GOOD GUY KILLMONGER: Remember how Tony Stark ended up in terrorist-controlled Afghan caves in the first Iron Man movie? Well, that never happens here as Killmonger helps Stark survive the ambush on the convoy and takes him to safety. (YouTube screengrab)

PEPPER POTS IN WAKANDA: We see a young Shuri and her mother fighting their way out of what seems to be a tight situation. We see Pepper alongside Wakanda's royal guards in this sequence which gives us further clues of Killmonger and Tony's destination. (YouTube screengrab)

PEGGY CARTER IS CAPTAIN BRITAIN: Seems like the super-soldier serum never went inside Steve Rogers body and was injected on Peggy instead! A deserving candidate, Peggy is seen fighting her heart out and even seen riding an iron suite -- which fans believe is an erstwhile version of Iron Man with Steve himself inside! That's right, the Brooklyn lad is (possibly) his lover's trusted sidekick in this version! (YouTube screengrab)

T'CHALLA IS STARLORD: Seems like Yondu didn't abduct young Peter Quill. Instead, he kidnapped the crown price of Wakanda and made him his apprentice and a member of the 'Ravagers'. T'Challa is seen in multiple scenes donning Star-Lord's space gear and fighting alongside his trainer. Interesting isn't it!

KILLMONGER IN WAKANDA: T'Challa's absence explains this. Killmonger is seen fighting alongside Wakandan forces in many shots. It is likely that his father never left his homeland and Killmonger was brought up within the kingdom. Is the super-assassin finally getting a shot to sit on the throne and become Black Panther? Only time will tell... (YouTube screengrab)

MARVEL ZOMBIES: Seems like MCU has finally decided to give the walking dead concept a go. The comics in 'Marvel Zombies' timeline was written by the creator of 'The Walking Dead' Robert Kirkman where many superheroes fall prey to a virus outbreak and try to eat everyone on earth. The trailer shows Captain Rogers and Stark himself as zombies. That's gonna be harsh on some fans. (YouTube screengrab)

VISION REMOVES MIND STONE HIMSELF: We hear voiceover referring to the infinity stones, suggesting they are still part of the plot. But what forces the hero to tear out the stone from his head? (YouTube screengrab)

HOWARD THE DUCK IS HERE: After making a cameo appearance in 'Endgame', it seems like Marvel's anthropomorphic duck trapped on a human-dominated Earth is back for more. (YouTube screengrab)

PARTY THOR: The macho God of Thunder has not always been the fierce, just Asgardian in the comics. 'Party Thor' is a different version of the hero, who takes life as it comes and likes to chill. We see him wiedling the Mjolnir (still) while taking the war to what seems to be Ultron's army. (YouTube screengrab)

GUARDIANS OF THE MULTIVERSE/AVENGERS: As the voice over goes, 'Time... relaity... it's changeable...', we get to see the classic unting scene from the first 'Avengers' movie, only to proceed to a very similar panning shot from a similar situation involving Star-Lord (T'Challa, not Quill), Black Panther (Killmonger?), Thor and Gamora in a Thanos attire!
