The Avengers To Assemble On The Big Screen A Little Earlier In The UK!

While reading an interview with Zak Penn over at SFX (no idea why the guy is still talking about The Avengers when it's a well know fact that Joss Whedon has rewritten the script) I noticed something a little strange at the end of their report. The Avengers will be released by Walt Disney Studios on 27 April 2012. At first, I figured that it must have been a mistake of some sort. After all, May 4th is the date we've all been counting down to for the past year or more.

Well, after doing a little digging, it seem that this is indeed when The Avengers will be released in the UK. Several other reputable news sites use it when writing about the movie, while it's also listed on the likes of FilmDates.co.uk. As some of you may recall, Paramount released both Iron Man 2 and THOR in the UK two weeks before they came out in the US, and while most of the world (including us Brits) have had to wait an extra week for Captain America: The First Avenger, I'd say Disney doing this just about makes us even, wouldn't you?

Be sure to share your thoughts on this news in the usual place!

STARRING:

Chris Evans as Steve Rogers/Captain America
Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark/Iron Man
Chris Hemsworth as Thor
Jeremy Renner as Clint Barton/Hawkeye
Scarlett Johansson as Natasha Ramanoff/Black Widow
Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner/Hulk
Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury
Tom Hiddleston as Loki

RELEASE DATE: May 4th, 2012. (US)

Marvel has been building up to this for years now, I just can't believe that it's being released here first....This news has made the rest of the year that little bit sweeter.

Mind you - I have no idea what dictates release dates in different countries.

I guess due to promotional duties and premieres they can't release films in several countries simultaneously.

I wonder if the UK Bank Holiday has anything to do with it as well?

Oh and for those who dare to care and haven't seen it yet here is a MCU timeline.

WAHEY! :D We've got every Marvel Studios film apart from TFA earlier than the US so it's kinda understandable... Still gotta wait 'til Friday to see Cap and I must admit it's pretty annoying! (especailly having to avoid this site like the plague to not spoil the film for myself etc...)

I have always thought it a bit odd that U.S.American film companies release their films earlier in other countries than they do in their own country. For example: Transformers: Dark Side of the Moon came out in France before it did in the USA.
