Avengers: Infinity War has a joke that's making people 'proud to be Scottish'

'The true hero of Infinity War'

*WARNING: SPOILERS FOR AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR*

Avengers: Infinity War is bringing tears of laughter, tears of joy to Marvel fans everywhere, but there's also a rather unexpected consequence: national pride for the people of Scotland.

Edinburgh has officially been integrated into the MCU: a key sequence was shot in the city centre, seeing heroes battle Thanos' Black Order against the backdrop of Cockburn Street, the Royal Mile, St. Giles' Cathedral, and Waverley Station.

However, there's one particular joke - floating fairly prominently in the background of a shot - that's been a particular talking point for Scottish viewers. One more warning: SPOILERS AHEAD.

We discover fairly early on that Vision and Scarlet Witch are hiding out in the city, since they're now fugitives due to the post-Civil War fallout. It's while standing outside of a kebab restaurant that the pair first learn of the attack on New York and Tony Stark's disappearance, as it's broadcast on the establishment's television screen.

A moment of serious peril, only slightly undercut by the fact the duo are standing right in front of a sign reading, "We will deep fry your kebab". Really, does it get more Scottish than that?

Avengers: Infinity War is out now.
