Endgame premiere: Avengers stars celebrate final chapter – ‘I cried like six times’
- Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Chris Evans, Brie Larson and others were all at the premiere of Avengers: Endgame
- Endgame concludes the story of the six original Avengers in Marvel’s cinematic universe
Marvel’s star-studded Avengers superhero team descended on Los Angeles on Monday at a lavish premiere to celebrate the final chapter in a 22-movie saga that ranks as the film industry’s highest-grossing franchise of all time.
Hundreds of industry VIPs, cast members, fans and media watched the first showing of Avengers: Endgame, the three-hour action spectacle that has been held tightly under wraps.
The film begins rolling out in theatres around the world on Wednesday.
Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man), Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow), Chris Evans (Captain America), Brie Larson (Captain Marvel) and others walked a purple carpet underneath a giant, spinning Avengers logo set up inside the Los Angeles Convention Centre.
“I’m excited that I’m finally going to get to see the movie,” said Paul Rudd, who plays Ant-Man and, like other cast members, had not seen the finished film because of Marvel’s secrecy around the project.
