Avengers stars back petition for Edinburgh premiere

Published 12th Mar 2018

Some of the stars of the new Avengers movie have backed a petition calling for a premiere to be held in Edinburgh.

Dave Bautista - who plays Drax - has signed it, while Karen Gillan, Don Cheadle and the film's directors have tweeted their support.

The petition was created by 'mae t' who writes on her change.org page: "We are petitioning to have an Infinity War Premier at Edinburgh, as the city has contributed a lot to filming it.

"We think that this is the perfect chance to showcase what the city has to offer in terms of future Hollywood film productions and premieres.

"More importantly, it would be an honour and a great thank you to the city and its people, and the fans within the city, in their contribution to creating this film."

Filming of Infinity War took over large sections of the capital last year, and saw some of its biggest stars arrive in the city.
