The star-studded blockbuster film franchise will be making its way to Edinburgh next week to begin filming for the latest instalment in the Avengers series.

The film’s crew will arrive this weekend to set up equipment on Cockburn Street and filming will begin on Monday. It’s currently unclear which cast members will be around, but considering that the cast and crew will be back filming for a week from March 30th on the Royal Mile, there still might be a chance that you’ll bump into Scarlett Johansson or Robert Downey Jr on your way to the Tron.

Local residents have been warned that there might be “small explosions” on April 2nd and April 6th.

Other cast members include Chris Pratt, Chris Evans, Tom Hiddleston, Vin Diesel, Mark Ruffalo and Jeremy Renner.
