'Avengers: Endgame' Beats Out 'Star Wars: Episode 9' For Most Anticipated Movie Of 2019

After the emotional distress that Avengers: Infinity War wrought on Marvel fans everywhere, it's no wonder that Avengers: Endgame is next year's most anticipated movie. A Fandango poll revealed that the next Avengers film has beat out the year's other blockbuster big-hitter, Star Wars: Episode 9, for the most anticipated movie of 2019.

Marvel is winning on all fronts for building anticipation for its films in 2019, according to a survey conducted by Fandango for USA TODAY.

The Russo Brothers' Avengers: Endgame earned the No. 1 spot of the most anticipated overall movie of next year, with Captain Marvel winning the No. 2 spot, both Marvel films beating out Star Wars: Episode 9 at No. 3. This isn't the first time that Marvel has overtaken a Star Wars film in hype — last year's Fandango poll saw Infinity War earning the No. 1 spot while Solo: A Star Wars Story took No. 5.

But this is a main trilogy film we're talking about here, and it's a major achievement on Marvel's part for both of their films to overshadow the hype for Episode 9. But either way, it's a win for Disney, whose films take up 7 of the 10 slots in most anticipated movies overall.
