Avengers leading ladies prove they are Marvels of fashion!
THE flesh-flashing fashions worn by stars of the new Avengers film were certainly something to marvel at during the Los Angeles premiere.
Scarlett Johansson, 34, who plays Black Widow in Avengers: Endgame, led the way in a low-cut silver sequined Versace dress that some onlookers said resembled chainmail.
Brie Larson, 29, who plays Captain Marvel, wore a slinky pale lavender satin gown. Karen Gillan, 31, sported a quirky tasselled red top and black miniskirt, with large bows on her shoes while Gwyneth Paltrow, 46, wore an oversize blazer and high-necked black mini dress.
Benedict Cumberbatch, 42, attended with his wife Sophie, 41.
The film, the fourth about the Marvel Comics superheroes, is released in the UK tonight. The previous Avengers film – which saw several of the superhero team wiped out – was a hit and Endgame is expected to be just as successful.
Tickets for midnight screenings across the UK sold out within minutes and even crashed some cinemas websites.
Acinematic juggernaut roared into London last night. avengers: endgame is one of the most expensive movies ever made, and not only celebrates superpowers on the screen, but also in the audience.
at any rate, only those with super-bladders will stay in their seats throughout. i didn’t. Give or take a minute or two ( give, actually), avengers: endgame lasts a mighty three hours.
it is the thunderous finale to the series of 22 blockbuster films that between them constitute the grandiosely-titled marvel cinematic Universe.
the mcU will soldier on after endgame – after all, it has already generated more than $18billion box- office dollars, making it the most lucrative franchise of all time, and no film producer worth his Bentley convertible turns his back on that kind of loot.
But this is unequivocally, categorically, unambiguously (unless of course the men with fat cigars change their minds) the end of the road for the avengers as a turbo-charged gang of vigilantes with a brief to save the universe from super-villainy.
endgame sweeps us up more or less from the point where last year’s avengers: infinity War abruptly set us down.
that movie, if i might express it topically in champions League football terms, was merely the first leg of two, and we resume here with our superheroes very much on the losing side.
they have been out- muscled by thanos (Josh Brolin), an enormous genocidal maniac with a corrugated jaw who has already destroyed half the cosmos in the deluded conviction that he’s doing a favour to the survivors by giving them more living space. another genocidal maniac, adolf Hitler, called it ‘Lebensraum’.
Like infinity War, endgame is directed by brothers Joe and anthony Russo from a script by christopher markus and Stephen mcFeely.
So unsurprisingly, it has the same potent blend of spectacular action and lively wit. a scene in which the demigod thor (chris Hemsworth) is found
