With April just around the corner, I've started to notice how crazy next month is going to be in terms of the beginning of the "end" for three mega franchises...
APRIL 12 (FRIDAY) - Star Wars: Episode IX
-The likely debut of the first trailer for Episode IX - the final Star Wars movie in the Skywalker saga - at Star Wars Celebration, if past precedent holds, and by all accounts it likely will. (Not to mention, we'll likely get the first trailer for The Mandalorian here as well.)
APRIL 14 (SUNDAY) - Game of Thrones: Season 8
-The premiere of the final season of the most popular TV series of the decade. Three of the six total season eight episodes will air in April.
APRIL 25 (THURSDAY) - Avengers: Endgame
-The theatrical debut of the movie itself; the culmination of 11 years of the MCU, an event that will dramatically change the MCU going forward, and will likely see the death of at least a couple beloved characters.
Not to mention, in the world of sports...
APRIL 6 (SATURDAY) - NCAA Basketball Final Four
APRIL 8 (MONDAY) - NCAA Basketball National Championship
APRIL 11 (THURSDAY) - The Masters
APRIL 13 (SATURDAY) - NBA Playoffs
APRIL 13 (SATURDAY) - A&M Maroon & White Spring Football Game
In other words, the weekend of April 12, in particular, will see...
-The first Episode IX trailer
-The Masters
-The NBA Playoffs begin
-The Maroon & White Game
-AND the season eight Game of Thrones premiere
That's insane.
I think it's safe to say that April 2019 might be the most exciting all-around month of the entire year in terms of sports and pop culture...
