Here's everything you need to know about The Rizzler
The 9-year-old TikTok sensation boasts 6 million followers on the platform, and on Wednesday, April 30, he left fans in awe with his appearance at the special screening of the film. The event was hosted by The Cinema Society, and it took place at the iPic Theater in New York City.
For the unversed, Joseph was first propelled to fame back in 2023 when a video of him clad in a Black Panther Halloween costume went viral. This time, he opted for Red Guardian's costume, the character portrayed by David Harbour. While Harbour did not attend the screening, it appears that the child stepped in his stead.
Photos from the screening show a star-studded lineup in attendance, including Florence Pugh, Lewis Pullman, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Wyatt Russell, Geraldine Viswanathan, Hannah John-Kamen, and director Jake Schreier.
In one of his TikTok videos posted after the event, the child star can be seen jokingly walking up to the theater’s ticket counter and demanding, “Two tickets, please.” When the employee asked, “For what movie?” the young man gestured to his suit, as if to say it was apparent what the answer was.
