Marvel Releases 10 Years of Fandom Featurette As A Thank You To Fans
Has it really been 10 years? Marvel is not only releasing the highly anticipated Avengers: Infinity War, Marvel is also celebrating 10 years of their MCU. With over 18 movies in counting, the MCU has become one of the most successful franchises in history and everyone has been trying to create their own shared universes to try and cash in on this (Does anyone still care about the Dark Universe?).
However, Marvel has released a featurette video that is decided to someone special, YOU. The one that goes to the theatres to watch the movies, the one that stays behind to see the post-credits scenes and the one that keeps the debate about these movies alive online.
You can watch the video down below:

It’s been a wild 10 years with the MCU, here’s hoping that this franchise will last another 10 years or even 100 if we are lucky.

BOX OFFICE: Captain America Soars with $95 million
Captain America: The Winter Soldier, the sequel to the 2011 original starring Chris Evans as the Super Soldier, grossed an estimated $96.2 million this opening weekend. The Marvel Superhero flick set a record for best April opening and earning an “A” CinemaScore from its audiences.
While it’s opening did fall beneath The Avengers and Iron Man 3, it does outrank many of the stand-alone Marvel character debuts, including both Thor films and the original Captain America, which it outgrossed by 48%. It also grossed an additional $110 million from audiences overseas.
Comparing it to the other Marvel stand-alone films that have been released since 2012’s The Avengers, The Winter Soldier‘s domestic debut received the biggest “Avengers bump” yet: Iron Man 3 was up 36%, while Thor: The Dark World improved 30%.
While it’s not surprising that more men than women showed up to watch the latest Marvel Superhero film, more couples were in the audience than families, with the majority of the audience between 18-49.
Last weekend’s top-charter Noah‘s audience fell a steep 61% this weekend with $17.05 million, putting its domestic total at $72.3 million.
Here are the weekend’s Top 10 films at the box office:
