From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

With the release of Avengers: Infinity War drawing ever closer, Marvel and Disney going all-out and releasing dozens of new teases.

Thanks to a featurette named “Family”, we can have a sneak-peak behind-the-scenes, featuring lots of new footage – including Star Lord almost raising a middle finger – along with lots of hugging.

Chris Hemsworth, Chris Pratt, Gwyneth Paltrow, Robert Downey Jr., Jon Favreau, Elizabeth Olsen, Danai Gurira, Benedict Cumberbatch, and Mark Ruffalo all appear as talking heads.

Infinity War, which marks the culmination of 10 years of Marvel movies, has already set records — the first full trailer quickly became the most-watched trailer within 24 hours ever.

American ticket sellers Fandango say the Russo Brothers-directed movie has already sold more presale tickets than the last seven Marvel movies combined – that includes Black Panther, Thor: Ragnarok, and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.

Half an hour of footage was recently shown to the public, the reaction being overwhelmingly positive.

Meanwhile, Black Panther — the titular character from which features in Infinity War — continues to smash box-office records, becoming the highest-grossing superhero movie of all time in the US and overtaking Titanic.

Infinity War touches down 27 April.
