Avengers: Endgame -- First Poster Features The New Release Date

After months of build-up and speculation, the title of next year's follow-up to Avengers: Infinity War has been revealed. The movie is titled Avengers: Endgame and the first trailer is with us. Now the first poster has also been released.

The poster is simple yet highly effective--it's simply a giant 'A' with the words 'Endgame' set inside. The big addition is that the logo is slowly disappearing in exactly the same way that the many victims of Thanos' snap did at the end of Infinity War. Check it out below:

This latest poster follows a similar design as the posters for the previous Avengers movies, which also include The Avengers (2012) and Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015). We're certain to get a poster featuring the characters from the film nearer to release date, but this one is a striking way to set the tone for the movie.

Avengers: Endgame releases on April 26, 2019, and is directed once more by Joe and Anthony Russo. Virtually all the major actors from the MCU are set to return, so that means Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Benedict Cumberbatch, Mark Ruffalo, Elizabeth Olsen, Sebastian Stan, Scarlett Johansson, and so on. It had been rumored that this might be the last Marvel movie for some of the MCU's longest-running stars--in particular Evans--but nothing has been confirmed about their future in the franchise.

In related news, the second trailer for Captain Marvel was also released this week. This is the first MCU movie to arrive in 2019, and it releases on March 8. It stars Brie Larson, Samuel L. Jackson, and Jude Law, and is the first Marvel movie with a female superhero as the central character.
