Chadwick Boseman on the red carpet for the Los Angeles premiere of 'Avengers: Age Of Ultron', April 13th 2015.
Exactly ten years ago today I covered the Los Angeles premiere of 'Avengers: Age Of Ultron' at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, California.
First, the cast arrived to promote the film on the "Jimmy Kimmel Live" show, which tapes just across the street from the theater. The alley behind the JKL studio is a well known hotspot for paparazzi and graphers (autograph sellers) as well as tourists looking to spot a star. Most of my shots were crap, and none of the stars came down to sign autographs like they do sometimes. But I did get one decent shot of Chris Hemsworth flashing a peace sign before entering the studio.
After all of that, I went back out to Hollywood Blvd for the premiere red carpet. Unfortunately I had no press credentials this time to get access to the red carpet, so I was hoping some of the celebrities would cross the street to sign autographs. A few did, but none of the big names, so it was mostly not worth all of the effort I put into the day because the credentialed photogs got clean shots and I got garbage. However, this was the only time I ever got a shot of Chadwick Boseman, so I'm glad I went.
My previous post of Robert Downey Jr was from the early days of the MCU. So much had happened in the interim five years. The MCU had blossomed into the biggest movie franchise ever, and was just starting to get a bit bloated. And so much more has happened in the past ten years. This film was a year BEFORE Chadwick Boseman's MCU debut in 'Civil War', and five years later, he was gone.
What's your take on 'Avengers: Age Of Ultron' after ten years? Does it hold up? Leave a comment.
