The Vision and Shuri
Letitia Wright's genius young Wakandan research and development chief would no doubt be fascinated by Paul Bettany's synthezoid, a living thing brought to life through magic, science, and Vibranium.

Mantis and Winter Soldier
Sebastian Stan's rehabilitated assassin now goes by White Wolf. It's intriguing to see a man whose memories were scrambled, wiped, and rebuilt paired with Pom Klementieff's alien mind-reader.

War Machine and Drax the Destroyer
Don Cheadle's Col. James "Rhodey" Rhodes was paralyzed in Civil War, but he's back in the iron suit now — paired with Dave Bautista's Drax, another stoic type who has lived with loss.

Black Widow
Her ledger is ... complicated. Still haunted by her past, her loyalties are no longer to a country or a cause, but to her friends. Scarlett Johansson's hero brandishes electrified batons that can be connected into one staff.

Captain America
It's been a long road for Chris Evans' do-gooder. Now wearing Vibranium shield gauntlets given to him by Black Panther, his suit shows signs of the wear and tear from being a fugitive from the homeland he once fought to protect.

Falcon and Gamora
Anthony Mackie's aeronaut and Zoe Saldana's alien assassin have more in common than you'd think. Both were trained as soldiers from a young age, both are skeptical of newcomers, and both are now making their own choices about what to fight for.
