Inside the Worldwide 'Avengers: Endgame' Premiere

With only days remaining until the worldwide release of the most highly anticipated film of the year, 'Avengers: Endgame' had its worldwide red carpet premiere yesterday at the Los Angeles Convention Centre. Many fans had been camping outside the venue for several days in the hope of seeing their favourite heroes in the flesh. Dazzling on the carpet, which was dyed a vibrant purple to match the aubergine hue of Thanos' complexion, were of course the main superheroes, as well as old stars from the Marvel Cinematographic Universe and other VIP guests. After the phenomenal success of the prequel, 'Avengers: Infinity War' (which made over $2 billion worldwide), the event made way for what could very well turn out to be the biggest opening night in cinema history.

While posing on the carpet in their glittering gowns and suits, the stars commented on their nerves and excitement for the public to finally see this monumental finale to eleven years and twenty two films in the MCU. Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow) claims she is eager for the film to hit cinemas: "I just want the movie to come out so I don't have to hold anything in anymore". She described the anxiety she feels at events such as these, saying: "I feel scared that at any given moment I'm about to let some secret just fly out of my mouth". Executive Producer Louis D'Esposito was somewhat in agreement, refusing to give a comment on the film as he fears "all of it is a spoiler".

Fans are already anticipating an emotional end to the decade-long saga, and Mark Ruffalo (Hulk) warned that there would be tears: "Bring some diapers [presumably due to the 3-hour-long running time] and Kleenex boxes, that's all I have to say." Danai Gurira (Okoye) reiterated the sentiment, saying: "That was a traumatic mess for everybody at the end of that movie." Jon Favreau (Happy Hogan and the director of 'Iron Man' in 2008) was wistful about the past, reminiscing over the origins of the franchise, and Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man) joked that Favreau was the man who "started it all".

If the words of the cast members are not enough to hype up fans' excitement, these spoiler free reactions to the screening also promise an epic conclusion:

While watching #AvengersEndgame, I laughed so loud, I clapped with so much force, and I cried so hard. The movie exceeds every expectation and is the perfect culmination of the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe.
