  • Phase 2 of Marvel Studios’ current movie arc involving members of the Avengers gets it next installment with the upcoming Thor: Dark World sequel, which hits theaters on November 8th. Following that, the next chapter leading up the 2015’s The Avengers: Age of Ultron is the second part of Captain America’s story.

Did Marvel actually target April because of the 4/4/14 marketing/design benefits the provided by the numeric synergy?
