Nobody f**ks with Marvel, alright? Disney set a May 4th release date for their epic jam Avengers: Infinity War and every other studio fled for the hills, knowing the film would be a juggernaut steamrolling everything else. So what do you do when they decide to suddenly move the film to a totally different date?
Avengers: Infinity War will now open on April 27th, a full week earlier. This means the film will hit worldwide on the exact same date, rather than the staggered rollout Marvel tends to employ. This is what we call a hostile takeover. Tony Stark knows what’s up.

So now this gives Disney’s other gigantic movie, Solo: A Star Wars Story, the entire month of May to itself. They’ve gotten so big Disney now has to get out of its own way.
