A man ahead of his time, Cyrano de Bergerac (Peter Dinklage) dazzles whether with ferocious wordplay at a verbal joust or with brilliant swordplay in a duel. But, convinced that his appearance renders him unworthy of the love of a devoted friend, the luminous Roxanne (Haley Bennett), Cyrano has yet to declare his feelings for her — and Roxanne has fallen in love, at first sight, with Christian (Kelvin Harrison, Jr.).

We see Fury’s pager on some platform with the Captain Marvel symbol flashing. Then we cut to Captain America with a beard watching “missing” reports (as a result of the decimation) with Black Widow, he says what’s happened is like a nightmare, to which Black Widow says that she’s had better nightmares. James Rhodes comes in says that the thing (pager) has stopped flashing. They all gather around the pager, Rhodey says that it just stopped, Captain America says to reboot it and try again, Rhodey replies that they didn’t know what it did in the first place. Black Widow says that Fury knew what it did and they should just try again. The camera pans and we see Captain Marvel behind her asking: “Where’s Fury”. Also, near the end we see the text: Captain Marvel will return in Avengers: Endgame

In the year 2045, the real world is a harsh place. The only time Wade Watts (Tye Sheridan) truly feels alive is when he escapes to the OASIS, an immersive virtual universe where most of humanity spend their days. In the OASIS, you can go anywhere, do anything, be anyone—the only limits are your own imagination. The OASIS was created by the brilliant and eccentric James Halliday (Mark Rylance), who left his immense fortune and total control of the OASIS to the winner of a three-part contest he designed to find a worthy heir. When Wade conquers the first challenge of the reality-bending treasure hunt, he and his friends—known as the High Five—are hurled into a fantastical universe of discovery and danger to save the OASIS and their world.
