Rentrak broke the news in tweets sent earlier today.

Marvel revealed their full plans for the next five years in a press and fan event held in Los Angeles last week. Enormous buzz followed the announcements that Black Panther and Captain Marvel would be joining their long-running cohesive cinematic universe.

Their announcement came one week after the release of the first trailer for Avengers: Age of Ultron, their next movie and follow-up to the third highest grossing film of all time.

Age of Ultron will be released on 24 April 2015 (yes, one week before the US).
