I haven’t seen it mentioned, so I will. I’ve read that tickets will go on sale on the second of April. ---

> [@Omniscient](#): > > None of those would work. Especially Strange…the movies and comics aren’t called “Sorcerer Supreme” they are called “Dr. Strange” after Steven Strange, who is Busterbritches Crinklepants in the MCU… I’m not sure why you appear to be operating from a premise which presupposes that MCU Phase IV and beyond will continue Iron Man, Captain America and/or Thor as separate movie franchises _at all_? I am personally expecting that, starting with Phase IV, The Avengers will consist of: [ul] [li]Captain Marvel[/li][li]Black Panther[/li][li]Scarlet Witch[/li][li]War Machine[/li][li]Ant-Man (and the Wasp?)[/li][li]Winter Soldier[/li][/ul]… And the standalone movie franchises will be [ul] [li]Captain Marvel[/li][li]Black Panther[/li][li]Spider-Man (for however much longer they continue to hold/share his rights)[/li][li]Ant-Man and the Wasp[/li][li]Doctor Strange[/li][li]Guardians of the Galaxy[/li][/ul] Marvel has announced _Eternals_ for Phase IV, but I don’t know whether that is going to be a franchise, or simply a gateway into the larger Marvel Cosmic. I also think that Winter Soldier and War Machine are going to be the spiritual successors to the legacies of Captain American and Iron Man, respectively, but that there won’t be any further standalone movies for either character, so I’m not sure why you think that Beta Ray Thor or another Captain America couldn’t work. Personally, I’d like to see them give the shield to Sam. ---

> [@Omniscient](#): > > GotG3 could be where they introduce Adam Warlock and continue the battle with the Sovereign and end with them getting the Asgardian’s distress signal. I’m not seeing it. The original Adam Warlock storyline way back when was an enormous thing where he ended up crucified - literally - as a sacrifice to save the world. If Eternals is up, it’d be a good hook to make Adam Warlock a key part of the next big arc with that approach. ---

I think Thor will get at least one more movie. Ragnarok and Infinity War really revived interest in him. ---

It took a while as the Cinemark website was very slow. Clearly many people are trying to buy tickets all at once. ---

Just got tickets! Wanted 7 PM but there was a queue (which I’ve never seen before on Fandango)… I’m staying in the queue, but I also bought 9 PM tickets at a different theater as a backup (Fandango has easy returns). ---

I got tickets for Sunday morning which is the same slot where we saw the last film. A couple days later but we’ve got choice reserved seats right in the center. ---

Wednesday, 24th April at 11:45AM local. Assuming it finishes at about 3:15PM local, that’ll be 1:15 AM, US Eastern time, on the 24th. Front row center, Gold Class seats. ---

Using A_List, I’ve reserved tickets for 3 showings so far: Thursday the 25th at 6:15pm (in 3D), Thursday the 25th at 10:30pm (in 2D), and Friday the 26th at 3:00pm (in 3D IMAX). I would have reserved more but A_List only lets you make 3 reservations in advance. I will end up cancelling that 6:15 if I do the marathon at AMC, because that includes a showing of Endgame, that I think is an hour or so earlier. I won’t know until a couple of days before the marathon on the 23rd if I’ll be able to do it, but I’m planning on it. I just don’t want to cancel my reservation until I know for sure. I’m excited! ---

> [@borschevsky](#): > > There’s a new one-minute “special look” trailer out, made up mostly of new scenes: > > [Here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCSNFZKbhZE) I assume that whole “let’s go fight Thanos again” part is the first act, and given the noticeable absences from the matching suits group shot (Thor and Captain Marvel) my guess is the heroes get rickity wrecked again and probably take some casualties.
