Marvel Announces Captain America Movie Marathon For This Thursday

Last year, Marvel Studios tested the mettle of comic book movie fans with The Ultimate Marvel Marathon, a 28-hour marathon consisting of 11 movies, climaxing with the brand new Avengers: Age of Ultron. They have just announced the “Ultimate Captain America Marathon,” which will screen in select theaters this Thursday and will, of course, conclude with a screening of Captain America: Civil War.

The marathon will take place this Thursday, May 5, 2016. If you want to see if a theater near you is hosting this monstrous test of your devotion to all things comic book movie, you can head over to Fandango to find out. Tickets will cost you $47.99, which is a little less than ten bucks per movie. Starting times vary from theater to theater, but 7:00 and 8:00 in the morning seem to be the most common at a cursory glance.

As the name of the event implies, this marathon will feature the five movie set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe that have featured Chris Evans‘ Captain America. Things will get kicked off with 2011’s Captain America: The First Avenger, continue with 2012’s The Avengers, keep on trucking with 2014’s Captain America: The Winter Soldier, test your mental durability with 2015’s Avengers: Age of Ultron, and finally break out the brand new goods with Captain America: Civil War, which technically opens in the United States this Friday but is holding its first screenings on Thursday
