The Avengers assemble in a new photo shared from the Infinity War set
As production continues today on the massive superhero ensemble that is Avengers: Infinity War, star Robert Downey Jr. has taken to social media to share a shot of he and co-stars Benedict Cumberbatch, Mark Ruffalo and Benedict Wong on their lunch break. There doesn’t appear to be any shawarma this time around, but it’s still a fun tease getting to see some new Avengers assemble. Getting Doctor Strange, Iron Man, Hulk and Wong together is just the beginning, however. Earlier this week, Scarlett Johansson promised a scene featuring 32 different Marvel characters!
