Marvel Launches Star-Studded 'Turn Off Your Phones' Theater Ad Featuring Your Favorite Avengers and X-Men

Before the multiverse collapses and Doctor Doom takes his throne, Marvel has released a fun theater ad featuring the cast of Avengers: Doomsday. This brief promo encourages viewers to silence their cellphones. The advertisement has begun airing in theaters alongside the release of Avengers: Endgame Encore, which also features additional footage shot during the production of Avengers: Doomsday. Many of Doomsday’s biggest names (but not Robert Downey Jr.) return for this silly skit, as members of the Avengers, New Avengers, X-Men, and Fantastic Four settle down to catch a movie while all in costume. Unfortunately, someone's smartphone promptly rings, causing everyone to complain.

While brief, it's still remarkable to see such a lineup of comic book heroes all in one shot—perhaps the most since Endgame's infamous portals scene. Included in the ad are Channing Tatum’s Gambit, Letitia Wright’s Shuri, Florence Pugh’s Yelena, Simu Liu’s Shang-Chi, James Marsden’s Cyclops, Pedro Pascal’s Mr. Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby’s Sue Storm, Chris Hemsworth’s Thor, Anthony Mackie’s Captain America, David Harbour’s Red Guardian, Sebastian Stan’s Bucky, Wyatt Russell’s John Walker, Hannah John-Kamen’s Ghost, Rebecca Romijn’s Mystique, and Torres and Tenoch Huerta’s Namor.
