'Avengers: Infinity War' Release Date Moved Up to April ~ amazing movies

Marvel had a big surprise for fans who can't wait to see the latest installment of the "Avengers" series: "Infinity War" will now premiere a week earlier than scheduled.

The release date switcheroo -- from original date May 4 to the new date, April 27 -- was announced in a cheeky Twitter exchange between star Robert Downey Jr. and the official Marvel account. The change most likely was instated to prevent competition with its fellow Disney property "Solo: A Star Wars Story," which is slated to premiere on May 25. Now, "Infinity War" will have some room to breathe at the box office before Solo comes storming in at the end of the month (not to mention the debut of rival -- for now -- 20th Century Fox's "Deadpool," itself moved up to a new date, May 18).

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the new release date also means that "Infinity War" will open on the same day worldwide, which will help prevent the spread of spoilers. It will also usher in an even earlier start to the summer movie season.

Now, moviegoers won't have much longer to wait to finally see the big-screen team-up of the "Avengers" crew, the "Guardians of the Galaxy" gang, and the red-hot Wakanda heroes from current smash hit "Black Panther." "Avengers: Infinity War" hits theaters on April 27.
