Marvel Studios presents Avengers: Age of Ultron, the epic follow-up to the biggest Super Hero movie of all time. When Tony Stark tries to jumpstart a dormant peacekeeping program, things go awry and Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, including Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, The Incredible Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye, are put to the ultimate test as the fate of the planet hangs in the balance. As the villainous Ultron emerges, it is up to The Avengers to stop him from enacting his terrible plans, and soon uneasy alliances and unexpected action pave the way for an epic and unique global adventure.

Today will forever go down as the most explosive day of all time for TIFF! Stars were bursting at every seam after what was felt by the consensus as a a slow start to the Festival on Thursday. Parties were held all around the City and we made several successful Pit Stops around the City and got fueled by Starpower!

The day began with a Press Conference for Jason Reitman‘s new Film about  sexual frustrations, Men, Women & Children and although normally Fans get a chance to see and interact with the Cast, it would be the running-behind-schedule which hindered the experience. We still managed to see the following:

Jennifer Garner

Jason Reitman

Kaitlyn Dever

Adam Sandler

Ansel Elgort/Kaitlyn Dever

We also got a little surprise from Australian Actor Alex Russell, whom we met filming CARRIE here a couple years back! The Actor stars in CUT SNAKE at TIFF ’14!  He remembers us!

We love Paul Bettany and were ecstatic about meeting him as he went about his Press Day for self-directed Shelter, which premieres at TIFF ’14.

Not too far long after, we made our way over to the official Audi-sponsored Party for Oscar Contender, PRIDE over at Hotspot The Citizen.  All I have to say is Truffle Poutine.  Delish. The light-hearted Dramedy documents the true struggle of a Gay Activist Group in England, supporting Miners in need. The only thing however, is that the striking Miners didn’t want to be associated with the Group. The Film won a two-minute Standing Ovation from its Audience yesterday afternoon. See some Snaps of the talented Cast:

Bill Nighy

Ben Schnetzer & Jessie Cave

Dominic West

Andrew Scott

The Cast and Team behind PRIDE

We thought we’d re-visit the Cast of Paramount Pictures‘ Men, Women & Children once more at the official Party for the Film at new It-Spot, Montecito which happens also to be owned be legendary Filmmaker Ivan Reitman, Father of  Director Jason. Fans and Cameras lined the Carpet in eager anticipation as the Stars paraded by one-by-one including a few surprises! I was so happy to see our Friend Ansel Elgort, whom we met here in the City a couple years back when he was filming CARRIE. He noticed us right away at the Carpet proclaiming, “I’ve got to get a Selfie with Mr. Will!”. We’re incredibly proud how well he’s done and also what’s next to come for the Divergent and The Fault in our Stars Talent, who clearly has been propelled into Mega-stardom from the ecstatic screams I heard from Fans everywhere he went today.

Jennifer Garner

Rosemarie DeWitt

Ansel Elgort

Eugene Levy

Adam Sandler

An annual favourite Fixture of ours at TIFF is the InStyle Magazine Party, which shuts down a strip of Yorkville for a night and the amount of Starpower seen here was s t a g g e r i n g. We admit it was a bit of on the decline mostly due to unfortunate timing later in the Festival after an abundance of Stars leave town, but was it ever a night to remember for the Fans! We’re talking Megawatts!

Chris Evans (Before We Go)

Robert Downey Jr. (The Judge)

Day 2 of TIFF ’14 certainly was not short on the Starpower, however it would be the torrential downpour of rain and a Thundershower early evening which would curtail what I anticipated would be a long night. That being said, I am going to rest-up and be up and at ’em early with a proper night of rest!

The Day began with the Press Conference for David Dobkin‘s THE JUDGE, starring Robert Downey Jr., Robert Duvall, Vera Farmiga, Dax Shepard and more!  Downey  drew a vast majority of the Crowd today and certainly tried rewarding them all with some Autographs, zipping along in circular fashion before heading into his Photo Call.

See the Snaps below!

Robert Downey Jr.

Robert Duvall, who also was celebrated at an In-Conversation-With at TIFF Bell Lightbox

Vera Farmiga

Dax Shepard – he had to school me on how to use my Samsung S5!

David Dobkin

With few expectations in mind, we crossed paths today with many Stars out and about! Check-out some of these familiar faces!

Rene Russo at TIFF ’14 for Nightcrawler in which she stars opposite Jake Gyllenhaal, looks absolutely stunning and is amazingly sweet in-person I’m pleased to say!

I’ve long been touting British Star Felicity Jones as one to look out for. The Actress appears in much-buzzed The Theory of Everything opposite Eddie Redmayne, and despite checking-in quickly at her Hotel, she still came out to say “hello” to everyone after. She also was here a couple years back with Like Crazy and Hysteria. We kinda match, no?

Although we’re unsure which Film she’s at TIFF ’14 for, Orange is the New Black Star Alysia Reiner surprised us all today and in all honesty she looked a little surprised how excited Fans were to see her!

Not a Woman of many words, Director Lone Scherfig was shocked to be recognized today. I loved her 2010 Film An Education starring Carey Mulligan, which also premiered at TIFF, and am eagerly awaiting her latest, The Riot Club, which debuts this weekend at TIFF ’14!

Funnyman Eddie Izzard certainly is no stranger to Toronto, having brought his Shows here on multiple occasions and also filming Hannibal in the City. He is at TIFF ’14 with Dustin Hoffman-starring Boychoir.

I admit it! I’m still a bit of a Gleek at heart! Was absolutely surprised to see Kevin McHale, who plays Artie on the Series, out and about today. He also stars in Boychoir alongside Izzard.

I adore Rafe Spall, the talented British Actor known best for his work in Films like The F Word and The Life of Pi. I lucked-out totally seeing him at Ryerson Theatre tonight for the Premiere of X+Y which saw its Red Carpet go on despite heavy rains.

Young Hollywood is filled with promising Stars, but Asa Butterfield certainly would be at the top of his class. Starring in critical and Box Office successes Ender’s Game and also Martin Scorcese‘s Hugo, the 17-year-old Brit is at TIFF ’14 with X+Y which seems him starring as a socially-awkward young Math Prodegy.

Tomorrow the excitement reaches a peak as we expect to see the likes of Jennifer Garner, Tina Fey, Bill Murray, Ansel Elgort and several, several more! Stay tuned.

I live for this Festival!  TIFF  ’14 Day One has arrived at long last and what an eventful day it was.  I appreciate everyone taking the time to tune-in to CP24 for my Interview with Stephen LeDrew!  As always, it’s a blast contributing every year and I’m honoured to be asked to help-out again this year.  Catch me throughout the Festival and visit their official website for some of my exclusives!

In case you missed it, my Interview can be streamed here.

The Carpet tonight was absolutely crazy for The Judge, the Drama sees Robert Downey Jr. play a Big City Lawyer who returns to his hometown to learn that his Father, a Judge, stands accused of Murder!  Stars Dax Shepard (and Wife Kristen Bell!), Vera Farmiga and Robert Duvall also graced the Roy Thomson Hall Carpet.  One lucky young Man dressed as Iron Man even got a Photo Op with Downey!  More pics to come tomorrow of the Cast, but here’s one of Downey greeting Fans.  He was spotted afterward at Ivan Reitman‘s new Restaurant, Montecito although Fans and Media were barred access seeing the Cast’s arrivals.

French Star Juliette Binoche always is a Vision and it was amazing seeing her up-close over at the Princess of Wales Theatre.  The Actress stars alongside Kristen Stewart (absent tonight) in the Drama about an aging Actress’ struggles and her Friendship with her Assistant.  See a Snap below of Binoche greeting Fans.

Everyone doubted me but here’s proof for your own eyes. TOM HARDY IS IN TOWN!  I was one of the few lucky ones who got a Snap of him tonight.  The Actor stars in The Drop, known as the late James Gandolfini‘s final performance on-screen.  The New York-filmed Movie sees Hardy as a Bartender caught between the Mafia and what’s right.  As anticipated, he was amazingly gracious and those who are following know he was my #1 this Festival. I’m on Cloud Nine.

As if things couldn’t get any better, we also spotted the brilliant Melissa McCarthy who stars alongside Bill Murray in St. Vincent.  Although it took the Bridesmaids Star a while to confirm, she eventually made it.  She was exhausted but made an exception for a quick Snap. I’m dying.

As always, we LOVE a good Giveaway!  How about an authentic signed TOM HARDY Photo?

Want it?  Simply click  “like” on the Post with that Signed Tom Hardy Photo over at Mr. Will Wong on Facebook to enter!  All are welcome.  Now’s the time to let all your Friends in on Toronto’s best-kept Secret!

This is just a taste of what’s to come, my Willionaire$.  Keep checkin’ back and be following on Social Media for more excitement!

This looks delicious. CHEF premieres at the SXSW Festival in Austin tonight as its Opening Night Film. The Food Truck-Comedy starring/directed/written by Jon Favreau is about  a Chef who loses his job, setting his sights on a Food Truck, at once trying to reunite with his estranged Family. How could this not be amazing?

See a Sneak Peek of CHEF below with Favreau inciting a Twitter War with the Competition:

Honestly, no fair!  South Koreans were lucky enough to get their own Stop-off on the Promotional Tour for Iron Man 3 and none other than Robert Downey Jr. rung-in the festivities earlier today with a Red Carpet Premiere, at once celebrating his 48th Birthday too.

The Promotional Tour for Iron Man 3 next hits Beijing on April 6, 2013.
