From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum.

Captain America: Civil War was absolutely jam-packed with Marvel characters, some of which were basically glorified cameos thanks to their little screen-time.

Already, the cast list for Avengers: Infinity War is overflowing with famous actors, including Robert Downey Jr (Iron Man), Chris Evans (Captain America), Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow), Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Mark Ruffalo (Hulk), Benedict Cumberbatch (Doctor Strange), Samuel L. Jackson (Nick Fury), Paul Rudd (Ant-Man), Chris Pratt (Star Lord), Bradley Cooper (Rocket), and Vin Diesel (Groot).

That’s not all, of course: there’s also Josh Brolin (Thanos) and Karen Gillan (Nebula) along with Game of Thrones actor Peter Dinklage who is also rumoured to have a currently unspecified role.

Well, another actor - already seen in the Marvel Universe - has been all-but-officially confirmed to be appearing in the third Avengers film.

Benicio Del Toro, who plays The Collector in Thor: The Dark World and Guardians of the Galaxy, has been spotted in Atlanta where Infinity War (and Black Panther) is currently filming.

Previously, Brolin did a live-stream on Instagram in which he revealed he would be filming scenes with Del Toro for the film. The clip has since been deleted.

Previously, it was revealed by James Gunn that neither Brolin's Thanos or Del Toro's Collector would appear in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.

Meanwhile, in other Marvel news, the Super Bowl trailer for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 was released, revealing new members of the superhero team.
