The Avengers: Endgame cast assembled at Disneyland Resort this week to support the Avengers Universe Unites charity campaign. Along with Disney CEO Robert Iger, the stars announced a $5 million donation to Starlight Children’s Foundation. And after the event was finished, several actors stayed on to enjoy some of the attractions.
Jeremy Renner, for instance, has taken to Instagram with a short video of himself, Scarlett Johansson, Chris Hemsworth, Paul Rudd and various supporting personnel sitting down for the Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: Breakout! ride.
With just three weeks to go until the release of Endgame, the press tour for the Avengers: Infinity War sequel is now in full swing. While directors Anthony and Joe Russo have attended events in Las Vegas and India in the last few days, the cast is set to take over Jimmy Kimmel Live! with a week of guest appearances.
The big day to watch out for is Monday, when Johansson, Rudd, Hemsworth and Robert Downey Jr. all join Kimmel on the ABC talk show. After that, Danai Gurira is scheduled to appear on Tuesday, followed by Renner on Wednesday and Don Cheadle on Thursday.
In the meantime, Marvel has given us a whole load of promotional material to pore over this week, including various posters, promos and a 1-minute trailer that was released to coincide with tickets becoming available.
Speaking of which, Avengers: Endgame also got off to a phenomenally strong start in its pre-sales, which have likely factored into the movie’s generous opening weekend projections. One report from Deadline, for example, suggested that the film could debut with a domestic haul close to $300 million. Not too shabby, you can judge for yourself if the pic is worth all the hype when it arrives in theaters on April 26th.
