Avengers: Age of Ultron World Premiere

Today is the premiere of Avengers: Age of Ultron a.k.a. the movie I’ve been geeking about for three years now. In honor of this glorious event, I wanted to take a minute to share how wonderful and surreal it’s been to be part of the Marvel Family. For two years now, I’ve been hosting Marvel’s Live Red Carpet Show for all their world premieres.

For Thor: The Dark World, I co-hosted alongside Tamara Krinsky and E!’s Ben Lyons. This was my first time as part of the Disney/Marvel Universe, and man it felt good! Not only was I correspondent on the red carpet, I also MC’d a few events at the El Capitan theater afterwards with Stan Lee and Jamie Alexander.

For Captain America: The Winter Soldier, it was just the two of us girls. I worked that red carpet for Cap, presenting from the heart of the television interview area, to the arrivals, and introducing the entire cast in a firework finish at the end of the carpet.

Last summer, which seems like just yesterday, I donned my favorite Jetsons-inspired outfit (and my only Jetsons-inspired outfit) for The Guardians of The Galaxy premiere. This was an especially incredible event as the premiere was held across the street from the usual El Capitan location to The Dolby Theater. You may have heard of this theater, I don’t know, maybe because of a little show called the Oscars? So, being on that stage, introducing the cast of Guardians of The Galaxy, and pretending I was Ellen was pretty much as good as the real thing as far as I’m concerned.

So, in honor of all the joy is this Universe has brought me, here are some of my favorite Marvel moments.

Congratulations to Marvel’s Captain America: The Winter Soldier!

So much to celebrate!

 

 

So proud of everyone at Marvel and Disney. I am so honored to be a part of the Marvel Universe.

This was an excellent film all the way through, from the plot, acting, producing, writing, directing, producing, and incredible martial arts. The latter was so amazing that I have actually started taking Krav Maga lessons. Stay tuned for that blog post… if I’m still in one piece.

 

Now we just have to find ways to make the time go by before Guardians of the Galaxy and Avengers: Age of Ultron.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier World Premiere

Cap is Back!! And Better Than Ever!!

I first heard whispers about the greatness of Captain America: The Winter Soldier when I was covering the Thor: The Dark WorlCapAppleBoxd premiere for Marvel. At that time, only the elevator scene had been released, and, wow, was that great foreshadowing for what was to come.

This movie is absolutely incredible. It’s a 70’s spy thriller meets Marvel cinematic craziness. The utilization of handheld camera movements, mixed martial arts fight scenes, and a modern-day plot keeps this movie “grounded,” but it still has all the wit, larger-than-life characters, and over-the-top special effects that we’ve come to expect from Marvel movies. To put it simply, I’m seriously contemplating whether this is my favorite Marvel movie- yes, even above Avengers and Iron Man.

It was such a pleasure to be working the red carpet again for Marvel. The red carpet live coverage for the Captain America: The Winter Soldier world premiere was streamed on Marvel.com, Yahoo!, Zing Revolution, and on the El Capitan Theater billboard.

Thor: The Dark World for Marvel Live on Yahoo!

Yesterday was a good day.

Yep, that’s an understatement!

I was literally the first person on the red carpet for last night’s Thor: The Dark World North American premiere covering arrivals for Marvel Live on Yahoo! along with Ben Lyons and Tamara Krinsky. They just happen to be my two new favorite people. I only give bunny ears to people I like.

The night was insane. It started with this: Fotor1105141833

I know I just objectified Jaimie Alexander, who plays Lady Sif in the upcoming Thor: The Dark World, by saying “this”, but c’mon, wow! Jaimie pulled a Gwyneth Paltrow and looked amazing. I would know, I was right next to her and totally checked her out… in a completely professional, objective journalism sort of way. 😉

Girl is in shape! Jaimie said she did a lot of martial arts training and pilates for Thor: TDW. I do pilates. Maybe I should start looking into martial arts training…

Jaimie started the evening on an excellent note not only with taking her dress to the next level, but also by arriving 15 minutes EARLY!! That’s unheard of in Hollywood! Chris Hemsworth, the Mighty Avenger himself, arrived just 15 minutes after the red carpet officially opened. And he was only “late” because he was busy filming Jimmy Kimmel. Boy has some great excuses, just ask Jane Foster.

Thor: The Dark World is an excellent movie. I was able to see it last week and it’s great to see our favorite characters in a post-Avengers world. It has a lot more nods to fans, but also has a great storyline/action for people that are just entering the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In The Avengers I had a moment where I was like, “Aw, hell no!” during the Battle of New York (I won’t give it away, but people can guess for themselves), and within the first 30 minutes of Thor: TDW I had that same reaction.

If you’re going to see it this Friday November 8th, make sure you stay until the very end. There are 2 bonus scenes!

In case you missed the action last night, here’s Marvel’s Thor: The Dark World on Marvel Live on Yahoo!
