We are definitely in the endgame now. What will most certainly be Marvels' latest, and possibly biggest, movie hits theaters starting Thursday.
Right?! We were just recovering from the emotional wounds of "Avengers: Infinity War."
Showings around the Phoenix area start as early as 6 p.m. Thursday and even earlier if you bought tickets to the Marvel movie marathon some theaters were hosting.
If you're a fan of the Marvel Universe, this is a movie you'll want to see the opening weekend. Because, unless you're somehow able to disconnect yourself from all social media for the next few days, spoilers are going to be really difficult to avoid.
Are there still tickets available for "Avengers: Endgame" in Phoenix?
Yes! At the time of this posting, there are a handful of tickets available for theaters across the Phoenix area for opening weekend.
Harkins Theaters said everyone thinks "Avengers: Endgame" showings are sold out, but the theater company has over 2,000 showings of the movie this week across the Phoenix area.
"That’s over 420,000 seats!" the theater company posted on Facebook.
Remember the movie is in 3D and IMAX 3D, so check those showtimes too.
How long is "Avengers: Endgame"?
Short answer: LONG.
The run time for "Avengers: Endgame," according to IMDB, is 3 hours and 1 minute.

Seriously three hours is a long time for a movie this day and age, which sparks another important question.
When is the best time to pee during "Avengers: Endgame"
Yes. This is actually a thing that trended on the Internet in the days leading up to the movie. Typical of the Internet, amirite?

• About 1 hour and 3 minutes in
• About 1 hour and 10 minutes in

What are reviews saying about "Avengers: Endgame"?
The movie is certified fresh on Rotten Tomatoes with a Tomatometor score of 96%, as of this posting.
Critics have also given praise to what is said to put a bow on a over 10 years worth of MCU movies.
Mashable said the movie is an "amazing flex by Marvel."
Brian Truitt from USA Today called it satisfying and said it was "Marvel's glorious greatest-hits package."
"If the Marvel superhero movies, on the whole, are your favorite band’s individual albums, “Avengers: Endgame” is the triple-disc greatest-hits package with the really awesome cover and a slew of familiar, comforting gems inside," Truitt wrote.
What do I need to know before seeing "Avengers: Endgame"?
A LOT. We've gone through a decade's worth of movies to get to this point, and early reviews of the film say die-hard fans of the franchise and those who have committed to watching all those MCU movies will enjoy it the most. For obvious reason, yes.
But if you're late to the game, first off shame on you, secondly there's one that you ABSOLUTELY need to watch before heading to the theater: "Avengers: Infinity War"
Start watching that one, now!
