The new record may have been even higher had there not been a glitch, which redirected fans who wanted to see the "Avengers: Endgame" trailer to a site for the "Once Upon a Deadpool" teaser, which opens later this month.
The new "Avengers" trailer begins with Iron Man/Tony Stark Robert Downey Jr. trying to send a message to his girlfriend Pepper Potts as he floats to his death in space, while his superhero colleagues Captain America, The Hulk, and Black Widow plot to repair the devastation caused by Thanos in "Avengers: Infinity War", wiping out half the world's living creatures, including several Avengers.
