Audi e-tron, Captain Marvel in Avengers: Endgame ad

Doubtless many of you will be lining up to catch Avengers: Endgame, arriving in cinemas April 24. As the final instalment of the Avengers saga, it’s bound to stir up a whirlwind of emotions, but thankfully there’s still room for a few laughs – as this Audi ad for the film shows.

The video stars the latest addition to the Avengers team, Captain Marvel, decades after she made her onscreen debut in her eponymous film. Here, Carol Danvers – played by Brie Larson – is briefed on the situation on planet Earth in the years following her disappearance, including the remaining Avengers, the “war” on gluten and even the trend of posting your food on social media before eating it.

Danvers is then brought to see one of the Avengers’ fleet vehicles, the all-electric Audi e-tron. Before taking it out for a spin, the car needs to be charged – or so her minder thought. With a quick jolt of power from Danvers’ hand, the SUV is brought to full capacity, and she immediately goes on a drive with her cat, Goose.

The e-tron is Ingolstadt’s first production electric vehicle, powered by twin motors developing a total system output of 355 hp and 561 Nm of torque. These motors are juiced by a 95 kWh battery that provide a quoted range of over 400 km, and while you won’t achieve a full charge anywhere near as quick as Danvers, a 150 kW fast charging station will net you 80% charge in just 30 minutes.

It’s not just the e-tron that will be making an appearance on the big screen next week – Endgame will also showcase the e-tron GT concept as part of Audi’s longstanding partnership with Marvel Studios.
