Tony's in Wakanda! He's snarking with Star Lord! Which means snarking with Rocket.
Worth the price of admission right there.

Yeah, but. I think Tony and Steve are going to die. My brother thinks Rocket is going to die. I need to brace myself.

But Tony in Wakanda means Shuri gets to school him on science and tech, so yay!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Okay, I kind of love the new trailer. The first one was too "HERE ARE ALL THE CHARACTERS WE DON'T HAVE TIME TO EXPLAIN WHAT THEY'RE DOING HOLY SHIT THERE ARE A LOT OF THEM AREN'T THERE."
I didn't see the Deek thing until the show explained it either, but I'll admit I was only half paying attention.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
We should probably start a deadpool about which characters are going to die.
Although if it's anything like the comics, a bunch of characters killed off in this movie will be resurrected in next year's sequel.

Tom, my brother said the same thing as your whitefont. But the MCU is getting bloated, so it wouldn't be the worst thing for some characters to die. (Okay, yes, it would suck.)
My money's on Tony and Steve.
We know there's going to be another Spidey movie and another Black Panther movie, so Peter and T'Challa are safe.
Can Bruce even die? I feel like the first Avengers movie established that he couldn't, but maybe the Infinity Gauntlet is a special case.

My money's on half the cast being portaled to a pocket universe / alternate dimension where they don't get to be in movies for a while, but aren't dead just in case Marvel wants them back later.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
The Hulk has been knocked out twice (by a 5-mile fall in The Avengers and by a sucker punch from the Hulkbuster armor in Age of Ultron), bled thanks to a bite from the Fenris Wolf, and it looked like Thor was going to KO him in Ragnarok until the Grandmaster intervened. It certainly appears possible that he could be destroyed by sufficient force, although the threshold for doing so is admittedly very high. I'd say anyone who could effectively use an Infinity Stone would qualify, and Thanos will presumably get his hands on all six.

I'm really hoping Tony sees her lab and is properly appreciative, though with the occasional "You could tweak the parameters on that a little with this nifty trick" but with a big grin of "this is so neat." And maybe Shuri seeing the Iron Man armor and hiding her appreciation with "Please, I can hide one of those in a necklace."
You know, she may actually help him create that nanobot armor, and if he's willing to let her help him with the suit, I don't think he's too annoyed.
