Avengers 4 trailer release date BAD NEWS: Watch Joe Russo reveal runtime PLUS title tease

One half of the directing duo just gave a major new interview. Joe Russo was actually promoting his new bar Duello in Downtown Los Angeles, and wisely knows that the thing most guaranteed to get good coverage is Avengers 4. He answered a range of fan questions and gave some very clear and detailed answers. Until now, the general consensus has been that the first Infinity War sequel teaser or trailer will arrive some time later this month. Suddenly that no longer seems certain at all.

MCUCosmic posted the video (watch it below) where Russo was asked point blank when the trailer will be released and answered: “You may or may not see it before calendar turns 2019.”

This raises two major points. Firstly, Marvel boss Kevin Feige already said it would drop late in 2019. So fans could cling to the hope that the trailer may just come a little later than expected in December.

However, the second issue arose when Russo also revealed that they were barely half-way through editing the film and had barely scratched the surface of more than 3,000 SFX shots. This means they may not have the footage ready yet to cut a trailer.

He also confirmed the current mammoth running time of the film and teased the title.

Russo said: “The running time for Avengers 4 is currently sitting right at three hours. So we’ll see if that holds but we’re sitting at three hours now.

We are half way through the editing process. There are more than 3,00 effects shots. Those require a lot of time, thought, energy and effort. We’ve just started working with (composer) Alan Sylvester on the score.”

And to finish, the big Avengers 4 title question was asked and Russo said: “Well, alright the next movie’s called Avengers…”

The screen suddenly cut out before showing Russo again. He tried one more time: “So we’re going live again so we can rectify that. Actually the official title for Avengers 4 is…”

Surprise, surprise the screen cut again and it’s the end of the video.

Fans would never have expected a title reveal to be delievered this way anyway, but the news about the potentially longest running time ever, even though some cuts will inevitably be made, will certainly please everyone.

Unfortunately now everyone will be worrying there might be no trailer at all until 2019…
