Benedict Cumberbatch, Tom Hiddleston, Tom Holland, Elizabeth Olsen, Letitia Wright, Sebastian Stan and Paul Bettany were among the stars who showed up for a fan event in London to celebrate the launch of the upcoming movie "Avengers: Infinity War."

The cast of characters in the film includes the Avengers, Black Panther, Star-Lord and the Guardians of the Galaxy, Spider-Man, played by Holland, and Doctor Strange, played by Cumberbatch.

"It was my first rodeo as an 'Avenger' Avenger. I was like 'oh wow' and everyone else was like, 'you'll calm down in a minute, you've done this before' and it's kind of daunting when you're working with characters, let alone actors, who you've admired and watched as a fan," said Cumberbatch.

"So you get over that hump and realize you're here to do a good day's work and try and make it fun and pass quickly or just get it right and they're your colleagues and friends. But I had a really good time doing this, really good time," he added.

Veterans of the Marvel movie world, such as Bettany, said the cast of the Avengers are all "mates" after having worked on the project for so long.
