BURBANK, Calif — To combat inflation in America, Marvel Studios announced earlier this morning that they will be raising their movie ticket prices in order to cover the rising cost of hidden easter eggs.
“It’s already hard enough to afford anything after giving Robert Downey Jr. another billion dollars. Now with egg prices going up, we had to do something,” stated Marvel Studios CEO Kevin Feige.
Feige told reporters that this was not the first idea they had to help alleviate the price hike for themselves.
“We first thought about not having any more easter eggs in our films. But people love seeing an infinity stone hidden somewhere or a nod to X-Men who we’ll never actually give a real movie to,” said Feige. “We then had another idea that we would cover the hidden easter eggs with a paywall where audience members could scan a QR code to see what was hiding in the scene. But that got complicated when we realized that most of our movies are just one big easter egg for another movie.”
While the price hike may deter fans from going to the theaters, Marvel Studios assured fans that the extra price is worth it.
“We don’t want to spoil anything for the new Captain America: Brave New World movie, but the hidden easter egg rhymes with Schmephisto,” teased director Julius Onah.
Disney CEO Bob Iger also spoke to reporters about the recent egg price hike before boarding his private jet leaving for his French château.
“Look! We are all hurting with these price hikes. But you have my word that Disney will never hike the price of easter eggs within our streaming services.”
At press time, Disney Plus announced a membership price increase for those who want to see easter eggs in any Disney movie including Marvel, Star Wars and Pixar.
