Robert Downey Jr., who plays Tony Stark (a.k.a. Iron Man) has teamed up with Omaze to offer fans the chance to visit the set of the highly-anticipated Avengers: Infinity War this summer, according to Collider. The lucky winner and a friend will get flown out to Atlanta where production is taking place, put up in a 4-star hotel and enjoy unprecedented access to the set and cast, including RDJ himself and his co-stars.
This is the next in a new and frankly awesome trend of new blockbuster movies helping to support charity organizations. This particular Omaze campaign funds the Random Act Funding grant, founded by Susan and Robert Downey (yup), which offers financial support at local, national and global levels.
Downey Jr. appears in the campaign video with co-star Tom Holland, the young British sensation who plays Peter Parker/Spider-Man. It even offers a sneak peak of the production, showing the pair of actors fully wrapped in motion capture suits on a set familiar to anyone who watched the first behind-the-scenes footage released by Marvel way back in February. Check it out:
No synopsis has yet been released, but everyone is fairly confidently assuming that Avengers: Infinity War will follow a story in which the Avengers and the Guardians will go up against Thanos and the Infinity Gauntlet, thanks to comments from Marvel boss Kevin Feige.
Avengers: Infinity War stars Robert Downey Jr, Chris Evans, Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Benedict Cumberbatch, Benedict Wong, Scarlett Johansson, Brie Larson, Cobie Smulders, Elizabeth Olson, Jeremy Renner, Sebastian Stan, Peter Dinklage, Chadwick Boseman, Chris Hemsworth, Karen Gillian, Bradley Cooper, Samuel L. Jackson, Paul Rudd, Josh Brolin, Paul Bettany, and Mark Ruffalo. It is due for release on May 4, 2018.
In the meantime, you can catch Robert Downey Jr. and Tom Holland in Spider-Man: Homecoming on July 7, this year.
