- Chris Hemsworth has five of Thor's hammers and two of his Stormbreakers.
Robert Downey Jr. has the giant "A" from the set of "Avengers: Age of Ultron."
"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.
Chris Evans has one of his Captain America costume's cowls and the iconic shield.
Evans revealed the fun fact while answering some questions for The Hollywood Reporter in 2019.
"I'm going to ask for the full suit," he added. "I never asked for the full suit."
Chris Hemsworth has five of Thor's hammers and two Stormbreakers.
"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.
In a 2022 interview for Marvel Entertainment in support of "Thor: Love and Thunder," Hemsworth said that he stole two different Stormbreakers: one from "Avengers: Endgame" and the other from the fourth "Thor" film.
Chadwick Boseman took the Kimoyo beads from the set of "Black Panther."
Boseman made his debut as T'Challa/Black Panther in 2016's "Captain America: Civil War." In his 2018 standalone movie, T'Challa's genius sister, Shuri, gave him the high-tech beads.
Boseman even wore the accessory during an appearance on ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live" in 2018 to promote "Avengers: Infinity War."
Tom Holland has managed to take a few props, including Tony Stark's glasses.
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.
"Thor: Ragnarok" star Cate Blanchett has a hammer, too.
Blanchett starred as Hela, the "Ragnarok" villain and older sibling of Thor and Loki. In the movie, she crushed the hammer to pieces, but it was retrieved from the past in "Avengers: Endgame."
Blanchett showed off her prop during a 2020 interview with Stephen Colbert.
Tom Hiddleston said he was gifted with the scarf he wore in the first "Thor" movie.
"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.
Chris Pratt said that he took Peter Quill/Star-Lord's red jacket so he could visit children at hospitals, and the actor followed through.
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.
