Someone has decided to do a mashup of two of the biggest sequels of the year and the results are pretty outstanding.Avengers: Endgamerecently hit home video andIT Chapter Twois set to arrive in theaters next month. Other than being highly-anticipated follow-ups, the movies, on paper, are radically different. However, this remixed trailer shows thatAvengers: Endgamecould have been rather convincingly marketed as a horror movie, had Marvel chose to go that route.
The trailer kicks off with the gang in disarray following their first encounter with Thanos, who essentially is turned into Pennywise for the sake of presenting the narrative in this way. We then move onto getting the Avengers back together, which is sort of like The Losers Club re-assembling all those years later inIT Chapter Two. Once it gets to the meat of things, it’s much less about action and it’s more about overcoming fear in having to try and stop the Mad Titan once and for all.
What’s amazing is how much actual, horrific tension is built into the trailer as presented. The video utilizes quite a bit of the score from IT, which gives it a very different feel, to be sure. To presentAvengers: Endgameas a horror sequel, a lot of footage that wasn’t unveiled until the movie hit theaters was also utilized, and it’s hard to imagine pulling this off without it. Butnow that the sequel is available for everyone to watchover and over again from the comfort of their couch, we’re sure to get more interesting takes on the material in the days and weeks to come.
Avengers: Endgamewas burdened with great expectations ahead of its release earlier this year, much likeIT Chapter Twohas now as horror fans await theconclusion of the Stephen King adaptation. For the former movie, things worked out about as good as anyone could have possibly hoped for. Directors Joe Russo and Anthony Russo delivered a sequel toinfinity Warthat managed to satisfy both critics and fans alike, while also finding an unprecedented amount of commercial success, to the tune of $2.79 billion worldwide. That makes it the highest-grossing movie of all time, overtaking James Cameron’sAvatar.
On that note, the firstIT was a massive critical successthat wound up grossing $700 million worldwide, becoming the highest-grossing horror movie of all time. That has placed tremendous pressure on returning director Andy Muschietti to deliver a satisfying conclusion to his epic tale inIT Chapter Two, which arrives in theaters on September 6. Maybe once that movie comes out someone can do a remixed trailer, making it look like The Losers Club and Pennywise are getting ready to mix it upAvengers: Endgamestyle?
