It's thought some of the stars of the new Avengers movie are to visit Edinburgh next month for a special screening of the movie.

It's being reported that an event will take place in the capital on April 10th with actors Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany as well as Co-Director Joe Russo in attendance.

They will show the opening scenes of the blockbuster which feature scenes shot in the capital last summer.

The film, which will be released in the UK on April 27th, is the most expensive movie ever made.

Rosie Ellison, from Film Edinburgh, says: "We've all been thinking is Edinburgh going to be in it? Is it not? But we now have that confirmation from leaked footage. As for how much of the film that will be we still don't know, but we'll know more I'm sure after this preview."

"Not only has Edinburgh been chosen as this to-die-for location for the movie, but you can clearly see that the people of Edinburgh have gotten right behind it and are celebrating it. I think this bodes well for the future.
