If you’re anything like us, you’ve been counting down to May 4th for months, ticking away time making Iron Man Mash-ups and ogling Marvel-inspired nail lacquer. The hugely anticipated movie, The Avengers, hits theaters this Friday, and teams up a culmination of some of the mightiest superheroes the silver screen has seen in one movie, including Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Black Widow, Hawkeye and The Hulk. You’ll spot the same star-studded cast from the previous movies redonning their costumes, including Robert Downey Jr, Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth and Scarlett Johansson, as well as Mark Ruffalo stepping in as Bruce Banner/The Hulk.

If you’re not yet familiar with where Captain America got that crazy cool shield or what makes Iron Man’s armor glow, you’ll definitely want to brush up before hitting the latest installment. And there’s no better way to do it than to catch the The Avengers Movie Marathon this Thursday, May 3rd!

For one day only, select theaters will be presenting a Mighty Marvel Marathon which assembles all 6 remarkable movies, with Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2, Thor 3D, and Captain America 3D playing back to back. The day is then capped off with the premiere of the newest movie to the franchise, The Avengers in 3D! The cost of admission to this event varies (see links below), but expect to pay anywhere between $20-$40.

Eager beavers attending the Marvel marathon will be rewarded handsomely. Ticket holders among the first in line will score free limited-edition swag, like collector’s pins and movie posters. Movie goers will also be able to enjoy concession goodies at a deliciously discounted price. Large popcorn refills and regular hot dogs will set you back just $2, and refills for large fountain drinks and frozen drinks are only a buck. Although, with more than 12 hours of film to watch and no rewind button, we strongly suggest minimal liquid consumption.
