I noticed the marketing seems to be focusing a lot of Yelena, so now I'm wondering if the movie actually focuses on her that much, or if that was just a marketing choice because she's a popular character and actress.

She may well get more screentime than the others like John Walker/ US Agent or Ghost, who let's be frank are at this point 2nd tier and there to fill out the team some more. The movie will be carried by Pugh, Harbor and Stan and depending on the writing the others may increase in popularity.

Movies are a business first so the ad campaign will focus on the more established stars to get more attention.
 
The ASCII asterisk is 5-pointed: * So I guess it's become standard now. (Even though my desktop keyboard has a 6-pointed one over the 8 key.)
All the posters and previous trailers have used the 6 pointed one. That was my point.
Edit: Or wait, hm some have used the 5

Interesting, it's not consistent.

I had been expecting it to be a more evenly split ensemble, but I guess it makes more sense for them to possibly focus on the more popular characters or actors.
 
Along with this final trailer, I find myself wondering and hoping that some of these killer song choices are included in the film. I know it's a long shot but I really do want to hear "Possum Kingdom," "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now," "Opr," and especially "Under Pressure" (aka the greatest song duet ever, fight me) as part of the film's soundtrack.

Our first look at Julia Garner's Shalla-Bal is glorious. Plus more glimpses of shrunken large Galactus!
 
Our first real taste of Johnny too. And he is PERFECT. More of this and he's going to be amazing.

Vanessa Kirby has already sold me on her Sue. Pedro Pascal's Reed remains the mystery. We get a little bit of him here, but it's hard to get a read on how they're approaching him from such a small sample.

Overall, this looks fun and weird, which is exactly what I want from F4. Here's hoping they stick the landing!
 
Okay, that looks pretty good so far. Kirby seems just right as Sue, and Johnny seems less annoying than some past versions. The worldbuilding looks fairly fun. Some of the CGI in the trailer looks too weightless/inertialess, though, like when Ben picks up the car, and that final shot. Hopefully things will be tweaked by the time the movie comes out.

I get the feeling that the movie will end with their Earth and possibly entire universe destroyed, this is what forces them to go to the MCU. RDJ's Doom will probably be from their universe as well and rightfully blame Richards for dooming his world and likely about to doom the MCU. Which will lead to Doomsday and Secret Wars with Dr Doom trying to save the multiverse and bring back his world.

Watered down Johnny is my biggest concern. The rest seems fine. Chris Evans perfected the role and he will be hard to top.
 
Whenever they have a shot from the side of someone/something massive walking down the street like that I can't help but think, "Damn, how wide is that street to allow them to walk without hitting buildings on both sides?" ;)
