Los Angeles, Mar 27 (PTI) Chris Evans and Ryan Reynolds played real-life superheros as they joined forces to fulfil the wish of a dying 11-year-old boy named Emilio.

Fox News anchor Shannon Bream asked Twitter users on Sunday for assistance in making Emilio’s wish come true.

Bream tweeted, “Need your help Twitterverse trying to help a young boy who is dying. He probably has just days and all he (wants) is a greeting from one of the Avengers.” Evans, who plays Captain America, and Reynolds, who portrays Deadpool, responded on Twitter to help make the child’s wish come true. Evans replied, “Happy to! DM me.” Reynolds took a more funny approach that is true to his quick-witted character and wrote, “I’m more of a ‘Reserve Avenger.’ But happy to help. DM me.” Paul Bettany, who played Vision in “Captain America: Civil War” and “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” also showed his support. He tweeted, “I’m the purple one. DM me.” Even Zachary Levi, who starred in two of the “Thor” movies and will soon play hero Shazam in the DC Comics, replied to Bream’s request.

After receiving a swarm of replies, Bream thanked the volunteers for their support and tweeted that “major progress” had been made in fulfilling the wish of the child.
