of the new Avengers movie the other day,

and it combined his two best talents:

interviewing celebrities and drinking.

And-- [audience laughter]

Here's what happened.

[dramatic music]

- I am Iron Man!

Just kidding, Ellen. It's me.

I'm here at the premiere of the Avengers movie, "Age of Ultron."

It's gonna be a night full of superheroes.

- Hey, how are you? - I'm great, how are you doing?

- Hey, I'm--I'm better now. - Are you?

- You look lovely. - Well, you know,

I'd like to dress up as much as I could.

- What did they do to you tonight?

- What do you mean, this is what I wear all the time.

There's a lot of stuff going on on set.

Would you give us any kind of behind-the-scenes?

You don't have to name any names,

but I have a couple of dolls here that would act--

You could show us. - Okay, like,

"Ah, this is my shirtless scene.

I have to do a couple of these."

Uh, uh, uh, uh.

"My helmet hurts! Meh!"

- Do you mind playing "Paper, Rock, Scissors" with me?

- Not at all.

I thought you'd never ask.

- I don't-- - Ready, here we go.

- Okay, ready? - Ready?

(both) One, two, three!

- No! - I got you.

(both) One, two, three!

- Oh! - I can't help it!

I'm here with Stan Lee,

creator of all these characters here on the Avengers.

So, Stan Lee, if you had to create a character for Ellen,

what would that character be?

- Oh, it would have to be beautiful.

It'd have to be very smart.

Have to be quick on her feet,

and have a power that no other woman has.

- I think you just described Ellen.

I think she is a superhero.

[cheers and applause] Hey, look, it's Iron Man!

Everybody, there goes Iron Man! There goes Iron Man!

He really likes my outfit! See, Iron Man?

He totally looked at me and he was like,

"Yeah--oh, no, that's not Iron Man,

but it looks really close to Iron Man," so...

Ah... See you later, Robert!

Downey, Jr. Who plays Iron Man.

[sighs]

I'm gonna make your night a little bit better.

We're going to give you a pull out of our grab bag tonight.

Don't look! Don't look.

- Oh, that's, like, underwear. Oh, what is--

- Oh! You know what?

You got the Ellen gardening gloves.

Before you go, you want to do a little challenge?

- What do you want to do?

- Uh... [audience laughter]

- Don't make it weird. Just--

- I'm not going to make it any weirder than this.

- What are we challenging? Come on.

- If you can name--

- If you can name-- - Tell me.

- If you can name-- - What are we challenging?

- Three--all right.

- I'm taking this very seriously.

- Oh yeah. - This is the best thing ever.

[cheers and applause]

- One, two, three, four--

(both) I begin a thumb war.

- Go.

Oh, you shoot low, I see--aah.

Aah, I lost to Thor, at thumb wrestling.

- Cheers. - That's all right,

it's all good now!

Before you go, I gotta take a quick picture, do you mind?

- Of course, yeah. Let's do it.

- And... gotta get my hammer here.

I got one for you, too.

[audience laughter] Don't worry,

it's not the size that matters.

- That's a little depressing, isn't it?

- Nope, it's a hammer.

Three superhero powers in five seconds, I'll count.

Ready, go! - Flight, super strength,

invisibility.

[audience laughter]

- Ladies and gentlemen, Nick Fury.

- Wow, that's real [bleep] liquor!

[laughter and applause]
