For once, superheroes will not only be saving the planet Earth from imminent disaster, they will also be flying to the rescue of the film industry. According to the Hollywood Reporter, Marvel will be re-releasing its Avengers and Iron Man 3 in Hong Kong film theatres from 28 May to 10 June. An excellent idea to encourage audiences to return to their seats in the wake of the lifting of lockdown restrictions at the beginning of May.

And let’s not forget that the 4K version of the first film in the Matrix trilogy was already released in the territory earlier this month.
