THE HAMMER CATCH,
AVENGERS: ENDGAME
In the theatre watching the scene where Captain America is able to summon Thor’s hammer, everyone in the place lost their minds! I’ve never witnessed a crowd reaction like that.

KEVIN FEIGE: My experience watching Endgame for the first time with a real audience at the Village Theater in Westwood on opening night was the most emotionally rewarding and overwhelming experience of my professional life.
JOE RUSSO: The energy was electric. The first chapter of the grand Marvel experiment coming to a close. A communal catharsis played out over those three hours. Cheers, gasps, tears. I was a kid again. Goosebumps.
CHRIS EVANS: The first time
I saw Endgame was at the premiere. Normally I see the films I work on well in advance, and I rarely sit through premieres (too much anxiety). But being the last instalment of a ten-year journey, I wanted to experience this final film the same way the audience would. When Cap lifts Mjölnir, our theatre went absolutely berserk. Even though I knew the moment was coming, I still got emotional. In the following weeks, friends and family would send me clips from theatres around the world losing their collective shit at this moment. Seeing those reactions, and knowing that I was lucky enough to be a part of those memories for those people, made me feel a sense of pride and gratitude that I’ll never be able to properly express. In those moments I’m not an actor, or even an adult; I’m a little kid again completely captivated by the power and magic that movies can wield. Damn it... I’m getting choked up.
