It isn’t just the villain Thanos that Marvel’s Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy superheroes must join forces to stop in Avengers: Infinity War—the superhero teams are also standing up to fight cancer.
This week at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), American Airlines, Stand Up To Cancer (SU2C), and Avengers: Infinity War unveiled a custom-wrapped American Airlines aircraft that includes the heroes, alongside the SU2C logo and images of the non-profit’s researchers and American Airline team member cancer survivors, is the newest element in the successful PSA campaign that was announced earlier this month to raise funds, awareness and further SU2C mission to bring groundbreaking therapies and treatments to patients as quickly as possible.
The plane will fly to and from New York City and Los Angeles, reminding passengers and others who see it of SU2C’s mission to make everyone diagnosed with cancer a long-term survivor.
In the film, which hits theaters on April 25, two of the most popular superhero franchises in the galaxy will team up to battle Thanos (Josh Brolin), who arrives on Earth to collect infinity stones for a gauntlet that will allow him to bend reality to his will. The ensemble cast includes Hollywood’s most major players, including (from Avengers): Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Benedict Cumberbatch, Don Cheadle, Tom Holland, Chadwick Boseman, Paul Bettany, Elizabeth Olsen, Anthony Mackie, Sebastian Stan, Idris Elba, Peter Dinklage and Tom Hiddleston, and (from Guardians of the Galaxy) Dave Bautista, Zoe Saldana, Vin Diesel, Bradley Cooper, and Chris Pratt.
