an unexpected emotional dimension, making it more than a thick super stick figure." McCarthy also praised the movie action sequence, saying " Infinity War is full of very spectacular battle sequences, even if the question of who will win each one has it arbitrary arbitrary can-Mighty-Rat -beat-up -Superman? Quality. "Gleiberman calls the scale of action," astonishing ", and Travers writes," Avengers: Infinity War makes the audience float in the air, feeling joy and cheated at the same time , feeling pain because of an unending closure comes... at least not yet.

"

AO Scott of The New York Times criticized the film's reliance on other films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, saying, "Considered alone, as a single film, almost 2 hours-40 minutes, Avengers : Infinity War very unreasonable ", but acknowledged that it was" never intended to be seen or judged in isolation ". Richard Brody of The New Yorker agreed, stating, "The inappropriateness of the film is not due to the infinite but fragile limits of CGI attracting attention but, conversely, for the drama spread throughout the many cinematic installations arranged in Marvel Cinematic Universe. "Stephanie Zacharek of Time said," [It] is not really the beginning, but more than the middle or end with a new piece of thread attached.You must have seen and internalized every 18 Marvel movies Cinematic Universe before to fully acquire it. "Justin Chang of Los Angeles Times called it" a quick, encouraging, sometimes festive and brave-time continuation of the saga that eventually and seems to go to the end, "but called as his last offer for catharsis "unsuccessful", says, "Even the threat of universal annihilation, it would seem, would keep this assembly line from downing forward with t your hands, mechanical efficiency. " Scott also criticized the series of actions, calling them "boring and predictable" and writing, "The noisy and swollen battle spectacles must be the most expensive part of the film, but the money seems less like an imaginative tool than a substitute for the original imagination." Likewise, Zacharek said, "There is no pacing in Avengers: Infinity War." It's all sensation and pulse. Everything is great, all the time. "
