Select footage from the film was screened in various cities during the film's press tour in early April, ahead of the Los Angeles premiere. The Russos said only a limited amount of the film would be shown at these screenings to reduce the chance of spoilers being leaked. Adam Chitwood of [[Collider (website)|Collider]] commented that this was "highly unusual as most Marvel movies are screened in their entirety for press about a month before they hit theaters".<ref name="PressTourFootage" /> Ahead of the United States release, AMC Theatres in New York City and Orlando, Florida aired an eleven-MCU film marathon beginning on April 25, ending in a screening of ''Infinity War''.
