Marvel has moved the "Avengers: Infinity War" U.S. release date up a week to April 27 from the original date of May 4 to avoid spoilers that might occur from other countries releasing the film on the earlier date.
Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige said earlier that the film will have important plot developments in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, to the extent that the title for the fourth "Avengers" movie has not been released to avoid spoilers.
“Infinity War” unites the Avengers (Iron Man, Black Panther, Thor, Captain America, Black Widow, and The Hulk, and others) with the cast of “Guardians of the Galaxy” as they try to stop intergalactic villain Thanos from destroying the universe.
The opening follows February’s release of “Black Panther,” which has made nearly $800 million in its first few weeks of release. Following close on the heels of the latest "Avengers" installment will be "Deadpool 2" on May 18 and "Ant-Man and the Wasp" on July 6.
Previous Marvel movies that released in early May in the U.S. have opened earlier overseas.
Marvel Studios made the moved-up release date announcement on Thursday with a series of tweets featuring Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark/Iron Man.
