‘Avengers: Infinity Wars’ Will Be Released One Week Earlier Than Expected

Marvel Studios will release The Avengers: Infinity Wars on April 27 — a week earlier than its previously announced release date of May 4.

Marvel announced the new date via Twitter banter with Robert Downey Jr., who plays Tony Stark/Iron Man in the film. The Marvel Studios Twitter account posted a promotional announcement about the original release date. Downey Jr. then tweeted the Marvel Studios account back, asking if there was any chance he could see the movie earlier.

“Anything for you, Mr. Stark! How’s April 27th?” Marvel Studios tweeted.

“Great. With friends?” Downey Jr. tweeted back, to which Marvel replied, “You mean these friends?” and tagged Chris Evans, Chadwick Boseman, Danai Gurira, Mark Ruffalo, Don Cheadle and Anthony Mackie, who also star in Avengers: Infinity Wars. Downey Jr. then asked if the whole world could watch it earlier.

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

Fans began expressing their excitement by replying to the Twitter thread.

“Oh no,” one fan tweeted, attaching a GIF from The Office.
