With the release of the new Avengers: Age of Ultron trailer (see "New 'Age of Ultron' Trailer"), AMC and Regal Cinemas  announced they will be offering Marvel fans the ultimate movie marathon: all 11 Marvel Cinematic Universe films  back to back, culminating in the Thursday night premiere of Avengers: Age of Ultron.

When The Avengers premiered in 2012, there was a similar marathon which sold out in several theaters, though that showing only involved five films (see "'Avengers' Tracking For Big Opening").  This mega-marathon begins at 6 PM on April 29th, with Iron Man and culminates with a 7 PM Avengers Age of Ultron showing on April 30th.

  • 6:00 p.m. - Iron Man
