Avengers: Endgame is finally out in UK cinemas and fan reactions have been intense. But some fans may not want to spend three hours in a cinema without the ability to pause the film for a toilet break… A pirated version has already been leaked online ahead of Endgame’s US release.
Can you watch Avengers: Endgame online?
No, and any website purporting to have the movie available to stream is illegal.
You can watch other Marvel movies online from the comfort of your home, however.
Marvel fan favourites such as Ant-Man and Guardians of the Galaxy are on Netflix.
However, Avengers: Infinity War, the direct precursor to Endgame, is only available to stream on Now TV.

For now, fans will have to brave the queues and forgoe liquids to see Avengers: Endgame.
But seeing it in cinemas is absolutely worth it, for the stunning visuals and overwhelmingly emotional moments.

Audiences have been cheering out loud, weeping and laughing during the movie.
Though some might find this disrupting, the ambience of an entire audience clapping at climactic moments is a wonderful thing.
Not to mention studios, even powerhouse ones like Disney, rely on box office numbers to measure success.
Captain Marvel and Black Panther were both able to command exponential figures at the box office.
This cemented them as successes despite some negative commentary from trolls.
AVENGERS ENDGAME TIMELINE: THE FILMS YOU NEED TO SEE BEFORE AVENGERS 4
Mark Batey, chief executive of trade body the Film Distributors’ Association discussed the ramifications of illegal online streaming with The Guardian in 2014.
Mr Batey said: “There’s a perception that it’s a victimless crime, but it’s not.
“There are just a handful of super successes every year among hundreds of movies that are brought to market.
“And when a film is copied or made available online, it reduces the value of that film around the world.”
Avengers: Endgame is now playing in UK cinemas.
