Directed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck, the Hollywood movie also stars Samuel L Jackson, Djimon Hounsou, Clark Gregg, and Jude Law in pivotal roles. Last year, two trailers of the film were released and both of them got everyone excited for the superhero film.

In the past few years, Hollywood films, in general, have been doing good business in India and when it comes to Marvel and DC movies, they do have a loyal fan following here.
