For those interested in how to watch Avengers: Infinity War, you’ve arrived at the right place.

Of the 23 MCU movies released to date, Avengers: Infinity War is the most important of the bunch.

During the course of the film, you'll find yourself laughing, crying, gasping and shouting in excitement as the characters you’ve come to know and love coexist in an epic storyline.

Beyond the impact of this movie had on the landscape of superhero films, Avengers: Infinity War is one of the most successful films of all time. It peaked at No. 4 on the list of the highest-grossing films and currently sits fifth, just behind Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The only MCU film to surpass it was its sequel, Avengers: Endgame.

What was once a niche category of movies became the standard for worldwide blockbusters by the time that Avengers: Infinity War released.

Characters explored locations new and old to unlock what truly has become the pride and joy of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
