"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.

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.
