The Avengers movie stars are assembling once again to give praise to a brave, little boy. Robert Downey Jr. and Tom Holland have joined their Avengers cast mates in speaking with 6-year-old Bridger Walker, who saved his younger sister from an attacking dog on July 9, 2020.
Bridger’s aunt, Nicole Noel Walker, first caught the attention of Captain America actor Chris Evans on social media. Nicole asked the cast of Avengers if they could offer words of encouragement to Bridger as he recovers. The boy suffered several bites to his head and required 90 stitches after protecting his younger sister.
Ever since, Bridger’s family has documented each conversation between the celebrities and Bridger via social media. His aunt shared that Evans had sent Bridger a video message in which he promised to give him an authentic Captain America shield, and now Downey Jr. and Holland have followed suit.
You can watch the video message Robert Downey Jr. sent to Bridger below. The Iron Man actor calls Bridger a rockstar and promises a special surprise for the boy.
Meanwhile, Tom Holland spoke to Bridger on a video call and invited him to come to the set of the next Spider-Man film.
“If you ever want to come to set and hang out, and see the Spider-Man suit up close, and hang out with us, you’re always welcome,” Holland said. “I want to say you are so brave, mate,” he added. “We are all so proud of you, and your little sister is so lucky to have someone like you.”
We hope Bridger has a speedy recovery!
