Jimmy Kimmel got Avengers: Infinity War cast to read mean tweets about themselves

'Benedict Cumberbatch always looks like he's had an allergic reaction to bad shrimp,' read one tweet

Marvel's self-proclaimed "most ambitious crossover event in history" is creating an unsurprising amount of online buzz.

Avengers: Infinity War has scored the biggest opening weekend of all time at both the domestic and worldwide box office: $250 million in North America and $380 million elsewhere for an eye-watering global total of $630 million.

Unsurprisingly, the film's enormous cast has been the talk of the town, with Jimmy Kimmel gathering a large chunk of their number for a special Avengers edition of his Mean Tweets series.

So behold: Tom Hiddleston, Anthony Mackie, Scarlett Johansson, Sebastian Stan, Winston Duke, Elizabeth Olsen, Don Cheadle, Dave Bautista, Benedict Cumberbatch, Tom Holland, Samuel L. Jackson, Paul Rudd, Karen Gillan, Paul Bettany, Chadwick Boseman, Chris Pratt and Chris Evans all being trolled by the internet.

A few hilarious gems include: "Benedict Cumberbatch always looks like he's had an allergic reaction to bad shrimp" and "Ever notice how Samuel L. Jackson looks like a snapping turtle?"

Avengers: Infinity War is out now.
