already stopped it which means I guess then you never know I I gotta see in the screening tomorrow Frank died tomorrow I'm gonna be I'm gonna be confused we'll see did that answer your question not really okay good excellent excellent question excellent answer okay I'm doing it blind I'm not looking this says oh oh this says you could this is a category so you can ask anybody a question who is from what come yeah from what kinda yeah I see a couple of events I must go with the first one so this lovely lady here in the second row please give her the microphone thank you my name is Maggie I'm from Disney I'm also a high school math teacher in Los Angeles and my question is for Leticia [Applause] hello so I use a lot of harmful content in my lessons to keep my students engaged and I was wondering how you see your role as a really powerful and fun woman on screen in math and science as inspiring kids and teens to pursue STEM fields well I think you kind of covered it yeah it's something that's super new to me to play this character and to have a character who's just interested in all of these amazing subject matters I wish I had a Sheree on TV or in the movies that I could see when I was growing up and I would have stayed at my math classes a little bit longer but I'm really happy that the film and this character Sheree has allowed young kids to feel like learning is cool and that they can contribute in to the tip to the world with you know science and maths and technology and engineering and also young women as well getting pulled into that whole movement of feeling like it's not just a thing for the guys it's also for the for the young women too young men young women older women you know anyone to just get get into and and contribute positively so to have that and for you to use it in your classroom and for many other people to use it to super grateful and I just hope it continues and it's positive in its cleared in its it's a good thing so thank you god bless you [Applause] dodge shield Don Cheadle I'm showing you this here you can keep this you have your hand up right there hi mark used with Forbes and I'm wondering on in terms of each characters are being served in infinity war your character obviously had someone contracted or the last time I saw you Civil War can you talk about thanks vision can you talk about a little bit about preparing for infinity war and carrying over that it's something that you know all the characters have attractive these and things in life that your character is dealing with something very immediate to have to overcome on top of everything else that's being faced here well what I think is really great about having something like this in a way to anchor a lot of the other things that are happening in the story and getting to continue it forward through through both of those bells is that you know we get to we always get to have these sort of down notes in a good way I think there's always a lot of eye candy and very dramatic things happening and big spectacular fight some really amazing things that we see on screen and then it comes down to these characters in their interpersonal situations with one another and their personal journeys that they have and where it comes to Rhodey I'm glad this is something that's carried through and that is you know wasn't just dropped it's a line that is actually goes through both of the films and and and comes into play in a very important way I won't give it away but it's something that factors in all the way through so it's nice to have something that's cohesive and continues and keeps keeps me grounded keeps the character grounded [Applause] Hey so you can ask a question if you have a question for somebody who wears a cape okay where do I see you waving you've got somewhat of a cape on yourself never fair I'm throwing this ball never land question for Chris Hemsworth cuz I'm a big dork man and what I wanted to know was what scene now I know what you can see the movie yet so you might have to dance around this but what scene did you find most challenging to film for this movie and why was it because of the people in it was it because of the director so very difficult because of the directors and that people another awful experience myself Jeff and Tom we got back to our own movies now on the most people the first day was what you've seen on the when the trailers was for meeting with the audience and it felt what kind of first day at school for me you know because I only owe each other and I didn't I was a new kid and they don't been shooting and I had and I took weird to the nervous butterflies floating around my body and but I miss but I squeeze them out of me Christopher's Brad got a big hug know about a force whatever years did you have money on you is that were there floating on your body I've been impossible I'm still tripping that was a fun scene that was great too you know to kind of have it your whole new dynamic and set of people to move around with the interact with and never thought this whole film for me will you suffer like a fan and meeting a lot of these people and the characters that aren't watched on screen admired and so they be on screen with him as for widows Chris also is pretty damn exciting [Applause] [Music] Kevin Feige thank you thank me hi I'm ruff walks on wave action take your jockeys I'm an old school comics fan I'm a little overwhelmed just seeing all of you here together it's it's kind of mind-blowing it's very hard to wrap our heads around the totality of what's happening but you've always kept the spirit of the comics and the spirit of you know the Stanley Jack Kirby Marvel comics and I'm wondering if you might share some insight is to look like if there's anything you used to brown these movies in their in their origins beyond as the characters and the stories anything visually anything somatically that you've used to sort of pull all this together well in its you will not be surprised that here's the comics it's the it's the comics that we look at usually when there is just the notion of let's do an Iron Man movie or let's have the audacity to try to do a version of the Infinity Gauntlet it starts with those comics and us beginning to rip pages out or rip copies of pages out put them on the walls and start to be inspired and in every single movie we've made up to and especially infinity war there are direct images storylines rarely but sometimes actual lines of dialogue that come from those pages that we've that we've put up around our development room for inspiration and with and with Infineon work in particular when there were so many characters and so many threads of storylines from so many movies that we could have pulled from or could have used as inspiration and we did we kept going back to and I think we've released some behind the scene videos and things and you can see the giant omnibus of the Infinity Gauntlet there with all sorts of dog-eared pages and and post-its in there from moments and after he sees the movie we could talk more specifically about what those moments were most of them were surrounding mr. Berlin's Thanos portrayal that came directly from Jim starlings work there so it is always a guide point it's a North Star for as we lead these giant productions into reality our right from those books and where it all started take anymore ping-pong balls by name out of it please that a lot of stars here Jeff a lot of movie stars Oh interesting so if you're to ask a question or volunteer to be considered for be called on for questions if you if you are green well I think maybe they mean if somebody here is green or if you are grieving all set all says here is if you're green if you are green so if you are green you are green you're not but you'd like to ask somebody who is green in the sense green not not a new newbie hi one for Dennis rented him an affair and this is for Sonja stole from the famous want to be part of it and obviously I wanted to know how that dimension sort of pushed your portrayal of Gomorrah for because obviously it's a sort of very emotional psychological journey for her so if you could talk about that well echoing what Don was saying that besides you know these kinds of movies carrying so much action and entertainment and visual effects that really cater to to all of our senses and we wouldn't we wouldn't be what we are and think in the Marvel Universe if it wasn't for those emotional beats that all of these interrelationships carry and and that obviously in this and you know that nut thread involves a relationship between parent and child and and I will speak on behalf of also caring Dylan's character nebula we so much fun with the ark that the Russo brothers and obviously Kevin feige's you know spearheading this with the relationship that these daughters have with their father because they finally get an opportunity to sort of address what did what it was like to to have a dad that's so complicated so it was it was fantastic it was great pass that around the class oh my gosh so nobody foresaw this I think this may be well I don't know zoe saldana [Applause] I don't know we want another question for somebody or maybe we want to spread the around what not necessarily no no you want to somebody else have a question for Zoe I don't know you'd like to give your turn away anybody have a question for Zoe yes yes you too yes please yes hi I'm Lynette tishell with black boom calm and obviously my question is for the gorgeous Zoe so I my question is you kind of we got to see you first and then you get to see everybody as but Panther has happened people of color joining in these superhero roles and you were just so transcending it so crown setting for me to see somebody like you on screen and so when I saw the black campaign universe I added in I was overwhelmed how do you feel knowing that we as people of color are receiving more and more representation in this Marvel Universe I I'm happy I'm super super happy to be an American right now too to be in the end human industry to be considered a public figure and to also be given the opportunities by by leaders such as art studio heads when they when they take on that the task of broadening the narrative for our stories it's it's um it's planned simple I think that as as actors regardless of our race and our gender we just want to be given an equal opportunity to to be able to be chameleons and continue growing and connect with our audiences so when directors and writers and producers understand that change needs to come from within as public figures we have the responsibility to take the lead and broadening that narrative it just makes someone like me who would be nothing but a positive recipient super happy because I know what that means for our future generations I have three sons and nothing is making me happier keep saying happy but it's true to know that they are going to inherit an influx of light storytelling through media and that that represents them it makes them feel seen and heard and that their lives and their their heritage matters but but but only through their merits so that way I'm just really happy about that three sons you have three three sons three sons your three sons we have to live to a two-and-a-half-year-old a one-year-old I don't know how you doing Scarlett Johansson Scarlett yes yes hello my name is Joshua from th and I have on behalf of the Chinese fans marbles are would like to ask one question so we're kind of quite interested to know what would be the fashion alamos Avengers and Vinny were uses in the movies fashion elements I got the fashion question I honestly really don't know how to answer that question the fashion elements I wear a leather unitard for the precipice and I happen for the last ten years so if you think of any fashion elements that you would like to include please let us know I I have a new best everyone so that was pretty exciting and and I have a new hairstyle as well you haven't noticed already it's a little bit better I think I can see it's fine it was the choice I made [Applause] chris hemsworth internals tonight both off having a blue light blue su how did that happen all right let me see let me see hey this ball is F this ball is blank this is like in in Scrabble when you when you see Anthony Mackie does it somebody see let me see everyone has a question yes yes the lady the lady in the fashion statement there with in black white black and white hi my name is Tiffany with attractions magazine and I just want to know with such a star-studded cast do you find it like difficult or any obstacles there's a super special to kind of develop your character a little bit more when you're struggling for screen time and all these amazing stories getting told like what was the special difficulties or was it just all amazing you know are you asking Anthony Mann Act if he has a hard time getting attention oh it's my clarifying that that's what you're asking I wanna put this down to [ __ ] well Tiffany why the hands once said that some men need an hour to make their presence felt some 30 seconds [Applause] is he all right you Jeff baby yeah hey look at this you're my witness oh yes top everyone has a question on a telepathic quest yes you yes here's everybody that's pretty incredible huh Tom obviously you have a new suit in this the iron spider ear calling you just want to know what can tell us about it was alike what do you around in it I'm actually under strict instructions to keep my mouth shut no I didn't actually get to wear the iron spider suit because it's too amazing to exist in real life so I joined the wonderful Mark Ruffalo the man canceling costume and stood amongst these gods wearing pajamas wasn't quite as heroic as I liked and I haven't seen the film yet so I can't sell you want it does in real life Witter but no I don't be amazing and [Applause] an addicted cumberbatch yes yes yes in the fest the man in the shorts Lee they'd be at Norton the Norton outfit you can see he nephew in Teresa you can read this Creed but they're also brothers also say that no actor can read and reel or finer screen so I just want to get to the bottom of that thank you so much I read the script whether I read the script is for them to know I'm me to find out when I see the movie smart but whatever script you read it's never the film is it so it always changes in these guys plus it every day sometimes after the day sometimes will be probably replacing this and December even after the film is out they never stop at this wheelhouse it's a busy place to work and so whatever I read is not necessarily what you're going to see so I couldn't tell you stuff about it but it would make any difference [Applause] it says I knew it I never hide nor to chadwick boseman yes sir hi Chadwick I know we have to wait a long time for Black Panther to but how much of Avengers infinity war is at least Black Panther 1.5 [ __ ] infinity war is Avengers infinity is it's not black better than 1.4 our black method to work or anything like that I think we have a strong presence within the movie and it was it was great to to have some of these people like I say exactly in Wakanda but it is his own movie and it was great to to go from what we did and with black panther and bring some of that into its all event it was it was a relief actually but it's it's own thing [Music] [Applause] well someone must have a question so well you already had a question wait a minute were your kid you can't hog oh yes yes that lady over there in the corner hi um so I'm not sure in question no no no I so when your character from what we love a feeder she joins the guardians is there any growth that your character goes through especially since dealing with the sarcastic characters and and also a dress you know you guys have a funny dynamic together so does she get a little tougher because she has to deal with them on a daily basis now maybe a little bit but she still she still has this kind of a childlike kind of way of thinking and she asks a lot of questions anything it brings some comedy and sometimes you know these movies need some you know some fun I mean I think they're really fun too but you know it needs a little bit of you know innocence and yeah so I any think I think she's gonna evolve a little bit more maybe in the next one but this one I think she's still you know kind of the same Oh big weird perfect say this says wow this is funny that some of this could be here it says wildcard parentheses moderators choice oh my gosh well I want everybody likes I whenever I want to hear from everybody personally let me see this I'm very interested in saddles who has a question for the shared yes yes yes yes buddy Jeff what basically I want to know it from the trailer it looks like you know you're here fighting everybody but you look like maybe impressed with a few people can you tell me who then this is most impressed with it that he needs I looked in the trailer like I was impressed by other people yeah and obviously I didn't do my job being a person of the color purple and being naked on the set the whole time I was doing this in order to create a vibe of fear I really thought that I scared everybody but apparently not when it was there somebody I was impressed by oh Anthony Mackie strangely enough it only took 25 seconds for me [Applause] everybody has their weakness and Anthony Mackie is Stannis as weakness who is also naked on set by the way thank you so much for your question hi Courtney Howard TV your great storyteller I'm wondering if there are any sort of anecdotes that you have from the set do you could possibly tell us any of your best moments best memories playing vision in any of the Avengers movies well snitches end up in ditches and all the best anecdotes are just unsayable but you know we've been making these movies for a long time when we've all been through it's a really unique experience for actors to get to keep working with the same people again and again and again we've all gone through real-life stuff together people have had children even look up Mary people got divorced you know I mean a lot of real life stuff has happened and we've all become real friends and I've never been on a set where people choose not to go back to their trailers but hang out on set and make fun of each other in this it's been a real it's been a real privilege so hydrated get hydrated this guy guy yes yes he's filming in - he's filming him hi Chris I was just wondering how it feels for star-lord from Peter quill to be seeing Earthlings for the first time in almost 30 years [Laughter] scarlet someone takes cards yeah that's a good question you know it borders on you know might be best see for you to see it so I'm gonna talk about bass fishing okay April as you know it's a big month right now my patterns like eight and a half inch salamander power Berkeley power salamander usually I do chartreuse yeah yeah one and a half I use like one on Gamakatsu hook with a Texas rig full of wait six pound tests fish is slow you have to fish slow Robert Downey jr. I'm not afraid [Applause] sorry we all get along very well I have two things to say one is I've been so pond hearing that we are doing this bingo style in Harper but most of all that this [ __ ] national treasure [Applause] for that question once everyone else on all three of these tiers is finished answering questions that's that's a that's a great answer answer in itself yes say this is nothing this is nothing more nothing o ask a question in the category of a guardian a guardian you must ask a question of a guardian you can either you know you know the movies well yes yes yes yes yes that's our new question I'm not sure there's too many people who want to kill thanos or the Drax so well what is it like to work with Josh and just have that encounter if it ever happened you know spoiler here free is we're seeing it tomorrow don't waste it now all right I'll be a kill time wide try to think of a way to answer this without giving anything away ask me about my fashion sense yes I got this I got this beautiful necklace from the Russo brothers to me especially for the Avengers yeah so it's beautiful and back to your question I can't answer obviously I haven't seen the movie don't know anything about the movie don't know I think what storyline haven't read the script haven't read one the fake scripts back to my fashion sense Drax as you've noticed has been wearing the same dirty ass pants for a movie after movie after movie and I'm just hoping I would love to have a new best that's what apparently Drax has sensitive nipples you will never be covered anyway thank you for your wonderful question Wow very enthusiastic very enthusiastic there you must speak my name is mess up right below you my baby is kicking like crazy right now um my question is will we see Agent Coulson come back or the Avengers possibly all these unanswerable questions what can I say other than talk about bass fishing some more but um I snitches and ditches you know this is a very we uh when we began developing this movie you know we sat in a room with Kevin and Joe and I Markus and McFeely the writers and we think we took we took a we had a picture of every single person who's who's been character that's been in the MCU we hung it up on the wall all around us and we we basically spent months and months and months talking about where we could go with each character how we could draw them through the story thinking about the very every every one of these characters everybody on this stage has been on a very specific journey through the MCU that to arrive at this moment and it was a very long creative process that we went through thinking about where we could take the story where we could take the characters how we can combine the characters in interesting ways and it was about the most fun creative exercise I think I've ever been through in my life because it was just us sitting in a room for months and months telling each other stories about these characters 99 percent of which didn't make their way into the movie but uh I will say that that was our process we thought about everybody in the MCU we thought about how they could play a role in the story moving forward and starting tomorrow you will see the movie that's how you answer a question without saying anything we bricked everyone shares with an electro shocker Jeff and I have a button here in case of spoil anything I press it I almost had to use it on my brother which were really unfortunate for our relationship it was between the brothers kay it was between the brothers kay what's wrong Godfather - Godfather - okay hey Sir James would just hand not James Woods but James would just hand me this peace baby we want to get to everybody so we're gonna disband the hopper and now get to make sure we get to Winston Duke next yes yes yes you must most what's up this is DJ binami from fair bro show and what's up Winston and everyone of us congratulations thank you for everything y'all done and I just want to ask you how will you explain to people info Conda gets destroyed in this infinity war the question of the night and the day of the afternoon um as you know I can't say anything so great question thanks for asking that one I didn't read a script I did not see anything and Kevin is in the room trying to set me up on my second movie thank you but yeah it's gonna be a fun adventure you're gonna enjoy it so that's all I can tell you but tell us who made that fabulous jacket our body Giorgio Armani mommio very good very good and we must hear from the great Mark Ruffalo so yes yes with the device with the glowing device okay hi I'm Craig sleeve from geek beat and the first thing I have to say is Paul Bettany gangster number one is one of my favorite movies ever like I can never stop oh that's what you are my mom and that's about it thank you oh thank you so much Shawn my question to you is a certain director yesterday hoped for Avengers fatigue to which I said rude followed by so for the reason how do you guys handle it the faults that by the way I just want James Cameron I said but how do you how do you guys when you're when you're writing the script you have so many characters now witches forget awesome how do you have yep well the hours I spent writing the script I I thought about that quite a bit and you know sour grapes you know I've and rolled out too hard actually my question to you is when you're doing all this environmental stuff do do you feel something when you bring it to work like do you try to make people aware I Drive a Prius I wear a hemp shoe I have LED light bulbs I think I don't I try not to be a you know that one person who's always going on about an issue but I can't help myself and I think more than anything I'm trying to use my time outside of the movies to to make my friends know that it's safe to speak out about the things they care about and that it's important for them and it's actually enriching as an artist and no matter what that thing is whether its environmental issues or social justice issues or quality issues or education or all the really wonderful things there are to do today the front in front of us and and in that way I felt I feel like I could be the most impactful with this gift that I've been given sitting up here with these tremendously talented people [Applause] but back to the script a question who has a question for Elizabeth Olsen yeah hi my name is Jeremy Chou from the scholastic it's press corps and I recently heard that you would love it if Scala which got her own films so what do you think Scotty bleach could bring to the table if she did have her own solo film yeah I was talking over the last part of your question if she Paul and I joke a lot about how much we would love to do like a House of M spin-off and it really domesticated in the version of it and I think that would be a lot of fun it's there at that part of her story is the reason why I love this character so much and I mean I'm just happy that I still included so I don't need a mic you just bring me back this is really the greatest past we got to work with the best crew and got to work with people who are the best at their jobs and so there's nothing like this experience anywhere else and we're all very lucky to be here and enjoy each other's company all the time yes hi I've heard rumors that some of the women in the Marvel Universe have pitched mister Feige and all-female Marvel movie what could you talk about about that there any news on that part you know I think I'm psychic I thought I was gonna be asked that question well I did I did I I'm gonna be upset so she that I know nothing about um yeah I I've heard the same rumors also meet you know I've heard a few over them that's told me about it though yeah I was I was I've heard through the grapevine but no I I know no details on on that I was just thinking how excited I am about brie Larson's shooting Captain Marvel right now [Applause] pretty awesome venture but I mean the awesome thing that I think is happening that we see happening across many dimensions and in our entertainment industries we're seeing more women take the helm in various realms and that is not only about time but it'll make the world a better place I think so yes please ladies well lookey is by far my favorite character in the Marvel Universe with Falcon and slash pretty quickly behind him but I'm curious for you Tom who is your favorite character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and why does that matter though my friends that's a really good question I I'm not gonna I'm not gonna I'm not gonna pick anybody else my brother from another mother no listen it's it's I am astonished that I'm still here as as you may be and Loki is fallen through a wormhole and and faked his own death and I never honestly never expected to be playing this part for so long I think many people can say that and the great privilege that I've had is working with every single person on this stage working even with the gentleman moderator we have in our in our midst and they're all great and every time it's like a different dance and this thing that because Kevin and everybody who works at Marvel and all the writers the writing has been so great they create these characters with such precision of what happens in the space between those characters is always unique and you're guaranteed to see that tomorrow night tonight we have one more and final question so so the anticipation of the end of this thank you all for coming and all of that so one more question I know for one more question we'll go to who do you think Sebastian we discharged our obligation yes I think this is this link in the front with the running suit with the I wonder do you think about he in this film it's kind of like the vacuum we know in the first Captain America movie I know so do you think ventures has except Bucky welcome okay yeah well I mean I think you definitely see you know shades of the the old so to speak you know Bucky in the situation for one thing I mean I guess the guy smiles finally but as far as accepted you know I wouldn't necessarily go as far as saying that I think he's you know he's just kind of seeing where his allies are he's been enjoying the coconut water and Conda and you know everything else is peachy it is good beautifully fun thank you so much the vengers infinity war [Applause]
