BREAKING: “Infinity War” Release Bumped Up to Reduce Spoilers

March 1, 2018

Previously announced for May 4^th, the global release for the upcoming Marvel film Avengers: Infinity War is now set for April 27^th, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Infinity War: Early Strike

In the past, Marvel has staggered their film releases. A movie releases in the EU and other locations almost a week before the North American premiere. The lag, however, has led to early spoilers for North American viewers. New characters, plot twists, and, typically, a clip or two of the “post-credits” scenes make their way online before the movie comes out.

Fans are not always to blame for spoiling/leaking Avengers info, either. Both Mark Ruffalo and Tom Holland have reputations for revealing set secrets long before Marvel makes them public.

In their first ten years, Marvel movies cornered popular release dates, typically during the summer season or holidays. Infinity War is part of the MCU’s “Phase Three”, which began with Captain America: Civil War and will end with Avengers 4 (currently untitled).

Infinity War is the next Marvel film after their current record-breaking Black Panther. It is also the third installment in the Avengers series, following 2012’s The Avengers and 2015’s Age of Ultron.

Infinity War: Never-Ending Credits

Directed by brothers Joe and Anthony Russo, Infinity War is based on Marvel Comics. The cast includes Chris Evans, Sebastian Stan, Scarlett Johannson, Chadwick Boseman, Letitia Wright, Lupita Nyong’o, Chris Pratt, Karen Gillan, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Bradley Cooper, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Tessa Thompson, Tom Hiddleston, Tom Holland, Robert Downey Jr. Paul Rudd, and Benedict Cumberbatch. The massive team of heroes is up against intergalactic baddie Thanos (Josh Brolin).

Thanos has created the infinity gauntlet using infinity stones collected from across the galaxy. The now-splintered and scattered Avengers must join forces to defeat Thanos before an intergalactic war breaks out.

Originally set for May 4^th in North America, Avengers: Infinity War now has a global premiere on April 27^th.
