Last Tuesday I attended the Thor Ragnarok LA Premiere. It’s not every day that I get to screen my favorite superhero movies. Hell, half the time I’m too busy to even catch them in theaters. But going to a red carpet premiere? Watching a film for the first time among the very talent who brought it to the screen, now that’s like a once in a lifetime chance.
I’ve been fortunate to be invited to several premieres over the years. You might remember Cinderella and Alice Through the Looking Glass, but this was my first ever Marvel film premiere. Not to mention, my first ever Marvel film premiere of my favorite superhero of all time, the Mighty Thor. So what went down on the red carpet?

Thor: Ragnarok is in theaters everywhere now!
Thor: Ragnarok LA Premiere – Red Carpet Highlights
First, let me set the scene of the Thor: Ragnarok LA Premiere red carpet for you. They are not all like this, but for the most part, there are four main sections. You have the outer flank where the press has assigned positions so they can get their photos and do their interviews. You have the center where the talent, filmmakers, execs and their families/publicity teams walk as they get photographed and interviewed.
Then you have the other outer flank where everyone else is loading into the theater and taking pictures of celebrities and themselves along the way. There are security guards telling you to move as they try to get everyone in place. In short, it’s chaotic. But I love it. It’s exciting and a lot of fun to see the stars from the film, their amazing outfits, and charisma. And there are always some cool finds along the way.
