In an interview with Panzer TV prior to the release of "Guardians of the Galaxy" in 2014, Pratt said that he "stole the jacket and some of the wardrobe so that, if this movie comes out and does what everyone hopes it can, I can follow the example of someone — say, like, a Russell Wilson — and go visit kids."

He added: "If it was a big enough movie to where it would mean something to a kid who's sick in the hospital for Peter Quill or Star-Lord to come visit them, I'll do that. I think that's awesome, man. That would give me real meaning for this movie, you know?"

The movie was a hit upon its release and Pratt visited patients at Children's Hospital LA in August 2014 in his costume.

The following year, Pratt and Evans (who dressed in his Captain America suit) surprised patients at Seattle Children's Hospital and Christopher's Haven in Boston.

"For my birthday they sent me the scarf that Loki wears in the trailer scene in Thor," Hiddleston told Collider. "Remember when he turns up in a nice suit and overcoat? He is wearing a scarf and so now I am in possession of my Loki scarf."

The actor was referring to a scene in which Loki interrupted Agent Coulson's interrogation of Thor and told the God of Thunder that their father died, which was a lie.

In an interview for BBC Radio 1 in 2020, the actor revealed that he's taken items from every project he's worked on and his house is "littered with props from films."

Holland also said that he has web-shooters from his Spidey suit and Tony Stark's glasses. He also tried and failed to take a suit.

Holland's fall/winter 2019 cover story for GQ Style also revealed that he took blue screen from the set of "Spider-Man: Far From Home" and turned it into a cover for his poker table.

Plus, the actor told Collider that Downey Jr. personally gave his younger brother, Paddy Holland, the original Iron Man mask from the first film.

"Often people stay in there a little longer, and I think it's because of the hammer," Hemsworth said during an appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" in January 2018.

The actor also said that his Mjolnir has a few dents and scratches on it because one of his sons has a habit of trying to lift the "heavy" prop.

Speaking to Kimmel in 2020, Hemsworth showed off the original hammer from the first film and the Stormbreaker, which was forged in "Avengers: Infinity War."

"This has a habit of dancing around to different locations," he said of his hammer. "I put it on the mantelpiece, my wife puts it back in the cupboard. I put it somewhere else on display, it goes back in the cupboard."

According to Evans, Hemsworth also got to keep the full Thor suit.

Chris Evans has one of his Captain America costume's cowls and the iconic shield.

"I'm going to ask for the full suit," he added. "I never asked for the full suit."

"On 'Age of Ultron,' there was a massive Avengers 'A,' which is outside the Avengers center," Downey Jr. said on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" in April 2016. "I have it. I said, 'Why is it in England? Send it back to LA, I'll put it in my office."

Needless to say, the actor did get ahold of the prop.
