“Now here comes the roast,” Downey Jr. said. His roast was themed around “The Avengers,” with the actor saying that he had reached out to fellow superhero stars, asking them to provide three words describing Hemsworth. 

“First off, [Jeremy] Renner says, ‘Absurdly annoyingly amazing.’ [Mark] Ruffalo came in strong with, ‘Friend from work,’” Downey Jr. shared with the audience. 

“Scarlett [Johansson] got to the heart of it with ‘sensitive leading lady.’ Captain America [Chris Evans] calls him ‘second-best Chris.’ “
