SOME of the world’s biggest stars will be coming to Scotland to shoot the new £400million Avengers blockbuster, Infinity War.

The movie will be filmed in a range of locations across Glasgow, Edinburgh and the Highlands, which will boost the economy by around £10million.

Filming is due to begin at the end of February and will bring stars such as Robert Downey Jr, Samuel L Jackson and Scarlett Johansson to Scotland.

Brad Pitt’s zombie movie World War Z took in over £3million for the economy in 17 days while filming in Glasgow in 2011.

However, Infinity War is likely to bring in a much bigger boost as filming is expected to take around six months.

Glasgow City Council declined to comment on the Marvel film however praised Glasgow’s relationship with the film industry.

A spokesperson told the Sunday Mail: “Glasgow has a proud track record of helping deliver big-budget projects, and we are always keen to speak to people who want to come.”

The third Avengers superheroes movie is set to be a smash after the previous two films took in a combined £3billion at the box office.

The comic book crossover film will show superheroes such as Captain America, Thor, Iron Man and the Incredible Hulk battling on screen.

Infinity War is the first of two new Avengers blockbusters in the pipeline.
