Avengers: Infinity War has been one of the most anticipated movies of the year. The whole cast is locked and loaded, everyone from Iron Man and Thor to Black Panther and Spiderman.
It’s like one big happy family, and with a recent appearance on The Tonight Show they showed just how close they are. And not just buddy buddy close, but Brady Bunch close.
On Thursday night Jimmy Fallon had key members of the star-studded cast parody the Brady Bunch theme song, turning it into their own special version called The Marvel Bunch.
The beat is familiar, but the crew adds a whole new spin to the lyrics. For those unaware of The Avengers plot line, they give a brief rundown of who’s who and what’s what. Robert Downey Jr. and company begin the parody with:
Here’s the story
Of a playboy genius
Who was gearin’ up to form some sort of crew
With a former Russian spy
A god of thunder
One fought in World War II
And then Chris Pratt follows by introducing the second half of the family:
Here’s the story of a handsome Star Lord
Like the greatest to every walk the earth, by far
And a Falcon
And a magic doctor
Wakanda forever!
The cast goes on to explain the gravity of the situation, and how they’re uniting to fight one of the strongest villains in the Marvel Universe:
‘Til then one day all the heroes were assembled
To fight a villain who packed much more than a punch
And this group was labeled the Avengers
That’s the way we all became the Marvel Bunch
The Marvel Bunch
Love it or hate it, the Marvel Universe is evolving. And the parody was a fun, silly way to get people hype for a film that is likely going to shatter every major box office record.
