Paul Rudd auctions off 'Avengers: Doomsday' premiere tickets for $100,000 at charity event

Paul Rudd has auctioned off two tickets to the world premiere of Avengers: Doomsday, raising $100,000 for charity during the Big Slick Celebrity Weekend in Kansas City.

The actor, who is set to reprise his role as Scott Lang/Ant-Man in the upcoming Marvel film, offered the exclusive experience as part of a live auction supporting Children’s Mercy Hospital. The winning bid secured two premiere tickets in Los Angeles, access to the film’s after-party, and the chance to attend the event alongside Rudd himself.

According to reports, the moment took place during the annual Big Slick charity event, which Rudd co-founded alongside fellow actors Rob Riggle and Jason Sudeikis. The long-running fundraiser has grown into a major entertainment weekend featuring comedy, live performances and high-profile auction items, and has raised tens of millions of dollars for the hospital over the years.

Rudd reportedly made the offer on stage in a joking tone, introducing the Marvel project as a “little independent film” before revealing details of the premiere experience. The winning bid quickly reached $100,000, marking one of the highest amounts ever raised for a single item at the event.

The auction has drawn attention as anticipation builds for Avengers: Doomsday, which continues Marvel’s expanding multiverse storyline and features a large ensemble cast. Rudd’s involvement both on and off screen has kept interest high, with his Ant-Man character expected to play a supporting leadership role in the new chapter of the franchise.

The film is scheduled for release on December 18, 2026, with promotional momentum steadily increasing as Marvel prepares for its next major cinematic crossover.
