Marvel fans are losing their stuff after the Avengers Endgame trailer debuted on Tuesday, April 2, 2019. The 2-minute video didn’t show many of the superheroes but gave fans just enough of the plot to spark a frenzy.
“Endgame” is slated to be released in U.S. theaters on April 26.
The new trailer comes on the heels of the success of Marvel’s Captain America. Unlike much of Avengers 4, which had key scenes shot in metro Atlanta, Captain America was filmed in London, Manchester, Caerwent, and Liverpool in the United Kingdom, and Los Angeles.
Where was Avengers 4 filmed?
Filming for Avengers 4 began in August 2017 at Pinewood Studios in Fayetteville. The Atlanta area has been embraced by Marvel producers as an affordable place to shot and do post-production on the Avenger movies, including some of their individual superhero movies such as Ant-Man.
So far, three Avengers films have been shot in ATL with one slated for release in 2019.
The Captain Marvel trailer debuted during halftime of the Washington Redskins-Philadelphia Eagles game, which starts at 8:15 p.m. ET on ESPN.
