As if the new Avengers film weren't anticipated enough, Marvel Studios gave fans a special treat this week with a collection of character posters designed by creative agency LA.
To further engage fans, the studio was cryptic with the copy and the coloring of the images. The release of these posters confirmed for fans the return of some of their favorite Avengers, and the demise of a couple others. Fans are in a frenzy trying to decipher what it all means. Nothing builds anticipation like mystery.
Answers will be revealed on April 26, when Avengers: Endgame hit theaters.
Special
Gear up for Special, a new Netflix coming-of-age series that follows the life and times of a mid-20s gay man with cerebral palsy. This semi-autobiographical series was created by Ryan O'Connell, with Jim Parsons as an executive producer.
The trailer, made by Empire Design, promises lots of laughter, awkward squirms and perhaps a few tears. Mark your calendars for April 12, because this looks like a binge-er.
