Earlier this week, we brought you a photo showing Robert Downey Jr. alongside Benedict Cumberbatch, Benedict Wong, and Mark Ruffalo. All but the latter were decked out in new costumes for Avengers: Infinity War, but there's one very interesting details we missed at the time which is now generating an awful lot of speculation online. Have you spotted it yet? Take a closer look at Tony Stark.

Downey Jr.'s top has a circular hole in it right where his arc reactor would be...had he not had it removed at the end of Iron Man 3! This isn't the first photo we've seen from the set which appears to tease the return of the device which helped keep those pieces of shrapnel from Tony's heart, but it leads us to wonder what might have happened to force the hero to once again power his suits through his chest. Could it be that Thanos' initial attack on Earth will leave Iron Man mortally wounded?

It's something which would certainly make a lot of sense. Downey Jr.'s contract is nearing its end and him slowly dying from his wounds would open the door to a last-minute heroic sacrifice as we bid farewell to him. It's hard to say for sure, though, especially as there are so many possible explanations.

What do you guys think of this possible Avengers: Infinity War spoiler? Share your theories below.

Hmmm... feels like a reach article there Josh

pesmerga44 - 6/23/2017, 7:59 AM

@Ineedrevelation - Holy Stretch Armstrong Batman! I don't think even Mister Fantastic can reach that far.

Did the huge whole in his chest get repaired/filled in when he took the arc reactor out? Just because the shrapnel came out doesn't mean the whole was fixed. Did I miss that?

JonC - 6/23/2017, 8:26 AM

Does Strange use the time stone to take Stark back to when he had the reactor in his chest?

BloodyBed - 6/23/2017, 8:33 AM

how is this a reach? there's a hole in his shirt. it's probably for the arc reactor. seems pretty straight-forward to me.

BloodyBed - 6/23/2017, 8:35 AM

ok well the word "major" is a bit of a reach

SuperSomething616 - 6/23/2017, 8:37 AM

@Ineedrevelation - Agreed...there could be a multiverse of reasons why that hole is there...no point speculating about something without hard evidence is there lol

JonAwesome - 6/23/2017, 8:40 AM

@Ineedrevelation - maybe it's laundry day and that's all he had that was clean!

Deonox - 6/23/2017, 8:58 AM

@ALostCause - I think it's a reach just to post a brand new article.

KWilly - 6/23/2017, 7:58 AM

Wow, this article is like an NBA center. Long reach.

TheGoat - 6/23/2017, 8:29 AM

@KWilly - Can you hear all the money clicking into Josh's account for this weekends party binge?

Sh#t excuse for an article. Should have known better. Thank god for ad blockers.

ODanil - 6/23/2017, 7:59 AM

Aren't we reaching a little bit? (I mean, I don't mind...)

SonOfAGif - 6/23/2017, 3:11 PM

@ODanil - I guess Josh forgot about an infinity stone known as the "Time Gem"? I mean it can't be a flashback or Thanos reversing time right?

captquirk - 6/23/2017, 7:59 AM

Could be a rogue junkie moth attack...
