Inside The World Premiere Of 'Avengers: Infinity War'

Hollywood, CA — The Marvel superheroes took everyone’s breath away Monday night during the world premiere of “Avengers: Infinity War.” The film has been hailed as the studio’s most-anticipated movie of the year because of its sheer magnitude in concept, execution and storyline, which involves the Avengers and their allies uniting to fight their most powerful enemy yet. (Don't worry, we won't spoil the movie for you.)

Almost as impressive as the movie itself was the lineup of superheroes lighting up the purple carpet at the premiere. They, of course, included "Avengers" stars Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Mark Ruffalo, Tom Holland, Evangeline Lilly, Paul Rudd, Elizabeth Olsen and Chris Hemsworth.

Other celebrities in attendance were Chadwick Boseman, Chris Pratt, Bradley Cooper, Benedict Cumberbatch, Sebastian Stan, Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Zoe Saldana, Brie Larson, Tom Hiddleston, Josh Brolin, Vin Diesel, David Bautista and many more.

Before the screening began, Downey Jr., whose original “Iron Film” kicked off the Marvel Cinematic Universe 10 years ago, gave an impassioned speech. In it, he paid tribute to Marvel Studios for its ingenuity to intermesh 19 films and counting within its cinematic universe. “This is a miracle,” the actor said. “And if any one of us took credit, it would be heresy. It would be blasphemy.”

Downey Jr. also honored his cast mates, who were beaming with pride and enthusiasm on stage. “The present is this moment of glory for all of us,” he mentioned. “And the future? That is always uncertain. But looking at these friends behind me, it seems like things might brighten up after all.”

“This is the MCU, right in front of you,” he continued. “It’s all about fighting for equality. The whole idea is to make space for others to succeed and exceed our expectations.”

“'Infinity War' was a team effort of all the Avengers and their allies,” Downey also said, adding that they were “all competing with each other” for the fans.

“Avengers: Infinity War” opens on Friday, April 27. Check out the photos from the event, below:
