Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth are taking Avengers: Doomsday to South Korea. Walt Disney Company Korea confirmed on November 6 that the two stars will visit Seoul December 7 and 8, with Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige traveling alongside them.
During the two-day trip, Evans, Hemsworth and Feige are set to appear at a press conference and a red carpet event, meeting both the Korean press and fans. Times, venues and any public fan access for the red carpet have not been announced yet.
Evans’ First Trip Back In 11 Years
The visit will be Evans’ first time in South Korea since 2015, an 11-year gap. Doomsday brings him back as Steve Rogers, the role he left behind at the end of Avengers: Endgame.
For Hemsworth, it is a first. Disney Korea says this is his first trip to the country to promote a Marvel movie. He was in Korea last year to film the second season of his Disney+ series Limitless, but he has never come to meet Korean fans as Thor until now.
Feige rounds out the group. He has run Marvel Studios since the start of the Marvel Cinematic Universe with Iron Man and produced every Avengers film, including this one.
Korea Gets Doomsday Two Days Early
Avengers: Doomsday opens in South Korea on December 16, two days before its U.S. release on December 18. A December 7 arrival puts the stars in Seoul a little more than a week before opening day. Joe and Anthony Russo directed the film, their first Avengers movie since Endgame, with Robert Downey Jr. playing Doctor Doom.
Seoul is one of the nine cities on Marvel’s Doomsday Global Tour, which Marvel revealed on November 5 along with Las Vegas, São Paulo, Gold Coast, Rome, London, Shanghai, Toronto and Los Angeles. Marvel has not said which other cast members will appear at each stop.
The city has already been a big part of the Doomsday push. On Halloween night, a 2,000-drone Marvel show over the Han River turned Tony Stark into Doctor Doom in the sky above Ttukseom Hangang Park.
What We Still Don’t Know
No other Doomsday actors have been confirmed for Seoul, and Disney Korea has not said whether Downey will join the tour at any stop. Fans hoping to see the stars in person should watch Disney Korea and Marvel Korea’s channels for red carpet details in the coming weeks.
