Could you watch 31 hours of Marvel superhero films? As a way to raise money for Everytown, a nonprofit that works to end gun violence in America, there will be a 12-film marathon in Times Square—and everyone is invited.
David Ehrlich, a popular film critic for IndieWire, is starting a fundraiser called "Punish David with Marvel Movies to Help End Gun Violence!" On April 25, Erlich will sit and watch endless superhero films at the AMC 25 in Times Square.
Taking to Twitter to promote the fundraiser, he wrote, "on April 25th, i’ll be putting the “Infinity" in #InfinityWar and enduring a 31-hour, 12-film Marvel movie marathon in Times Square to raise $$$ for @Everytown and help end gun violence in America. please be a superhero and donate or spread the word!"
