On April 26, arguably the biggest movie of 2019 will be released. I'm talking about Avengers: Endgame, a film that recently topped Fandango's list of most anticipated movies of 2019 (besting Captain Marvel and Star Wars: Episode IX). The movie is so big that we may as well declare April Avengers: Endgame month.
When Avengers: Endgame hits theaters, it'll mark the end of an era. It was over ten years ago when Iron Man kicked off the Marvel Cinematic Universe, paving the road to where we are now. It also began the Thanos storyline as the Mad Titan set out to collect the Infinity Stones.
Here's everything you need to know about Avengers: Endgame.

APRIL 15, 2019 - DEFEAT THANOS WITH NEW AVENGERS: ENDGAME PLAYMOJI
To celebrate the arrival of Avengers: Endgame, Google has introduced new Marvel characters to its collection of Playmoji.
Pixel owners can now have fun with War Machine, Thor, Black Widow, Rocket, and Captain Marvel. Their arrival follows the availability of Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk, Nebula, and Okoye.
Google released a video alongside the new Playmoji, which imagines what "would happen if Pixel 3 was launched into a world in need of a little assistance, alongside the Avengers."
APRIL 11, 2019 - CAPTAIN AMERICA GOES TO SPACE IN NEW AVENGERS: ENDGAME CLIP
Marvel on Thursday dropped a new TV spot for Avengers: Endgame, in which the Avengers assemble for one last fight against Thanos.
In the clip, Captain America can be heard giving a speech about their mission to defeat the Mad Titan. It's one of those inspiring speeches a captain might give before a big game. "Look out for each other," Cap says.
While the clip doesn't reveal much in the way of new footage, it does see Rocket interact with Ant-Man, as well as Cap looking mighty uncomfortable in space.
"This is the fight of our lives," Cap says, before the Avengers all put their hands together as a show of solidarity before their mission.
April 8, 2019 - Avengers: Endgame clip sees Captain Marvel clash with the Avengers
We've been wondering why Carol Danvers (aka Captain Marvel) wasn't around to protect Earth when Thanos began his invasion party. Now, we have an answer.
In a clip unveiled by Good Morning America, we get a more extended look at Captain Marvel interacting with the Avengers. Never one to back down or mince words, she wants to waste no time when it comes to going after Thanos.
When the Avengers see an energy signature that indicates Thanos has once again used the Infinity Stones, the team debates whether or not they should go after him. Bruce Banner and James Rhodes are apprehensive, while Black Widow and Captain Marvel are ready for a fight.
Seemingly frustrated by her gung-ho attitude, Rhodey asks Captain Marvel where she's been all these years.
"There are a lot of other planets in the universe, and unfortunately, they didn't have you guys," Captain Marvel answers.
My question is: Why is Thanos using the Infinity Stones again? I thought he'd be watching sunsets and admiring a grateful universe?
Avengers: Endgame tickets went on sale earlier this week and made one thing abundantly clear: it is going to have a blockbuster movie. It is tracking ahead of almost every other movie, crashing AMC Theaters servers and wrecking Fandango, so you know anticipation is high, but how high is it?
According to The Hollywood Reporter, early tracking for Marvel Studios pegs the opening weekend for Avengers: Endgame somewhere between $200 million and $250 million. That would be a massive top-5 all-time opening. If it came in closer to the high mark, that would make it only the second moving to gross $250 million on a domestic opening weekend.
However, it should be noted that when Avengers: Infinity War was tracked, it was came in around $185 million to $225 million before grossing $257.6 million, the biggest domestic opening of all time. All things even, it sounds as if Avengers: Endgame will top that figure and set a new record. Here's where it would stand on the all-time domestic opening weekend.
- Avengers: Infinity War - $257.6 million
- Star Wars: The Force Awakens - $247.9 million
- Star Wars: The Last Jedi - $220 million
- Jurassic World - $208.8 million
- The Avengers - $207.4 million
This should not come as a surprise. Avengers movies have been setting records since the first one opened in 2012 and that will continue with the next movie when it opens on April 26.
At CinemaCon in Las Vegas this week, Disney shared more footage of Avengers: Endgame behind closed doors. In it, a tense exchange occurs between the Avengers and Captain Marvel—and we finally get an answer as to where she has been all this time.
IGN has the description:
The footage opens mid-scene with Carol Danvers about to walk out on Cap, Banner, Natasha, Thor, Rhodey, Rocket and Nebula. No sign of Tony Stark or Scott Lang here. When asked where she's going, Carol says matter-of-factly, "To kill Thanos."The Avengers tell her they usually work as a team, not that it fazes Carol. Rhodey, mind you, doesn't seem to like Carol -- you'd think he'd be cool with a fellow former USAF officer -- and grills her about where she's been all this time. Carol says there are a lot of planets out there who don't have Avengers to help them. That answer seems to suit Cap fine.Carol says she knows someone who may be able to tell her where Thanos is. But Nebula does one better and says she knows exactly where he is. Nebula recalls how, even when she was disassembled, she wanted to please him. Thanos would explain his plan to her and he would always give the same answer about where he would retire to after it was accomplished.Rocket uses a hologram to show a planet where, two days prior, the same energy signature that was recorded when Thanos used the Infinity Gauntlet on Earth appeared again. That means Thanos has used the Stones again. "So let's use them to bring everyone back," it's brought up during an exchange between Carol and the Avengers.
Some of the Avengers seem apprehensive about going after Thanos, especially after what happened last time, but Captain Marvel assures them that things will be different, because she's around to help this time.
Then, the scene ends with an all-time line from Captain America.
"Let's go get this son of a bitch."
I'm telling you right now, that's going to get a lot of applause during screenings on April 26.
Marvel has released another short trailer for Avengers: Endgame, and it's made up of primarily new footage. But even though the footage is new, it doesn't tell us much. All we know is that the Avengers are assembling to bring the fight to Thanos.
Oh, and Steve Rogers and Tony Stark are once again friends, as Tony asks, "Do you trust me?" Then the two do a Bro Shake and it hits me right in the feels.
The Avengers seems a little desperate and at the wit's end as they struggle with how to move on from Thanos's snap. It would seem they have a solution for how to avenge the fallen, but as Bruce Banner points out, they'd be going in short handed.
"You mean cause he killed all our friends," James "Rhodey" Rhodes retorts.
In case you missed it, tickets are also now available for Avengers: Endgame, but scoop them up quick, because showtimes are selling out.
