“AVENGERS 4”: NEW TITLE, TRAILER, RELEASE DATE

» The fourth “Avengers” movie finally has a title. Marvel Studios and the Walt Disney Co. said Friday that the highly anticipated conclusion to the “Infinity War” saga will be called “Avengers: Endgame.”

The studios also released the first trailer for the film, in which Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow character explains that Thanos really did erase half the population. “Avengers: Infinity War” ended on that cliffhanger as many of Marvel’s superheroes dissolved into the air.

Directed by Anthony Russo and Joe Russo, “Avengers: Endgame” will debut in North American theaters April 26. — The Associated Press
