Marvel stars who have been filming in Atlanta helped raise at least $500,000 for hurricane recovery efforts in Puerto Rico at a Monday night event at the Fox Theatre.
Scarlett Johansson came up with the idea to pull together a benefit event. Her colleagues Chris Evans, Jeremy Renner, Mark Ruffalo and Robert Downey Jr., all of whom have been in town filming Marvel’s latest “Avengers” project, eagerly joined the effort. Atlanta’s Tony-winning director Kenny Leon served as director.
