Avengers: Endgame had its world premiere at the Los Angeles Convention Center on 22 April. From emotional messages from the cast to some inspired red carpet looks, here’s what went down at the event.
1. Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth and Chris Evans Teared Up
In a speech to the audience, Mark Ruffalo, who plays the role of Hulk said:
“It’s been an amazing ride and so moving. I love all of you guys so much. It’s been the trip of a lifetime, and what you did up there tonight was so beautiful. My brother and sister Avengers, I love you so much.”Mark Ruffalo, Actor
Captain America star Chris Evans spoke about the Avengers bond and told the audience he “cried like six times” that night.
“I have a lot of my friends and family here tonight, and a lot of them are right up here. We have this bond that transcends what we do for a living… I cried like six times.”Chris Evans, Actor
He may play Thor but Chris Hemsworth one-upped Captain America by admitting to crying more than six times during the premiere.
2. Brie Larson and Scarlett Johansson Rocked Jewellery Inspired by the Infinity Stones
Both Brie Larson and Scarlett Johansson were seen wearing jewellery that had been inspired by the Infinity Stones from the Marvel Universe at the premiere of their movie. The Infinity Stones are six gems that give those who hold them power over the specific aspect of existence that they represent. Possible spoiler maybe?
3. Natalie Portman Hinted at Her Return as Jane Foster
Natalie Portman played the role of Thor’s love interest Jane Foster in Thor and Thor: The Dark World but hasn’t been not seen in any other Marvel movie since. Her appearance at the Avengers: Endgame premiere raised questions about whether her character would make a comeback in this final installment. I guess, we’ll just have to wait and watch.
4. Vin Diesel Turned up in a Groot-Themed Suit
Vin Diesel, who voiced the adorable Groot in the Guardians of the Galaxy series, attended the premiere in a jacket inspired by the character.
5. The Avengers: Endgame Cast and Crew Shared a Special Message for Marvel Fans
Marvel shared a montage video of with the cast and crew of the film, including Chris Hemsworth and Paul Rudd, thanking the fandom.
Avengers: Endgame is set to release in India on 26 April.
