In a pretty weird move considering the close proximity of the gargantuan film’s release date, Marvel have decided to change the UK title of The Avengers to Avengers Assemble, exclusively for their across-the-pond brethren. Perplexing cinemagoers everywhere, you’ll now be met with blank stares when you ask for a ticket for “The Avengers” at your local Odeon, with the sales assistant undoubtedly continuing to let you know that such a title doesn’t exist in the United Kingdom.
Just to try and put the title into your brains, they’ve also released an England-only poster to be put on bus shelters and nerd’s walls everywhere.
The Av- I mean, Avengers Assemble is released over here on 26 April.

If I were a car, I'd be a 1978 Mini Cooper Saloon - red, with racing stripes. Why? Because I love drinking petrol and I painted two racing stripes from my nutsack to my forehead, right now, to prove my point.
I'm a magician, hypnotherapist and casino poker dealer, which is because I'm an actor, and we make very little money and have to make do. Also, just a side note, "hypnotherapist" just came up with red squiggly lines on spellcheck, which shocks me because a) "hypnotherapy" doesn't and b) I consider this spellcheck as a gauge of future success in life and have found myself heartily disappointed.
Ironically, this spellcheck doesn't recognise "spellcheck". This has just created a black hole on the screen on my laptop, so I'll be going now to find something to fill it.
