They filmed various scenes to perfectly match the trailer, except that the props they used were more on the budget-friendly side. A good example would be their stand-in for Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson).

The whole two-minute-something clip was shot over the course of one week, said Aiman Sany (@awesomerawks) in one of the comments.
As of this writing, the video has been viewed over 2.8 million times while gathering over 77,000 retweets and almost 120,000 likes.
One netizen said the boys should get free tickets to “Infinity War” for the hilarity of their do-it-yourself trailer. Whether these Malaysian boys will get free passes or not, they can rest easy because their low-budget work has earned the thumbs up and laughter of Marvel fans. /ra
