It’s just another win for Marvel who has quite the array of films there to greet Captain Marvel, including Iron Man 3, The Avengers, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Captain America: Civil War, Black Panther and Avengers: Infinity War. Seeing that the upcoming Avengers: Endgame managed to break the record for most first-day presales in six hours, we think it’s a fair share that film is well on it’s way to joining the Marvel ranks as well.
