Paul Rudd auctioned off two tickets to the Avengers: Doomsday world premiere and raised $100,000 for Children’s Mercy Hospital. The auction was documented in a video shared online, showing Rudd personally facilitating the moment in his typically warm and funny style.
Children’s Mercy Hospital is a pediatric hospital based in Kansas City, Missouri. It provides care for children regardless of their family’s ability to pay. The hospital has a longstanding relationship with the Kansas City community and has received support from celebrities and athletes over the years.
What The $100K Auction Included
The two premiere tickets were sold as a package. The winning bidder paid $100,000 total for the pair. Premiere tickets for a film of Doomsday’s scale typically include attendance at the official red carpet event, the screening itself, and any after-party. The Doomsday world premiere date has not been officially announced yet. But given the film’s December 18 release, a premiere would likely take place in late November or early December 2026.
