    Dubbed “The Fanboys Affect” after Ernie Cline‘s 2009 film (in which a terminally ill fanboy and his friends break into Skywalker Ranch in order to see Star Wars: The Phantom Menace before he dies), this isn’t the first time Disney has agreed to do this for a fan.

    In this Avengers: Endgame case, Reddit user Alexander Q (who suffers from a rare terminal genetic disease called Fanconi Anemia) posted a thread about how he wanted to try to get into an early screening as he doesn’t believe he’ll be alive when the film releases in April.

    Through a series of updates, Alexander reveals that “Disney have reached out and we are discussing options.”  You can read the thread below.
