Opening Today

Avengers: Endgame

Directed by Anthony and Joe Russo; stars Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Paul Rudd

After their defeat at the hands of the alien tyrant Thanos, the remaining Avengers gather and attempt to stop their most powerful foe.

Downey, who plays Iron Man, recently told the Inquirer about the “Endgame” directors: “Marvel doesn’t welcome you into the club if you don’t do your damn job and do it well. So it was an amazing proving ground to watch them come in with ‘Captain America: The Winter Soldier.’ It’s almost unimaginable how impactful the Russos have been on the whole MCU in the last five years or so.”
