Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and Captain America (Chris Evans) join forces in Marvel's 'The Avengers.'

"Part of the journey is the end."

Dr. Tony Stark's bleak words open the new trailer for "Avengers: Endgame," the fourth and final Avengers installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe's 22-film collection, set for release on April 26.

It's a stark beginning, so to speak, as the erstwhile Ironman — his disabled craft drifting through space, out of water and low on oxygen — tries to message his assistant Pepper Potts.

One taught me love,
One taught me patience,
One taught me pain,
and one taught me that Marvel won't give Tony Stark a break. #AvengersEndgame pic.twitter.com/5yIFuLDt2V

Cut to Steve Rogers with tears running down his face.

Cut to Thor, hanging his head and saying, "We lost."

But did they? Not if Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow has anything to say about it. Or Paul Rudd's Ant-Man.

In "Avengers: Infinity War," out earlier this year, supervillian Thanos and his forces laid waste to a good portion of the universe.

What happens next?

They also want to know what it all means.

📈An 'endgame' is the final stage of some action or process. #AvengersEndgame https://t.co/LVqqXiV4R3
