Brian Brett, the chief of the Wenatchee Valley Fire Department, told the New York Times, “[The people in attendance] started to move away from what was falling from the ceiling. A very large section of framed-in area underneath the roof came loose and dropped into about the first three rows of seats in the old historic theater.”
Marvel‘s Captain America 4 also stars Danny Ramirez as Joaquin Torres/Falcon, Shira Haas as Ruth-Bat Seraph, Carl Lumbly as Isaiah Bradley, Giancarlo Esposito as Seth Voelker/Sidewinder, Liv Tyler as Betty Ross, and Tim Blake Nelson as Samuel Sterns.
