Terminally ill Marvel superfan catches attention of Chris Hemsworth, gets an early screening of 'Avengers: Endgame'
An Australian man, who is only known by his first name Alexander, posted an earnest desire on Reddit to see ‘Avengers: Endgame’ as soon as he can, way ahead of its scheduled release on April 26, 2019.
The 33-year-old revealed on the Marvel studios subreddit that he was battling liver cancer, mouth cancer, and bone marrow failure, and one of the things he was most looking forward to in the last few months of his life is to watch the upcoming Marvel flick.
Although he had hoped to hold on till April, his deteriorating condition led him to believe that it may be an unrealistic expectation. His appeal on Reddit, which was shared under the title 'Dying Before April: My Endgame’ on January 5, read, “Liver cancer, mouth cancer, bone marrow failure. Will probably be dead before April. I've heard of people getting early screenings before. I'm not a child or anyone with a, particularly tragic story. Just a normal guy. I'm 33, lost my sister three years ago to the same rare genetic disease it turns out I have too.”
