It appears those in attendance were shown multiple scenes that may or may not have been related to one another, but many showcased the use of IMAX. Outside of the hype around the visuals that the film will have, it will be interesting to see what kind of references are made to the rest of the MCU and how that plays into the plot of the new film.
 
Fans awaiting the movie are just over three weeks away from seeing it in theaters for themselves, depending on what part of the world they live in. No doubt it’s Marvel and Disney’s hope that these reactions will get even more people interested in seeing the movie, but it is important to remember that the people attending these screenings are likely already sold on the film. Similarly glowing early reactions to Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice came out, but the film was ultimately divisive. Critic screenings will likely start happening closer to the film’s release, so once the embargo lifts, fans will be able to see how the critical reception to film is in comparison to early fan reactions.
