In keeping with Marvel tradition, it looks like Avengers: Endgame will be hitting cinemas in the UK earlier than it will in the US after all.

Ignoring the blip that was Ant-Man and the Wasp, UK cinema-goers have been enjoying Marvel releases a little earlier than those in the US since Iron Man 2 in 2010.

Avengers: Endgame looked set to change that when the previous US release date of May 3 was brought forward to April 26 to join the UK release date, just like Infinity War was.

But now, Comscore Movies UK & Ireland has reported that the film will open earlier in the UK after all, pointing at a Thursday, April 25 release date – a day before it hits US cinemas.

NEWS FROM THE UK & IRELAND RELEASE CALENDAR:

Avengers: Endgame will have a Thursday opening, 25th April. — Comscore Movies UK & Ireland (@CsMoviesUK) January 29, 2019

The first trailer for Avengers: Endgame finally dropped in early December, opening with Tony Stark stranded in space and sending a goodbye message to Pepper Potts.

It arrived unexpectedly and quickly broke records to become the trailer to get the most views in 24 hours – racking up 289 million views over the course of its first day.

The milestone meant Marvel broke its own record, which they previously set with the Avengers: Infinity War trailer, which received 230 million views in the same period.

Fans can probably expect to see some more footage from the film during the Super Bowl on Sunday (February 3), but they're unlikely to get a full trailer.

But before Endgame hits, first Captain Marvel will arrive on March 8, starring Brie Larson as our Carol Danvers, Samuel L Jackson as Nick Fury, Clark Gregg as Phil Coulson, Lee Pace as Ronan, Djimon Hounsou as Korath and Jude Law as an as-yet-unnamed character.

Avengers: Endgame will now be released in the UK on April 25, before following in the US on April 26.
