Assembling the Lakota | Marvel Studios' The Avengers

For the first time in years The Avengers have assembled for an incredible celebration rather than an interstellar confrontation. We give viewers an unforgettable glimpse into the reunion of the original Avengers cast as they team up once more for a noble cause: The Lakota Project. Earth's Mightiest Heroes join together to record and dub the original “The Avengers” in the native Lakota language, streaming now on Disney+, and we're along for the journey.

Mark Ruffalo and members of the initiative sit down with us to share the story of this amazing reunion and its very special cause. From the recording studio to the big screen, we explore this important cinematic milestone and celebrate the release that took over 15 months, 62 Lakota-Dakota language speakers, and the original Avengers team to come together and Assemble!

I remember hearing that Jeremy Renner signed onto this _while he was recovering from his accident_ and still did it, man's a legend for pulling through no matter what

[aresef]

Wow, they actually got the band back together for this? Phenomenal.

[Shaman]

As a Native person myself I think this is AWESOME!!! I had no idea they got the band back together for this. Not many actors would do that, huge props and respect to them!

THATS AMAZING! good on marvel for doing that with the OG cast!!!

This is pretty touching, I remember that I did a thesis paper for my class about preserving lost and endangered languages in any way we can, glad this is one way of doing it.

As a member of the Cree people up here in Canada... I am so in love with this!!! Thank you Marvel and thank you Avengers!!

This will be passed down through generations of Lakota people to enjoy with family and friends.

[Gesundheit]

Woah this is really cool! The og Avengers coming back together to do this is awesome, i'm happy for the Lakota people. This is some real live hero stuff!

This is tough 🔥🔥🔥 original voices is amazing

[Zynnix]

This is cool! I also really loved when they did Kahori's episode of 'What If?' in the Kanien'kéha language because I was learning about that in school at the time. I know just from the few people that I talked to, that a lot of people in that community appreciated it. I'm sure it's the same for the Lakota! I think we should be doing everything we can to help save these endangered languages and put them more in the spotlight so that new generations of kids in these communities can have cool stuff to watch in their own language.

Man this brings back so much nostalgia

[hellodonal]

This is sick!! I can’t wait to rewatch the whole film and hear Lakota being spoken for the first time like this!! Love the intention and trust to make this work.

[WhiteRaven]

Oh, wow! The original six Avengers dubbed themselves? I would love to see this with other movies and languages, like Shang-Chi in Chinese.

[megacrashthehedgehog]

Dang, they actually got the OG avengers to assemble again for this, and for a noble cause too. That's pretty awesome.

[gmmeier]

Wow. Great! That’s voice acting. So many times dubs are just reading lines and it sounds so fake. This had intensity and emotion.

[Johnnyblaze]

This is soooo cool. the fact that the cast came back to record this is amazing.

[kadosho]

Storytelling comes from the heart. To share what we feel inside is a treasure. To go beyond, and see this happen. So good. So happy for everyone

[nicholasmilillomusic]

That's really dope they came back to re dub in the native language ❤

Love this 3000!! I was just watching the PBS series talking about Star Wars and other movies in Navajo.
