The red carpet was buzzing as the cast made their grand entrance, including Sebastian Stan (Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier), Florence Pugh (Yelena Belova), David Harbour (Red Guardian), and Wyatt Russell (U.S. Agent). Julia Louis-Dreyfus, ever the scene-stealer as Contessa Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, brought a spark of sharp wit and sophistication to the carpet.
