When all this is over, and the Marvel Cinematic Universe is ready to start anew, viewers will be left poring over the embarrassment of riches that is Avengers: Infinity War‘s poster campaign.
Whether it’s super-sized IMAX banners or entire spreads dedicated to Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, the promotional push for Infinity War is unlike anything we’ve ever seen before – fitting, really, given this is undoubtedly the MCU’s biggest and most audacious movie thus far.
It’s also tracking for a record opening in North America, where we fully expect Infinity War to set a new record in ticket sales – last we checked, Joe and Anthony Russo’s seismic tentpole was outpacing the last 7 MCU movies combined over on Fandango. That is, quite frankly, ridiculous, particularly when you consider that Black Panther hit theaters only two months ago and claimed a record $1.3 billion worldwide, placing it just behind Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
And with only eight days left standing between now and April 27th, ODEON Cinemas has premiered five stunning posters for Avengers: Infinity War that combine to make one incredible, awe-inspiring banner – not unlike Marvel’s gigantic banner that dropped during San Diego Comic-Con last year.
You’ll also notice that renown artist Matt Ferguson has paired many of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes with their closest allies from Infinity War – for instance, Tony Stark can be seen in the company of Doctor Strange, whose intellect and ego leads to some grandstanding between the two, which isn’t all that surprising when you consider Stark’s snarky disposition.
Elsewhere, Captain America sides with his old pal, Bucky Barnes, while you’ll also notice that ODEON has dedicated an entire poster to the Mad Titan himself, Thanos. Conspicuous by his absence? Hawkeye…again.
Look for Avengers: Infinity War to make its long-anticipated debut on April 27th.
