ANAHEIM, Calif. – A few friends of “The Avengers” touched down at the D23 Expo.

Tom Hiddleston, Natalie Portman and Anthony Hopkins from “Thor: The Dark World” and Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie and Chris Evans from “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” appeared on stage Saturday at the celebration of all things Disney.

Hiddleston apologized for not donning his Loki costume, which he wore earlier this summer at Comic-Con.

Evans jokingly invited the crowd at California’s Anaheim Convention Center to join him at Disneyland across the street.

Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige showed footage of the sequels, including two never-before-seen clips, and a teaser for “The Avengers: Age of Ultron.”

“The Dark World” is set for release Nov. 8, while “The Winter Soldier” will hit April 4, 2014.
