One of the most highly anticipated movies of all-time has got to be, without a doubt, directors Anthony and Joe Russo’s Avengers: Endgame. We talk about this movie all the time here at MovieWeb and today we finally have confirmation on just when the hell you can snag your advanced tickets to the film. And that date is… wait for it… April 2nd!
I was never the world’s biggest Marvel movie fan before Avengers Infinity War but that awesome flick even converted this rabid horror movie fan into the Marvel Universe. Big time. Now I join the rest of the world in wondering just how the hell Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, and Captain America plan to beat the seemingly indestructible mad titan Thanos. I have no idea how they even intend to insult the man this time around, let alone wipe him off the face of the universe. But you can be damn sure I will be there opening night to find out. Bring it on, I say!
This new entry will follow the remaining Avengers on Earth — Thor, Black Widow, Captain America, and Bruce Banner — as they try to figure out a way to bring back their vanquished allies for an epic showdown with Thanos. Oh, and to make matters more stressful, stoic old Tony Stark is stuck out in the middle of space with nothing but his helmet and the memory of Pepper Potts to keep him company. Will Iron Man run out of oxygen and bite the big one before the other Avengers even figure out the man is still alive? I guess we’ll see sooner rather than later.
