The video shows many emotional moments, such as Tony Stark seeing Peter Parker again after 5 years due to the snap. It also shows Chadwick Boseman, recently deceased, with the famous “Wakanda Forever” line.

Along with the fond memories came sparks of sadness, at the end of the Iron Man era. Clips of fans reacting to Avengers: Endgame on opening night were shown, along with the death of Tony Stark. This paired with the voiceover from Stan Lee was very emotional to many.
And while remembering the past, we must move on to the future.
The preview then transitions to teasers for upcoming movies such as Black Widow, Shang-Chi and Eternals. It reminds us that while the past will be here forever, there is more to the future than we can imagine.
