Nerdist Ultimate Marvel Marathon at the El Capitan Theatre by David Crane

Nerdist Industries is presenting The Ultimate Marvel Marathon at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood right now!
This epic event will showcase all 11 movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, culminating with the highly anticipated Marvel’s “Avengers: Age of Ultron.”
The ticketed event starts at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, April 20, and ends after the 8:30 p.m. showing on Tuesday, April 21.
Chris Hardwick and other Nerdist talent will host the event with help from special guests expected to appear throughout the 29-hour engagement.

South OC Beaches correspondent David Crane is attending this 29 hour event.
South OC Beaches will be live tweeting during the event at South OC Beaches.

Attendees who see all 11 films will receive an exclusive commemorative poster and will be entered in a drawing for two tickets to Marvel’s “Ant-Man” world premiere.
All guests will receive a commemorative event credential and will be treated to meals, Cheez-It™ crackers and Kellogg’s Rice Krispies Treats™, plus other snacks, including popcorn served in a souvenir 130 oz. metal popcorn tub.

There will be an out-of-this-world costume contest, plus fun raffles and giveaways between films.

“In 1990, Kevin Feige and I were both at an all-day ‘Back to the Future’ trilogy screening where they showed films one and two and then premiered part three for fans die hard enough to wait in line for MANY HOURS, which we were.
After exchanging e-mails with Kevin, we agreed that it was time to do this with the Marvel films,” said Chris Hardwick.
“This Ultimate Marvel Marathon will be an experience that Marvel super fans will remember for the rest of their lives, just as we did with ‘Back to the Future.’
And getting to see Ultron first? What true Nerd doesn’t love to see a movie before anyone else? Marvel fans, ASSEMBLE!”

On April 29 2015 The AMC in Downtown Disney will host The Ultimate Marvel Marathon in Anaheim California.
Other select theaters across the United States will be hosting similar events on April 29 2015.

Avengers: Age of Ultron hits theaters May 1 2015.

Tickets for The Ultimate Marvel Marathon on April 29th are available at Fandango or the theater box office. Times, events and giveaways vary by theater.
