No less than 35 Avengers characters are featured in Vanity Fair's newly-published official Phase 4 plans.
In addition to Tony Stark/Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Infinity War will feature Earth-based MCU characters like Steve Rogers/Captain America (Chris Evans), Clint Barton/Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner), Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), and Bruce Banner/Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), among many, many others. They will be ed in their latest and biggest fight yet by Thor Odinson (Chris Hemsworth) and the entire Guardians of the Galaxy team, including new addition Mantis (Pom Klementieff), Gamora's fellow daughter of Thanos, Nebula (Karen Gillan), and even teenaged Groot. Naturally, all of these characters made the cut for Vanity Fair's Infinity War photo portfolio and cover story, along with several other familiar MCU faces.

It's worth noting that Natasha Romanoff has the same blonde hair in these Vanity Fair photos like she does in it will appear in Infinity War.
There aren't too many surprises in these Vanity Fair photos, all things considered. Characters like Wong (B.D. Wong) have both been confirmed to appear in Infinity War for awhile now, so their inclusion here only makes sense. The appearance of minor characters like Laura Barton (Linda Cardellini), aka. Mrs. Hawkeye, in these photos is less expected, but it's only fitting that they would appear in the film at some point. Their inclusion here isn't necessarily a testament to the size of their role in the movie either, seeing as Stan 'The Man' Lee made the cut here and isn't expected to make more than his customary brief cameo in Infinity War itself.
Marketing for Avengers: Infinity War, which is being co-directed by Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Civil War helmers Joe and Anthony Russo, is only getting started and Vanity Fair is already teasing that more Infinity War-related goodness will be arriving later this week. It's expected that this first wave of serious promotion for the film will culminate with the release of the Infinity War trailer online, before it begins screening in theaters this December. So stay tuned for much, much more!
