1. Antman does not travel backwards in time. The biggest loser on Sunday was not the St. Louis Rams, it was all the people who advocated the theory that Antman was going to travel backwards in time. The theory that Antman traveled back to 1983 using a time vortex in the quantum realm has been 100% debunked. This was a topic of debate after the first trailer dropped back in December. That clip showed Scott Lang outside Avengers HQ with the van from the Antman and the Wasp post credit scene. Some people thought that there was the message archive 1983 in the corner of the video.
The new trailer clearly shows Antman standing next to War Machine at the HQ in present day. Scott is going to find a way out of the quantum realm and then make his way to upstate New York in the van from the rooftop.
2. Antman and War Machine seem ready to fight inside Avengers HQ. They appear to be inside a conference room or office and activate their suits while staring at something off to the side. It does beg the question of why they are even suited up inside an office space, much less why they simultaneously turn their masks on. It's possible that Bruce Banner is having some form of Hulk moment.
3. Thor and Dear Rabbit make a side trip after Wakanda. Thor and Rocket are in Wakanda with the rest of the team at the end of Infinity War and this trailer shows them in different locations. We know they'll end up at Avengers HQ eventually but where they journey off to before is up for speculation. We see Thor in some weird structure over looking a hillside that's probably in Wakanda from the back of a Wakandan ship as he departs. Some have suggested that it could potentially be the location Thanos's log cabin. Hawkeye is also in a cave so the two shots may be related.
Rocket is at some cabin as well and there is clearly an ocean behind them. Again this could be Wakanda, since both Thor and Rocket were with the rest of the surviving Avengers. Maybe they all go back to upstate New York at the same time or they all go on separate journeys for an undetermined purpose. Now, it would make sense that Thor would immediately abandon the team to search for Thanos throughout the cosmos. The Lord of Thunder leaves the team in previous movies. Thor has a predisposition to leaving for side missions. It's safe to assume that they aren't with the rest of the team the whole time.
4. Aircraft/Spaceship will land on Avengers HQ front lawn.
There is a shot of Steve Rogers, Bruce Banner, Black Widow and War Machine out on the front lawn of Avengers HQ. This could be the moment when Tony Stark, Nebula, and Captain Marvel arrive back on Earth. We do see a shot of Tony and Nebula on board the Guardians ship repairing some machinery. It's safe to say that this not Hawkeye returning since we see him and Black Widow in what looks like Japan in the first trailer. If Thor and Rocket go on a separate mission to find someone or do something after Wakanda, this could be the moment when they return.
Some have also suggested that the awkward spacing between characters in the lawn photo above suggests that someone has been CGI'd out of the picture. That's entirely possible. Some have suggested that Captain Marvel was cut out of this shot, however I do think it's more likely that she is one of the people arriving. We expect she's going to save Tony and Nebula, so all three of them should arrive at the same time.
5. New York appears abandoned in a dystopian state.
Thanos would have had us believe that killing half of life on Earth was going to solve all our problems and turn the planet into a paradise. Based on what we have seen from this trailer, it's apocalyptic, at least New York anyway. Granted, it may take time for the potential benefits of the killing half the population to take effect. In this moment, the world appears to have descended into chaos. If there was large scale rioting following the snap, people might have fled the city. Here there are a whole bunch of boats docked around the Statue of Liberty, which people may have done to flee the chaos on the mainland.
