Chandler theater to welcome new ‘Avengers’ with 22-movie marathon

PHOENIX – An East Valley movie theater is offering the ultimate Avengers experience to celebrate the release of the blockbuster franchise’s latest installment.

Harkins Chandler Fashion will screen all 22 Marvel Cinematic Universe movies in a two-day marathon, culminating with an early showing of the highly anticipated “Avengers: Endgame.”

If living in a movie theater and watching superhero movies for 58 hours sounds like heaven, here’s what you’ll get for your $100 ticket:

• Viewings of all 22 Marvel movies, in chronological order by release date.
• An exclusive poster, blanket, collectible coin and “comfort kit.”
• Unlimited $3 small popcorns.

The marathon kicks off with 2008’s “Iron Man” at 10 a.m. on April 23, a Tuesday, and concludes two days later with “Avengers: Endgame” at 5 p.m., an hour before the first screenings at most Valley theaters.

Tickets for the 48-Hour Marathon are now working!

Intermissions of around 30 minutes are scheduled between each film. And so things don’t get too messy, there will be an auditorium change halfway through the festivities.

If that’s a bit much but you want to be among the first viewers to see how the good guys recover after Thanos wreaked havoc in “Avengers: Infinity War,” Harkins is also offering an Opening Night Fan Event on April 25.

For $20, you can attend a 5 p.m. screening of “Avengers: Endgame” and get a collectible coin and a medium popcorn.

That offer is available at the following locations: Arrowhead Fountains, Estrella Falls, Camelview at Fashion Square, Scottsdale 101, Chandler Fashion and Superstition Springs.

Advance tickets for “Avengers: Endgame,” which goes into national release April 26, went on sale Tuesday, reportedly straining and crashing ticket websites.
