Watch 'Avengers: Endgame' cast sing 'We Didn't Start the Fire'
Jimmy Fallon strikes again. (In a good way.)
The “Tonight Show” host marked Monday’s Los Angeles premiere of the latest (and supposedly final) Avengers movie — “Avengers: Endgame” — with a special video version of Billy Joel’s “We Didn’t Start the Fire.”
Fallon, being Fallon, got many members of the cast to lip-sync new lyrics to Joel’s No. 1 song.
“Tony Start/Iron Man/Nick Fury/has a plan.”
and
“Captain Rogers/World War II/Bucky/Betty/I love you/First Avenger/Here we go/Everyone, assemble”
In a neat illustration of comic book panels, Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Jeremy Renner, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Paul Rudd, Brie Larson and others appeared as themselves.

All the while, Fallon himself was hand drumming as Billy Joel (dark sunglasses and black jacket).

The video aired late Monday on “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.”
The movie opens wide on Friday, April 26.
