2 Avengers reunite tonight on Jimmy Kimmel Live!
By Matt Moore
The Avengers may be a few years away from assembling again on the big screen, but two of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's biggest stars will reunite on Jimmy Kimmel Live!. Monday night's episode will feature two of Hollywood's biggest heroes.
Jimmy Kimmel Live! has long established itself as late-night TV's official home for the MCU. The Disney connection made it an obvious choice, but Kimmel's love of comic books doesn't hurt either.
Monday night, Kimmel will welcome Thor and the Scarlet Witch, also known as Chris Hemsworth and Elizabeth Olsen. The two actors will be on promoting separate projects.
For Hemsworth, he'll promote his starring role in the animated movie Transformers One. He voices Optimus Prime alongside fellow Avenger Scarlett Johansson. The movie hits theaters on September 20.
Olsen has a slightly different projects to discuss. She co-stars in the drama His Three Daughters releasing on Netflix on September 20. Olsen also stars in The Assessment, a sci-fi thriller that premiered at the Toronto Film Festival earlier this year.
It's hard to imagine Kimmel will have two Avengers on his show and not bring up the MCU. Neither Hemsworth nor Olsen have been confirmed for Avengers: Doomsday set to release in 2025. But expect Kimmel to ask Hemsworth his take on Robert Downey Jr. trading in the Iron Man suit for Dr. Doom.
Kimmel also has a good reason to talk Wanda with Elizabeth Olsen. Wednesday night will be the premiere of Agatha All Along, a spinoff from Olsen's Disney+ series WandaVision. Despite her fate in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Wanda could still appear in the MCU. Don't be surprised if Kimmel asks Olsen if she has a part to play in Agatha All Along or any other future projects. Just don't expect the actor to give a straight answer.
Jimmy Kimmel Live! airs tonight, September 16, at 11:35 p.m. ET on ABC.
