Film Synopsis

Marvel Studios’ Thor: Love and Thunder finds the God of Thunder (Chris Hemsworth) on a journey unlike anything he’s ever faced – one of self-discovery. But his efforts are interrupted by a galactic killer known as Gorr the God Butcher (Christian Bale), who seeks the extinction of the gods. To combat the threat, Thor enlists the help of King Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson), Korg (Taika Waititi) and ex-girlfriend Jane Foster (Natalie Portman), who – to Thor’s surprise – inexplicably wields his magical hammer, Mjolnir, as the Mighty Thor. Together, they embark upon a harrowing cosmic adventure to uncover the mystery of the God Butcher’s vengeance and stop him before it’s too late.

Directed by Taika Waititi (“Thor: Ragnarok,” “Jojo Rabbit”), from a screenplay by Waititi & Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, Thor: Love and Thunder was produced by Kevin Feige and Brad Winderbaum.

AVENGERS: ENDGAME

AVENGERS: ENDGAME

By Erin

Avengers Endgame

As we all know by now, the grave course of events set in motion by Thanos wiped out half the universe and fractured the Avengers ranks, compelling the remaining Avengers to take one final stand in Marvel Studios’ grand conclusion to twenty-two films, “Avengers: Endgame.” Kevin Feige produces “Avengers: Endgame,” and Anthony and Joe Russo are the directors. Louis D’Esposito, Victoria Alonso, Michael Grillo, Trinh Tran, Jon Favreau, James Gunn and Stan Lee are the executive producers, and Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely wrote the screenplay. Marvel Studios’ “Avengers: Endgame” is in U.S. theaters on April 26, 2019!

The press junket for the film took place a few weekends ago in Los Angeles. Do you notice something missing here? So many empty seats…The seats were left open for our fallen heroes. Heroes such as Black Panther, Vision, Scarlet Witch, Bucky Barnes, Gamora, and Star-Lord to name a few. It was a weird, eerie feeling at the junket with so many missing. Can you say awkward? Those that survived the snap were here. Here is who was in attendance!

·        Robert Downey Jr. (“Tony Stark / Iron-Man”)

 ·      Chris Evans (“Steve Rogers / Captain America”)

·         Chris Hemsworth (“Thor”)

·         Scarlett Johansson (“Natasha Romanoff / Black Widow”)

·         Mark Ruffalo (“Bruce Banner / The Hulk”)

·         Jeremy Renner (“Clint Baron / Hawkeye”)

·         Brie Larson (“Carol Danvers / Captain Marvel”)

·         Don Cheadle (“James Rhodes / War Machine”)

·         Paul Rudd (“Scott Lang / Ant-Man”)

·         Karen Gillan (“Nebula”)

·         Danai Gurira (“Okoye”)

·         Directors Anthony & Joe Russo

·         Producer Kevin Feige

Moderator: Jon Favreau

None of us had seen the movie yet and in order to not give out any spoilers, most of the questions were about what being part of the Avengers has meant to the cast and other questions totally not related to the film.

Here are some other interesting things we learned.

Kevin Feige thought that what’s special about the film is all the actors on this stage, all the actors who are not on this stage. The family that has come together this decade and the fact that, Robert said it so well in the trailer, part of the journey is the end.  Four or five years ago, we all started talking about doing something at every turn including the first Iron Man film. We talked about, how can we do something that’s never been done before. What if a super hero outs his identity at the very last shot of the movie? We can’t do that? No one does that. You can’t do that. What would we do next time? I don’t know. Let’s do it. Four or five years ago, we talked about, what haven’t we seen in films based on comic characters? We haven’t seen an ending. A definitive conclusion to an overall saga. So that’s why it’s called End Game and why I think it’s very, very, very special.

Scarlett Johansson shared that the best part of playing Black Widow during the years is seeing how much the character has evolved since her first appearance in “Iron Man 2.” Black Widow first started as a sort of sexy secretary with a skill set on the side.
