New ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ Set Photo Reveals Benedict Cumberbatch Wearing Iron Man Armor in a Deleted Scene
Over the weekend, ComicBook.com held a live watch party for Avengers: Infinity War, and they were able to secure the involvement of co-writers Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely on the site’s Twitter account. During the film, McFeely shared a never-before-seen set photo that has Benedict Cumberbatch wearing Iron Man’s armor, or at least the pieces of it that are used on set for a frame of reference for the visual effects artists.
This isn’t the first time we’ve gotten a glimpse of this deleted sequence by way of the set of Avengers: Infinity War. Some behind the scenes footage surfaced at one point revealing this shot of Robert Downey Jr. wearing Doctor Strange’s Cloak of Levitation.
It was thought that maybe Downey was just messing around on set, but now we know it’s from a scene where Stark and Strange swapped wardrobes for a bit, which is a very comic book thing for the writers of Infinity War to do. We just wish we could actually see the scene in question, even if the visual effects aren’t done.
