Bring 'The Avengers' to Detroit early

Facebook fans in five lucky cities will get to see “The Avengers” at a special screening on April 14, a few weeks before the official May 4.

Detroit isn’t one of those cities (Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Houston and Miami won), but there’s still a chance. Five more cities will be chosen for another free, advance screening, with the winner begin announced next Monday.

Just go to the “Avengers” Facebook page for details.

Screenings will also have costume contests, so be ready with your best Thor and Hulk threads. The winner will get reserved seats.

C’mon, Detroit, let’s get a showing here!!
