Marvel.com invited one and all to experience the world premiere of the Marvel Studios’ film MARVEL’S THE AVENGERS live from Hollywood as the stars arrived at the legendary El Capitan Theatre. Sponsored by Harley-Davidson, this event brought people up close and personal with MARVEL’S THE AVENGERS like nothing else before. Heroes owned the red carpet at the El Capitan Theatre in L.A. and last night real life injured heroes were thanked for their service by Hollywood’s superheroes including Scarlett Johansson, Robert Downey Jr. and Samuel L. Jackson.

Scarlett Johansson described the red carpet as “a different kind of battle field” to the injured servicemen. Mark Ruffalo told the Wounded Warrior Alumni “I love the work you’re doing.”

In partnership with the Wounded Warrior Project, Red Baron was on the red carpet to recognize two servicemen that overcame wartime injuries and gave back to their communities. Not only did these two battle buddies share hugs with Mark Ruffalo and Chris Evans, they invited all the stars, and Stan Lee to autograph a specially-designed, one-of-a-kind poster that will be auctioned on eBay Giving Works to benefit the Wounded Warrior Project. Stan Lee wished Army Specialist Jason Braase (Ret.) and Marine Corporal Adam Harris (Ret.) “best of luck” in their recovery efforts and citing “it would be a pleasure” to autograph the custom poster.
