A set of seven Marvel mobile games are incorporating elements from 2018's blockbuster Black Panther and upcoming April 27 release Avengers: Infinity War.

Characters and content from the Black Panther, Spider-Man and Avengers: Infinity War movies are being distributed to seven Marvel mobile games over the coming week.

Marvel Contest Of Champions welcomes a challenge involving the lead actors from Black Panther and Spider-Man, Chadwick Boseman and Tom Holland, starting April 19.

Likewise, Marvel Puzzle Quest is starting up its own in-game event on the 19th.

Then, in the days following the Avengers: Infinity War world premiere on the 23rd and its general release in US theatres, the septet of Marvel gaming apps are rolling out related material, according to information given to The Hollywood Reporter.
