Avengers: Infinity War release date moved up

Marvel Studios, with a little help from Iron Man himself, announced it was moving up the release date of Avengers: Infinity War to April 27. The studio made the announcement on Twitter during an exchange with Robert Downey Jr., who plays Tony Stark, aka Iron Man.

“On a scale of one to infinity, how excited are you to see #InfinityWar on May 4th?” the Marvel Studios account asked.

“Any chance I could see it earlier?” Downey responded.

Marvel then offers to let the actor see the film April 27, but he pressures the company to let the whole world see it that date.

“That’s a FANTASTIC idea! Done,” Marvel Studios tweeted. “Avengers: #InfinityWar in theatres everywhere April 27th.”

Also appearing in the movie are a slew of superhero characters from several Marvel Studios movies, including Black Widow, Hulk, Captain America, Thor, Hawk Eye, Black Panther, Spider-Man, Dr Strange, Star-Lord, Gamora and Rocket.


Ralph breaks the internet!

The first trailer for Disney’s upcoming animated sequel, Ralph Breaks The Internet: Wreck-It Ralph 2, is out. The clip features Ralph (John C. Reilly) and Vanellope (Sarah Silverman) exploring the vast wonders of the internet after a Wi-Fi router is installed into their arcade.

After entering into a digital world that represents cyberspace, Ralph encounters pop-up ads, clickbait articles and an eBay auction for a painting of a kitten. Ralph is also able to enter into a tablet game that involves feeding a cat and a bunny either milkshakes or pancakes. The title character makes the bunny grow to a large size after giving him too much to eat.

Ralph Breaks The Internet: Wreck-It Ralph 2 from directors Rich Moore and Phil Johnston, is set to arrive in theatres on November 21.
