Marvel Moves Avengers: Infinity War Release Date Up A Week!

Yesterday, in a surprise announcement that sent shockwaves throughout the multiverse, Marvel Studios revealed that its highly-anticipated Avengers: Infinity War film would premiere worldwide on April 27th, an entire week earlier than its original May 4th date.

The announcement followed a cheeky exchange between Marvel Studios and Robert Downey Jr., who used some of his sway as Tony Stark to angle for an earlier release.

Any chance I could see it earlier?
