So far, the massive Durham Cathedral sequence for Avengers: Infinity War has seen a number of big names joining the action, including Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Mark Ruffalo (The Hulk) and Tessa Thompson (Valkyrie), and now according to a source divulging information to Chronicle Live, Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man) and Samuel L. Jackson (Nick Fury) are expected to drop in on the festivities.
Not much information is available on what is going on over there in Durham, but we do know that the same Asgardian statue that Thor saw in his nightmare vision during Avengers: Age of Ultron was spotted on set, so it’s a pretty solid bet that it has some relation to that sequence. A stand in for Rocket Raccoon also appeared in some set photos, so it looks like it is bringing in characters from all corners of the MCU.
