The Ultimate Marvel Marathon Announced To Launch Avengers: Age Of Ultron

Chris Hardwick announced at the Nerdist Panel at WonderCon Anaheim, that Nerdist Industries will present The Ultimate Marvel Marathon at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood. The event will feature a back-to-back screening of all 11 Marvel Cinematic Universe movies, followed by the next installment, Avengers: Age of Ultron.The ticketed event starts at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, April 20, and ends after the 8:30 p.m. showing on Tuesday, April 21. Chris Hardwick and other Nerdist talent will host the 29-hour event, with some help from special guests. 

Fans who stick around for all 11 movies will receive an exclusive commemorative poster and will be entered in a drawing for two tickets to the Ant-Man world premiere. All guests will receive a commemorative event credential and will be treated to meals, provided by sponsors Cheez-It crackers and Kellogg's Rice Krispies Treats, plus other snacks, including popcorn served in a souvenir 130 oz. metal popcorn tub. There will also be a costume contest, raffles and giveaways between films.

"In 1990, Kevin Feige and I were both at an all-day Back to the Future trilogy screening where they showed films one and two and then premiered part three for fans die hard enough to wait in line for MANY HOURS, which we were. After exchanging e-mails with Kevin, we agreed that it was time to do this with the Marvel films," said Chris Hardwick. "This Ultimate Marvel Marathon will be an experience that Marvel super fans will remember for the rest of their lives, just as we did with Back to the Future. And getting to see Ultron first? What true Nerd doesn't love to see a movie before anyone else? Marvel fans, ASSEMBLE!" 

Tickets for the event are $70 per person and are available now through elcapitantickets.com, 1-800-DISNEY6 or at the theater box office.
