Chris Evans and Letitia Wright Surprise a Young Superfan With an ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ Red Carpet Invite
The ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ press tour has been full of new trailers, magazine covers, and big reveals. This week, though, one of its most memorable moments had nothing to do with explosions or multiverse twists. Instead, it gave a young Marvel fan a moment he won’t forget.
The surprise was part of a major UK charity night. BBC Children in Need’s live show, which featured stars from Strictly and Dune, raised £38m. The evening also included a sketch with Pudsey Bear pitching for donations on Dragons’ Den, and England and Arsenal captain Leah Williamson surprising a girls’ football team.
Then came the Marvel moment. Chris Evans and Letitia Wright surprised a young fan with a special invitation to the ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ red carpet event. The 18-second clip shows the young fan in a cinema setting, holding popcorn as the surprise happens.
BBC Children in Need shared the full surprise. It was made to celebrate the ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ release on December 16, and shows superfan Freddie getting the surprise of a lifetime when Letitia Wright invites him to a very special red carpet event. The invitation is for the red carpet at the European premiere of ‘Avengers: Doomsday’. The clip quickly spread across Marvel fan accounts.

The pairing of Evans and Wright fits the film’s message well. Having Wright appear alongside Evans reflects how ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ is being sold, with the original generation and the new one side by side. Evans brings the nostalgia, while Wright represents the future of Wakanda.

Both stars have major roles in the film. Wright returns as Shuri in a cast that stretches from Chris Hemsworth’s Thor to Vanessa Kirby’s Sue Storm. Evans is back as Steve Rogers, and he was also featured on one of Empire’s 4 collectible covers for the film, alongside Loki, Sue Storm, Gambit and Shang-Chi.

The young fan’s invite is part of a much larger promotional push. The ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ World Tour will stop in Las Vegas, São Paulo, Gold Coast, Rome, London, Seoul, Shanghai, Toronto and Los Angeles. The main world premiere is reportedly set for Los Angeles, although reports differ on the exact date.

With weeks of hype still to come, moments like this are a reminder of why these films matter to so many people. Superhero movies often inspire kids first, and seeing two Avengers personally invite a young superfan to the red carpet captures that spirit perfectly. Hopefully the young fan has an incredible time on the night. The red carpet will be packed with heroes from across the multiverse, but he will be one of its most special guests.
