Nothing quite ushers in the spring and summer in Atlanta like an evening under the lights at Chastain Park. This week, the musical lineup for the 2018 Delta Series A was released — and it’s a good one.

Marvel fans woke up Friday to a delight of the senses: The new trailer for “Avengers: Infinity War” was released by Marvel. In all of their glory, you get to see the franchise’s newest super villian, Thanos, take on the likes of Captain America, Iron Man and the whole gang.
Fans of Black Panther will feel right at home as Thanos is seen in the clip laying waste to Wakanda. (Let’s hope it survives, it’s been slated for a part 2.) Along with Chadwick Boseman, we see his on-screen sister Shuri, who figures to play an important role, especially because she is the one who constructs Captain America’s shield out of Vibranium.
This latest movie in the Avengers franchise centers on Thanos (Josh Brolin) and his quest for the Infinity Stones, which has been hinted at (artfully in the post-credit scenes) since the first movie more than six years ago.
Because of fan anticipation, Marvel has moved up the release date of “Infinity War” to April 27.

Thursday night’s third episode of “Atlanta” featured nods to the city’s recent past, including former Falcons quarterback Michael Vick. The show also weaved some Gucci Mane fodder into the dialogue.
Earn comes into some money, hoping to show Van a good time, only there’s no good time to be had in the city this night.
Michael Vick appears in AtlantaFX episode
The ending scene showing Vick pays homage to the football star’s time in the A and also what he meant to the fans. Down on his luck, he has resorted to racing people for money. Earn has been finessed out of money all night, why not again, this time on his terms?
Meanwhile, this is Van’s “Robbin’ Season” debut, with the first two episodes devoted wholly to the fellas. After the opening scene, she’s in pretty much the rest of the show, bouncing lines off Earn, who is trying to show her a good time on his dime for once.

“Money Bag Shawty” touches on a number of hot-button topics, including institutionalized racism, strip club commerce and VIP culture, but mostly it does what AtlantaFX has always done, and that is show you the truth through that ATL lens.
