It's the moment Marvel fans have been waiting for since being left with such a cliffhanger at the end of last year's epic Infinity War.

Avengers: Endgame has finally hit cinemas in the county with a premier at midnight.

The film - which is the 22nd in the franchise - is one of the most-hyped of 2019.

Scroll down to hear from fans waiting to go and see the film in Chatham.

Avengers: Endgame is a muscular, blockbuster which nods reverentially to the past 11 years of Marvel Comics mayhem.

With one Infinity Gloved-hand, directors Anthony and Joe Russo pander to fans with splashy special effects-laden action sequences and heartfelt exchanges.

Earlier this evening some fans had started queuing up like brothers, Harry, 11 and David Box 14 who are both from Gillingham.

They were waiting to see the movie at the Odeon cinema in Chatham Maritime and Harry was wearing appropriate head gear.

Another fan waiting to see the film was Eniola Ogundeyin, 22, who lives in Lordswood.

According to research by Culture Trip, 3.7 million Brits will consider calling in sick today after staying up late to watch the movie.
