touched down here in louisiana. one of them a powerful ef-3 twister with devastating winds. you can see from our second camera what it did to this hotel when it hit in the middle of the night. room after room here is destroyed and there is damage like this spread throughout this town. this morning, parts of the south lie in ruins. a violent storm spinning up powerful twisters -- >> that's a tornado! >> reporter: cutting a path of destruction in louisiana stretching for 150 miles. the town of ruston, home of louisiana tech university, taking a direct hit. >> it first was really heartbreaking, kind of shocking because you see it on movies but never think it can happen to you. >> reporter: students enduring the storm and winds upwards of 140 miles per hour behind the dorm room walls. outside debris is spread across the campus. this field torn apart. >> this place has just been decimated. >> reporter: off campus a woman and her young son killed when a tree fell on their home. the punishing storm charging

across the town with devastating intensity. the twister came from that direction and roared this way in the middle of the night and hit this hotel. as you can see, the second floor is gone. some of the city's most prominent residents jumping in to help. jalen ferguson, an football star and nfl prospect helping storm survivors. >> dropping off water and pizza for people who need food right now. >> reporter: 11 tornados hit touched down in four separate states. back in ruston they say it is absolutely a miracle that no one at this hotel was hurt. cecilia. >> wow, that destruction is just incredible. okay, marcus, thank you. we turn to that deadly pileup in denver turning an interstate into an inferno. a semi blasting past drivers slamming into cars and trucks killing at least one person, inju clayton sandell is there on the scene with the latest. good morning, clayton. >> reporter: good morning, cecilia. you can see behind me here there is no traffic flowing on this

major interestrriag major interstate this morning. i-70 is completely shut down except for emergency vehicles and authorities say overnight that multiple people were killed in this crash but they still don't know how many or why this happened. >> there is a complete fire. things are exploding. >> reporter: rush hour interstate inferno. >> oh, my god. >> reporter: explosions and raging fire in the middle of the thursday evening commute after police say an out-of-control tractor-trailer slammed into commuters stopped in a traffic jam. >> you can see a car, outline of a car right there. >> reporter: that speeding semi captured on josh mccutcheon's live stream camera. >> oh, my god! >> i've never seen that many cars and that much destruction and fire, and it was just complete chaos. >> reporter: the chain reaction disaster engulfing at least 12 cars and three semis on interstate 70 near denver. six people rushed to hospitals. so much carnage, police don't know how many people are dead.

>> we are still -- still working on identifying those people that were killed and we're also still trying to account for everybody involved in the crash. >> reporter: investigators now reviewing this video. they're eager to talk to the driver of that semi who survived. police want to know why the truck was going so fast and why it did not stop. one of the major problems here is that the extreme heat from the fire not only damaged highway pavement, it also may have compromised the safety of the overpass here behind me. they're worried it could come down so there's a lot of work that needs to be done here before the interstate re-opens. george. >> that was amazing. okay, clayton, thanks very much. we move to the race for the white house. for now joe biden, the democratic front-runner, after attending his first fund-raiser overnight taking his first shot from president trump and getting a taste of the challenges ahead from anita hill. our senior national

correspondent terry moran is at the white house with the latest. good morning, terry. >> reporter: good morning. president trump has a busy day. he will address the nra in indianapolis and have the japanese prime minister here but he's got his eye on politics and even after just one day joe biden right in the thick of the fight in this campaign. joe biden closed out his first day as a presidential candidate with a fund-raiser in philadelphia. >> we really have to restore -- we have to start choosing truth over lies, hope over fear. [ applause ] >> reporter: and while he didn't mention president trump by name, he made his focus clear. >> i'm hoping that in a couple of years we'll look back and say whether it's me or anybody else replacing him that this is an aberration in american history. >> reporter: overnight in an interview with fox news the president took aim at biden. >> he's not the brightest lightbulb in the group, i don't think, but he has a name that they know. >> reptek. >> he welcohenite

>> reporter: the biden campaign is facing another hurdle, his long track record in the senate. the campaign revealed thursday that biden spoke with anita hill expressing regret for what she endured. as senate judiciary committee chairman, a 48-year-old biden ran the confirmation hearings for then supreme court nominee clarence thomas. >> can you tell the committee what was the most embarrassing of all the incidences that you have alleged? >> reporter: anita hill famously testified that thomas had harassed her. in turn, many feel she was eviscerated by lawmakers. hill tells "the new york times" that after that conversation with biden which happened earlier this month, she is not convinced that he accepts the harm she says he caused her. i cannot be satisfied by simply saying i'm sorry for what happened to you. i will be satisfied when i know

there is real change and real accountability and real purpose. the biden campaign responds gently saying over the decades joe biden has tried to change bringing women onto the judiciary committee and sponsoring the violence against women act. but this is one example that biden is going to face with that long track record in the senate. george? >> that's one example. we also heard from president obama. lots of praise for his former vice president but he's not ready to put his thumb on the scale in this democratic primary race. >> reporter: he's not. no endorsement from president obama. that is kind of a presidential tradition. they keep above the fight in order to save their political capital for the general election but at the end of the day joe biden has said that he asked president obama not to endorse him and that he wants to win this on the merits, george. >> okay, terry moran. thanks very much. joe biden will be live on "the view" today. then robin has an exclusive interview with biden and his wife, dr. jill biden, that will air on "gma" on tuesday. janai? >> now to the measles emergency leading to massive quarantines at two universities in los

angeles. hundreds of students and faculty at ucla and cal state told to stay in and avoid contact with others after fears they were exposed to measles. abc's chief national correspondent matt gutman is on the ucla campus with more this morning. matt, good morning. >> reporter: hey, good morning, janai. this is possibly one of the biggest exposures we've seen since this national outbreak began and what is so troubling to public health officials is that that first contagious person went to some very public places, the los angeles airport, one of the busiest in the world, and cal state and ucla with their tens of thousands of students. >> one person with a confirmed measles case can expose thousands of people. >> reporter: with hundreds of faculty and students now in quarantine, ucla and cal state taking that drastic step to fight one of the world's most contagious viruses. the measles once believed to have been eliminated from the u.s. now spreading across the country and hitting los angeles.

>> you have five cases, four of which are linked as an outbreak. thatveler quickly spreading the virus to others. one of those contagious people then went to ucla's psychology school on three occasions leaving students like jay mcveigh exposed and eventually quarantined. >> they were basically like, nope, you're getting quarantined right now. if you don't comply, then you'll be in trouble with like los angeles department of public health or some similar organization. >> reporter: the virus is very hearty and can live on surfaces for several hours after exposure and can even stay in the air for up to two hours after a sick person coughs or sneezes, making it very difficult to stop. now, the cdc says roughly 700 measles cases have been reported across the u.s. now, quarantine is not jail, cecilia, and students and staff who can provide medical records showing they've been immunized can get out quickly.

those who can't find those records might have to stay in quarantine for another ten days. cecelia? >> wow, okay, matt, thank you. we turn to that health emergency north of chicago. a leaking tanker setting off a toxic cloud that sent dozens to the hospital, some still in critical condition this morning. abc's alex perez is in beach park, illinois and the ntsb is now heading to the scene? >> reporter: hey, good morning, cecilia. that's right. that team will investigate what exactly triggered all of this. now, it made for some tense moments of panic here. take a look. this was the scene after a tractor transporting trailers filled with anhydrous ammonia somehow started leaking. that leak quickly created a cloud of toxic fumes that blanketed the area. those powerful fumes sending 37 people, including several first responders, to the hospital. authorities issued a shelter in place for residents. it took officials about six hours to finally give the all clear.

now, investigators were also examining if that chemical was being legally transported. cecelia? >> okay, alex perez, thank you. we turn to new developments in that terror attack in sri lanka. authorities now say the leader of the attack, an extremist preacher, died in one of the hotel bombings on easter and the death toll has now been revised. at least 250 people were killed in those attacks. the targeted six hotels and churches, the country remains on high alert this morning. george? >> dangerous situation there. we go on to washington. it's sentencing day for maria buti butina, the russian agent who cultivated political contacts during the 2016 campaign is now facing up to 18 months in prison. abc's kyra phillips is outside the federal courthouse in d.c. where butina will be later this morning. good morning, keira. >> reporter: good morning, george. well, maria butina has cooperated with the feds. she's pleaded guilty to conspiring to act as a foreign agent. now prosecutors want her to serve nine more months in prison.

she was arrested last july and charged with attempting to develop a covert influence operation trying to gain access to the trump administration and build back channels to the kremlin. her lawyers argue that she was simply trying to strengthen the relationship between the u.s. and russia and should be sentenced to time served. before the judge makes a decision today, butina will have a chance to speak to the court and ultimately she'll likely be deported. george, i have visited her several times in jail. she says she's looking forward to going home, no longer being a gun activist, and staying out of the limelight. >> the only question is when, keira, thanks very much. janai? now to the nfl draft. it was a huge night for the top college football players in the country. 32 became pros starting with quarterback kyler murray, the reigning heisman award winner. robin was there in nashville hosting, and paula faris has all the highlights this morning. hey, paula. >> reporter: hey there, janai. good morning, everyone.

you know, there is nothing quite like the nfl draft. the fans show up just dressed in the most insane outfits and then there's those beautiful emotional exchanges between the families and the players. these streets were jammed last night. it didn't matter that it was pouring rain. we saw a couple of firsts, a whole lot of tears, and then there was just a really awkward exchange with the nfl commissioner. >> i have never seen anything like this. >> reporter: it was an evening of high hopes, big emotions and dreams fulfilled. the nfl draft kicking off with a bang. >> arizona has found their murray. >> reporter: the heisman trophy winning quarterback, kyler murray, a popular choice with the arizona faithful. the two-sport athlete already has a major league baseball deal, but it looks like this fall he'll be wearing football cleats. >> the number one pick, the number one pick. >> reporter: the opening night hosted by our own robin roberts

as players and their families basked in the spotlight. >> what you been doing the last couple of hours as the number one pick? >> trying to soak it all in. >> to see his dream become a reality is just -- it's just unbelievable. >> reporter: for the bosa clan it was also a family affair. >> the san francisco 49ers select nick bosa. >> reporter: the ohio state defensive lineman picked second overall. both his father and older brother were also drafted in the first round. it's the only time this has ever happened in the nfl. the number three pick, quinnen williams, selected by the new york jets. williams leaving an empty seat for the devoted mother he lost when he was just 12. there were ups and downs for both fans and players and this moment with the commissioner. and then there was the night's smallest scene stealer, new jacksonville jaguar josh allen sharing the spotlight with his baby wesley.

even if that new cap didn't quite fit his little head. but there was another showstopper. taylor swift, the mega watt pop star using the big stage to announce her new song which dropped midnight. ♪ i promise that you'll never find another like me ♪ >> you've been teasing us about the big reveal. so what is it going to be? >> it's going to be a new song and music video. the song is called "me." i'm here tonight and i see people who worked their whole lives to achieve their dreams in this city. you gave me a shot when i was 14 years old, interviewed me when no one else was watching, and now i'm getting to play in the stadium down the road. >> reporter: oh, i love it. coming up we'll have much more about taylor swift's new song, "me" and she gives us a tour of her beloved nashville. round one in the books. we'll see rounds two and three tonight on abc and espn, it's going to be a busy weekend ahead. >> sure is. >> looking forward to it.

"avengers: endgame" finally here, hit the box office overnight, already breaking records, selling out theaters. the first fan reviews ahead. also, antman himself, paul rudd, will be here. >> who is not as tiny in person, not miniature just to clarify. but that is coming up. first the top headlines beginning with the northeast bracing for possible tornadoes and torrential rain as that deadly storm moves east. heavy rain and violent twisters killed at least five people across the south and the state of emergency declared in louisiana. take a look at that massive pileup there in lakewood, colorado, a semi slamming into cars and trucks killing at least one person, injuring many more. officials are now calling this one of the worst accidents they have ever seen. and guess who has done it

i wish we had the "jeopardy" music cued. professional gambler james holzhauer extending his winning streak on "jeopardy" to 16 days. so incredible, winning 90,000 more dollars. now his total winnings top 1.2 million bucks. he revealed one of the ways he prepared was by doing research in the children's section of the library. he said that the books -- they're perfect, short with a lot of pictures so he could memorize all of this information. >> helped him get to half of ken jennings' winnings. >> not done yet. a lot coming up but we begin with a guilty verdict for that new york woman who pretended to be an heiress and stole hundreds of thousands to fund her luxury lifestyle and whit johnson here with details. >> reporter: the drama played out late into the evening. at one point the jury appeared deadlocked. the defense asking for a mistrial but then the verdict. jurors agreeing with the prosecution that anna sorokin built her fairy tale life on a foundation of theft and lies. overnight a new york city jury

finding socialite anna sorokin the co-called soho grifter guilty on grand larceny, attempted grand larceny and theft of services. prosecutors arguing the 28-year-old stole $250,000 from banks, hotels and friends to fund a lavish lifestyle. >> the jurors obviously believed our point of view and followed our logic and acquitted her of the top charge. i'm saddened she was convicted of some of the other charges. >> reporter: prosecutors say the russian born sorokin was pretending to be a high-flying german heiress living a life of glamour among manhattan's elite and authorities say she even forged financial documents hoping to get a $22 million loan to open a private club in the big apple. while she was turned down, she did convince one bank to loan her $100,000 which she never paid back. her lawyers saying she meant to but had gotten in over her head and was just buying time. but it was all a lie, they say. a fake story convincing people

she was the daughter of a diplomat or an oil baron, an it girl who claimed to have more than $60 million to her name confidently tipping hotel workers with $100 bills. sorokin's case even capturing hollywood's attention. "grey anatomy's" creator shonda riems behind an up coming article based on this new york magazine article, and her designer glasses and snakeprint dresses has a fan account. her defense team confirming to abc news they hired a professional stylist to dress sorokin for her trial in the spotlight. >> clothes are an important part of a defendant's appearance particularly in a trial of this nature. >> reporter: sorokin was acquitted of two charges including the most serious, attempting to steal more than $1 million from citi national bank. she now faces deportation and up to5 arinrin. >> a stylist for t trial? >> amazing. the attorney said that it was

important for her to continue to show, you know, who she was and her personality but in the end she was still convicted. >> wild story. all right, whit, thank you. we turn to what could be the biggest box office opening ever, 4,600 theaters across the country overnight and people have been lining up all night long to see it. they've been in line for hours and the movie is already breaking records and t.j. holmes is at a theater here in new york city, so, t.j., did you get to see it yet? >> reporter: i have seen it, cecilia, and let me tell you what happens at the end. this is really come. no, of course, i can't reveal that but the reason it has a chance to break all these records is because this is not just one movie with a few characters. fans have been along this journey since 2008, 11 years ago, and now this is the 22nd movie in the marvel universe so people are finally getting to see how this entire story ends.

fans were left devastated last year. the world's mightiest heroes vanished right before our eyes. >> we're in the end game now. >> reporter: but today the suspense is finally over and the avengers are set to snap box office records into dust. 8,000 show times of the movie have already sold out. theater chains are even adding more just to keep up with demand. >> we will. >> reporter: and some lucky fans got the opportunity to see the biggest cinematic event.

we haven't left the theater whatsoever. >> reporter: but today that wait is finally over. >> my head is going to explode off of my shoulders. i've been waiting my whole life for this movie. >> reporter: and for millions worldwide who have yet to see the movie, the message is clear. >> please, do not spoil "endgame." >> reporter: okay, this is a big deal, folks. people have been waiting 22 movies and 11 years to see how this ends. the directors actually put out a letter to fans pleading with them, do not spoil this movie, and there's a hashtag going around don't spoil "endgame" so a couple folks seeing a 6:30, 7:00 showing. they're the first to see it and begging everybody not spoil it. >> i take it you won't spoil it, t.j.? >> reporter: you know what, george, i'll send you an email. >> text us. thanks, t.j. we've been talking about it all morning, one of the avengers, antman, paul rudd will be here live in our next hour. coming up, exclusive with

[ applause ] >> reporter: and while he didn't mention president trump by name, he made his focus clear.

>> i'm hoping that in a couple of years we'll look back and say whether it's me or anybody else replacing him that this is an aberration in american history. this four years, because it's not who we are. >> reporter: overnight in an interview with fox news, the president took aim at biden. >> he's not the brightest lightbulb in the group, i don't think, but he has a name that they know. >> reporter: the biden campaign is facing another hurdle. his long track record in the senate. the campaign revealed thursday that biden spoke with anita hill expressing regret for what she endured. as senate judiciary committee chairman a 48-year-old ran the confirmation hearings for supreme court nominee clarence thomas. >> can you tell the committee what was the most embarrassing of all the incidences that you have alleged? >> reporter: anita hill famously testified that thomas had

harassed her. in turn many feel she was eviscerated by lawmakers. anita hill tells "the new york times" that that conversation with biden which happened earlier this month left her feeling unsatisfied that he has genuinely accepted responsibility for what she says is the harm he caused her. she says it is not enough just to say i'm sorry. she wants to see real change in him, george. >> she'll watch for more. terry moran, thanks very much. we turn to that measles emergency. it's led to two massive quarantines at two universities in los angeles. cdc says 700 measles cases have been reported across the u.s. and we want to bring in our chief medical correspondent dr. jen ashton for more on this. pretty scary stuff the way it is spreading. if people had the vaccine years and years ago, do they have to be worried? do they have to get tested? >> they really don't have to be tested. that's not what the blood test was designed for. if you think you've been vaccinated you do not need to think about getting that blood test. it's expensive and oftentimes the results can put us in a gray

zone where another vaccine is recommended. >> how about booster shots? >> no booster shot necessary for measles. if you are vaccinated you're considered to have lifelong immunity. >> we should not sugar coat this. measles is dangerous. >> i mean, this is something that we have to put in context historically and medically. most health care providers have never seen a case of measles since it was considered eradicated in the u.s. back in 2000. now we're likely going to see the highest numbers in 25 years. it absolutely can be deadly. there is about one in two out of a thousand cases can be deadly especially for children. and, remember, in terms of the symptoms, which most people have never seen, we're talking about things that can look like the common cold only worse, cough, red eyes, runny nose, a rash that appears three to five days after the symptoms start, very high fever. the tragic thing with this, george, and we can't emphasize this, this outbreak is avoidable and it is preventable. >> you can be infectious before the rash shows up? >> exactly. >> okay, dr. jen ashton, thanks very much. i know you'll stick around.

you have some new guidelines for scene time with kids coming up. harry and kate all smiles amid rumors of the rift, the royal rift. the latest on that as we also wait for the royal baby. plus, get excited, "avengers" fans, antman himself paul rudd is here. plus, we have a great audience and we'll be right back. reat audience and we'll be right back.

[ applause ] to our cover story, prince ches tryg to put rumors of a royal rift to rest. they appeared together in public. you see them there and eva pilgrim is in london where the baby could be coming any day. hey, eva.

>> reporter: hey, george. the wait is on. any day this baby is expected and every move is now being watched as people look for a hint as to when this baby could arrive. meanwhile, harry putting to bed a family tension appearing pretty chummy with sister-in-law kate. kate and harry clearly united thursday as they arrive for a service at westminster abbey. this royal duo keeping each other company while prince william carries out an official visit in new zealand and mom-to-be meghan stays home, baby sussex due any time now. >> you'd often see the two on engagements laughing and joking so yesterday's appearance was a reminder of how close that relationship is and how it remained throughout the years. >> reporter: since last year's wedding, rumors of a fight between the sussexs and cambridges have been swirling.

several uk newspapers claiming the so-called fab four were on rocky terms. at first it was that kate and meghan didn't get along, that the two duchesses clashed during the wedding preparations. the move to frogmore and the announcement that harry and meghan were splitting from the kensington palace household apparent proof of royal discord. >> it was inevitable that william and harry would go their separate ways. both men in their 30s with different priorities but sources say that the two of them are actually closer than they have been in a long time. it's the rumors of tensions between royal family members that will continue to drive sales of newspapers and tabloids here in the uk. >> reporter: each time the four have been seen together, their body language picked apart for signs of tension. the latest speculation, a bust-up between the brothers fueled by the fact that harry didn't walk to the easter service with will and kate. >> after sunday's easter service william and kate paid a surprise visit to meghan at frogmore cottage. it was the first time visiting the new home but, of course, meghan wasn't at the service so it was also an opportunity for them to see how she's doing, check up on her.

>> reporter: and just this morning, the sussex royal instagram posting calling for unity around the world. now, as for if there's any truth to these rumors, it's really hard to know what goes on behind palace walls. what we do know is that nothing unifies a family like a baby. >> thanks very much. to cecilia. we turn to a "gma" parenting alert. the world health organization is out with new guidelines about screen time for children. our chief medical correspondent dr. jennifer ashton is back with more on this. >> good morning. >> tell us about these new recommendations. >> the world health organization falling in line with other professional organizations because every person who has a little person in their life is dealing with screen time now so let's break it down. there are new recommendations basically in keeping with other guidelines but they're saying zero to two years no screen time, zero. from 2 to 5, one-hour maximum in a 24-hour period and i should

also add this isn't just about screen time but making recommendatio aut sleep saying 0 to 5-year-olds should get 10 to 14 hours and activity, up to three hours of physical activity a day, and most of the time if you're looking at a screen you can't be sleeping or physical active. >> what defines screen time, a question a lot of parents have. is it tv, computer, the tablet? >> they're hoping they have one device that's out of the picture. literally anything with a screen, tvs, smartphones, tablets, anything with a screen qualifies and i think the other important thing here, we don't have decades of long-term data about the effects on a very young brain of all this screen time which is now part of our life. so there can be pros and cons. there can be educational devices clearly. it's not all bad or all good. but in this very vulnerable time period when brains are actively and aggressively developing, we really want to err on the side of caution and don't know the long-term effects yet. >> you know every parent out there who struggles with this is going there are some

pros. we have to talk about the realities of parenting and caregiving, sometimes you need these devices. you need a break? >> oh, yeah, so i will say i was very impressed that the world health organization was sensitive to this guilt factor. they understand the reality and the logistics of caring for a small baby or a toddler when you have to do something else. true story, cecilia, i watched a friend's baby during a hockey game. that baby started to cry, i whipped out my phone so quickly, so we have all been there. but i think that -- >> doctor's orders. >> been there, done that. i think the key here, if you are in doubt, talk or walk it out. go old school. read, play, engage in games where there's human-human interaction, that's always safer. >> always good stuff. dr. ashton, thanks. over to rob. >> all right, cecilia, well, we had all the kids here yesterday, bring your kids to work day. i think after that they're all passed out backstage potentially on sam's floaty unicorn or fighting over it for sure. we've had babies and cats. for the first time on "gma" this is a parrot riding a roomba.

it means a great deal for me to be here. >> reporter: it's been 13 years since craig became the most famous spy in "casino royale." >> coming on to something like this changes your life in ways that you could just never guess. most of it for the better. i mean for sure. >> i knew it was too early to promote you. >> well, i understand 00s have a very short life expectancy. >> i have always watched bond movies when i was a kid so i knew what was going on but when i took it on, i read every book, i watched every movie and took everything i could and just tried to absorb as much as i could. >> james bond. >> realizing i didn't want to repeat what had gone before and i thought i know how to act and i'll do it and the feel for it will come through. i mean, i didn't kind of have a grand plan. >> reporter: and it worked. craig brought emotional depth, humanity to the character and under his reign the legendary franchise has become a box office juggernaut. >> what took you so long? >> the emotional complexity and

the vulnerability through the last four films, there's a humanity there that i think is a lot different than previous iterations of the character. >> i love being part of this franchise. it's unlike any other. ultimately it's a family. >> are you ready to get back to work? >> with pleasure. >> it's really generously massively exciting. there's been a good break and i needed a break and it feels like it's the right time to come back and do it. >> okay. give me something. >> i'm kind of nervous but in a really good way. >> you know it's going to be great. >> so good. >> really good. >> bond 25 slated to hit theaters next year. coming up here, "avengers" star paul rudd, he is here live.

♪ use the stones again. >> we've been going in shorthanded. >> he's still got the stone. >> so let's get him. use them to bring everybody back. >> just like that? >> yeah, just like that. >> even if there's a small chance that we can undo this, i mean we owe it to everyone who is not in this room to try. >> if we do this, how do we know it's going to end any differently than it did before? >> because before you didn't have me. [ applause ] >> there you go. i know you've been waiting for so long. "avengers: endgame" came out last night. already breaking records officially in theaters today. >> should we get to it and bring out one of the "avengers" right now? his tiny character plays a big role in the new movie. the man of the hour, antman, paul rudd. [ cheers and applause ] ♪

>> good morning. >> thank you. [ applause ] >> do you like to be called tiny all the time? >> what's that? >> do you like to be called tiny all the time? >> tiny all the time. i get that a lot. it's true. >> it's finally out. you got to see it for the first time at the premiere on monday. >> yeah, that's right. >> give us your big review. >> it was -- i thought it was great. [ laughter ] i mean, you know, i'm a little biased but, you know, i think taking the most objective stance i could -- i thought it was fantastic. >> well, it's out and open now. you guys have to keep secrets for a very long time. >> right. >> do they now say, okay, you can go talk about it? we could ask what the ending is and officially you could tell us or no, not yet? >> nobody has said anything to

me so until they do i'm just going to keep my mouth shut and i still, you know, i play it really safe and don't even talk about "the sixth sense" and that's been out for years. [ laughter ] so even more important review, your kids. what did they think? >> they loved it. yeah. they're really into the mcu and all of the films so we all went to the premiere together and they were blown away. >> forget about press tour. you can keep a secret on a press tour. how do you keep the secret at home? >> you just -- i think they've learned at this point to just stop asking. [ laughter ] my 9-year-old daughter has -- although she will still say, you can tell me. i'm not going to tell anybody. [ laughter ] and i just say, i don't know. i really don't know. >> makes it easier. >> that's the way to keep it. >> yeah, that's probably the safest bet. >> you play antman. have you thought about if you could play any other avenger, which one you would be? >> i haven't given that too much thought because i'm not so sure they'd cast me as any other avenger.

except maybe thor just because hemsworth and i are -- we're just so physically similar. [ laughter ] >> there is that. >> so i could see -- they wouldn't have to adjust the costume too much. so i guess thor. >> we had jeremy renner on the other day. he said you made him laugh so hard he's got a six pack. >> well, if that's true, the same applies, that guy cracks me up. he's the best. he's the best guy. he really -- no joke. i mean, you know, i've known him for awhile and it was really fun to do all the kind of -- all press with him and actually i did some with scarlett johansson and chris hemsworth and they were all incredible and a lot of fun. jeremy is a good guy and great actor. >> do you spend more time together on the tour than actually filming? >> probably. yeah, because we're going to these different places every

day, and we're kind of sitting in a hotel room behind a plant and a poster and -- >> why do they do that? they always do that. >> by the way, i always wondered until i got into this business, why do so many actors sit in black, dark rooms next to a fern. [ laughter ] and, oh, that's how that works. and every five minutes somebody else comes in and, you know -- >> so you're hosting "snl" for the fourth time. this is going to be the -- [ applause ] >> yeah. >> in may. >> yeah. >> but you already have your work cut out for you apparently because your co-star, "avenger"" co-star scarlett johansson says she'll mess with you when you're on so are you ready? did you hear that and are you ready? >> just heard this. [ laughter ] >> just in. >> it's already. if it messes me up they'll edit it out and then they'll fix it for when it's on tv. >> what are the possibilities if scarlett johansson is going to mess with you, what is the first thing that runs through your mind?

>> well, by the way, it's the most nerve-racking thing in the world. i've done it a couple of times and each time i think why do people put themselves through this? it's terrifying, and if scarlett were to do something, yeah, oh, god. >> you change things right up to the last minute. >> yeah, yeah, they'll change it in between -- kind of do a run through for dress and change it for the show. that's always -- i thought that was so funny when bill hader would do stefon, sometimes he's reading those cue cards for the first time live on tv and he would start laughing because john mulaney would have written something he's never seen specifically to throw him off so maybe if scarlett does something like that, i'll just go like hader does. >> you seem like you all get along and it's a fun group. >> it is. it's a really fun group. i mean, i'm pretty new to it. but it's been an incredible experience and i'm really lucky to be surrounded by such great actors and such nice people.

>> and you're going to be breaking all kinds of records this weekend. congratulations for that. >> wow. well, i have very little to do with that but thank you. >> "avengers: endgame" in theaters right now and coming up, more of our taylor swift exclusive. she drops her new song. ♪ se ] yoooh, hello yellow! at ross and you find... yes! that's yes for less. spring forward with the latest brand-name styles at 20 to 60 percent off department store prices. at ross. yes for less.
