Vision can manipulate himself. That's either his new human self appearance to look more human or that's the side effect when the mind stone was ripped out of him.

My theory: Thanos gets all six gems in Infinity War, and scatters the heroes to the wind, killing some in the process.
Ant Man and Wasp is being kept under some tight wraps, so I’ll wager it takes place in the past after Thanos sends those characters into the past, where they’ll rescue Michelle Pfeiffer and figure out a way to return via the quantum realm. This could also explain Captain Marvel taking place in the 80’s, if she gets recruited from the past by Nova Corps to help a threat in Brie Larson’s future.
A:4 is the team regrouping to banish Thanos to his farm, because YOU SHOULD NEVER KILL YOUR BIG BAD.
I’m looking at you, Batman by Tim Burton...

Doesn't the trailer rule out Heimdall as Soul Gem? Thanos would have picked up that gem as well when he wrecks Thor's ship, right?
And yet I don't like Wakanda as the source either. Sure, it would explain why Wakanda was so far along - even a couple geniuses with infinite "lifespans" could get pretty far - but BP telling Iron Man(?) to give Cap back his Shield doesn't really map with Thanos having won by that point in the movie.
Instead, I'll go with Spidey /IM fuck up Thanos' teleportation ring, so he invades Wakanda for the tech to repair it, with the Soul Gem not involved at all. I like the idea of Thanos slowly gaining power as the movie goes along - effortlessly defeating Spidey / Iron Man with just two gems, and having four or so by the end of the movie, wondering how anyone can slow him down....
and then blueball everyone by having AntMan and Captain Marvel take place ~six months earlier / in the quantum realm & decades earlier, respectively. Include the juciest trailers ever cut in front of each of them that just show Thanos wrecking the world / galaxy, and leave us hanging until next year.

Unless they forgot to CG it for that trailer, they definitely need to go back to Thanos having almost glowing blue eyes. Him looking the way he does, with these straight up human looking brown eyes or whatever is very off-putting in that, uhh, pictures of dogs with human teeth sort of way.

I said the same thing a while back. What I'd like to see, since we know he starts off with these eyes, is him slowly gaining the glow for each stone he collects. Then finally, when he has them all, glowing bright white.

Funny you say that, I actually love this look they chose for the trailer. I mean, we've seen him with glowing eyes before so this is either a small retcon or it's an implication that his eyes are only glowing when he means business or they'll use that effect to convey increased power. That said, the "normal" eyes give him a much more readable expression and make him a lot more realistic as opposed to CGI Play-doh bullshit characters like Steppenwolf. The way he looks around with a mix of curiosity and a hint of smugness when he walks out of that rift is awesome in my opinion, and that would not come across quite as nicely with glowy CGI eyes.

It has been mentioned in a few analysis videos I've seen that the eyepatch is pretty much just a CGI filter they apply, so it might literally be as easy as turning off that layer to give him his eye back in the trailers they didn't want to spoil the end of Thor Ragnarok in. If it was that easy, makes sense that they wouldn't show an Infinity War teaser with his eyepatch months before Ragnarok, because everyone would know it is coming then. That's really all it probably was, nothing more devious than that.
