“We are in the endgame now” are probably words you've heard a lately, after Avengers: Infinity War left us with an incredible cliff hanger and many of our favorite heroes were snapped out of existence. How will this change? Well that's where the Avenger: Endgame comes in. The epic Marvel movie came out on April 26th and was an immediate hit: both with critics and the viewing public.
The film's first weekend sales were more than any other movie ever: grossing $357 million! Avengers: Endgame is already the second highest grossing movie of all time (global box office), behind only Avatar. Endgame, however, has only just begun its money-making: it reached $2 billion dollars in sales in only eleven days!!
Avengers: Endgame is so popular, the directors placed a two week ban on spoilers. This ban was recently lifted, so fans have taken the chance to speak out. This movie is being talked talked about everywhere, and the hype reached even more of a high after the recent release of the trailer for Spiderman: Homecoming. At this point, if you haven't seen - or at least heard major talk of - Endgame, you've been hiding under a rock! It will soon be the highest grossing movie ever by a long shot if it continues at the expected pace.
Critics are raving about Endgame, and about how well the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been put together over the past decade. Twenty two movies have been made so far, capped off by Endgame, which begins "Phase 4" for the MCU films. “The amount of detail the writers took to build this whole timeline is astonishing” one critic said, and I agree! There are few film franchises that have been able to build something that even comes close to what the creative writers of Marvel Studios have put together - and they're still going strong!!
