Avengers: Age of Ultron star Chris Hemsworth hosted Saturday Night Live over the weekend, and as one might expect, a skit involving his superhero alter ego found its way onto the show.

In the Avengers-themed sketch, a reporter played by Horatio Sanz attempts to wrangle Thor (Hemsworth) for an interview after The Avengers’ victory over the evil android Ultron and his robot minions, only to have some trouble reining in the hard-partying hero. Thor, who wants nothing more than to sing “We are the champions” and invite everyone to the after-party at Dave & Buster’s, is joined by Iron Man (Taran Killam), Nick Fury (Jay Pharoah), and Captain America (Beck Bennett).

They’re also briefly joined by Bruce Banner (Pete Davidson), who’s pretty sure he ate someone during the battle.

The Avengers’ real battle with Ultron has yet to make its way to theaters, however, with Avengers: Age of Ultron premiering just shy of two months from now. Directed by Joss Whedon, the film pits the Marvel Comics superhero team against an evil android (voiced by James Spader) bent on eradicating humanity from Earth.

Avengers: Age of Ultron hits theaters May 1, 2015.

Deadpool & Wolverine: Everything we know about the film formerly known as Deadpool 3

Deadpool and Wolverine stand together in Deadpool & Wolverine.

In retrospect, we should have suspected that Deadpool & Wolverine wouldn't keep its most famous co-star out of the title. In 2022, Ryan Reynolds coaxed Hugh Jackman into reprising his role as Wolverine for the first time since 2017's Logan. Once that happened, the name Deadpool 3 didn't fully convey how monumental this film would be.

So Marvel Studios has officially retitled it as Deadpool & Wolverine. Jackman has also humorously rebranded the film as Wolverine & [expletive], which would make this R-rated flick a lot harder to market!

5 years ago, Game of Thrones aired its last great episode. Here’s why it still holds up

Many fans would likely agree that Game of Thrones went out not with a bang, but a profound whimper. After dominating pop culture for nearly 10 years, the hit HBO series concluded with a trio of episodes that were universally reviled by both fans and critics alike. The show's lackluster, ham-fisted finale led to its popularity seemingly vanishing into thin air. In the five years since it aired, time hasn't been kind to Game of Thrones season 8.

To this day, many people still discuss the series' final season with a mix of bitterness and disbelief, and those fans won't find any disagreement about the quality of Game of Thrones' last few chapters here. As disappointing as its eighth season remains, though, April 21 marked the five-year anniversary of its noteworthy second episode, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. The fan-favorite installment ranks not only as its season's best chapter, but also as the last great episode that Game of Thrones ever produced.
