Speaking on the film festival, Marvel president Kevin Feige said: “We knew we wanted to go big to celebrate 10 years of Marvel Studios, and you can’t get any bigger than Imax,”
“This is an incredible celebration for fans. They will be able to see all of Marvel Studios’ films back-to-back and really be immersed in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.”

Meanwhile, it has been revealed that one of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s most iconic lines was improvised by Robert Downey Jr.
Kevin Feige said Downey’s famous line – “I am Iron Man” – was ab-libbed when the first film in the franchise was released ten years ago.
Marvel released Iron Man ten years ago on May 2, 2008, launching Marvel as a studio. The film grossed $585 million on it’s release.
This year, Marvel’s blockbusters Black Panther, Avengers: Infinity War and Ant-Man and the Wasp have earned $3.7 billion worldwide.
