According to comicbook.com, the press conference featured surviving Avengers, such as Tony Stark/Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Bruce Banner/The Hulk (Mark Rufallo), Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow (Scarlet Johansson), Steve Rogers/Captain America (Chris Evans) and the newly featured heroine Carol Denvers/Captain Marvel (Brie Larson). The stars were seen seated among several rows of empty chairs.   

“Clearly, things look a little different in a post-Infinity War Marvel cinematic universe. Post snap, there’s a few empty seats,” said Favreau, reminding the media of the heroes who had perished from the snap of Thanos. (jes/kes)
