Three - Marvel Studios 10-Year Anniversary

October 7, 2017
Atlanta, Georgia

Everywhere I looked; left, right and centre, were the biggest names in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Over 80 actors, actresses, directors and executive producers were scattered around the studio congregating for the Marvel Studios class photo to celebrate ten years. The original Avengers, the recurring cast members since the beginning, the Guardians and then there's me. I felt unworthy and out of place being invited here for this photoshoot. I'd only just been introduced into the universe and now I was involved in the biggest class photo.

I scanned the room in awe, recognising every face my eyes landed on, and stood like an idiot gaping at them. What made me giggle was how casual everyone looked. My style was very casual and I was worried that I didn't dress up enough but at least one of my worries was solved.

I pulled the collar of my white turtleneck jumper and slowly stepped further into the studio. A few people said hello to me and I gave them a shy wave. In the middle of the studio, I noticed the seating chart was set up and made a beeline for it. As I got closer, I saw that there were camera crews filming everything we did. At the moment, they were filming Elizabeth Olsen and Don Cheadle looking at the chart. I approached Lizzie and poked her shoulder. Her head shot up and a smile stretched across her face when she saw me.

"Ellen, hi! How are you?" She said, wrapping her arms around my shoulders and hugging me.

I giggled and hugged her back.

"I'm good. I'm so excited!" I said.

"I know right, so am I," Lizzie giggled. "You look so cute by the way. I love the dungarees."

"Oh my gosh, stop, you're making me blush," I chuckled nervously, trying to hide my pink cheeks. "You look amazing too as always."

"Thank you so much," Lizzie said.

I turned to Don who was waiting for me to acknowledge him and he pulled me into a one-sided hug.

"How you doing, kid?" He asked.

"I'm great, uncle Donny," I said back. Just like with Downey, me and Don acted like an uncle and niece off-screen and we hit it off immediately.

"Where you sitting?" He nodded towards the chart.

I squinted my eyes at the chart and titled my head to the side. This was the fanciest and most confusing seating plan I had ever seen. Instead of the usual names on a piece of paper, there were 3D figurines of everyone sitting and standing on the staging. It looked like a miniature model of the scene in front of me.

"Urm, what the fuck?" I said unsurely.

"I know, it's very confusing," Elizabeth chuckled.

An Asian man beside me started to explain how the seating plan worked. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the camera focusing on me, Lizzie and Don checking the stealing plan for our seats. Lizzie and Don found their places quickly, but I kept searching the back rows and outskirts of the group for my seat.
