'Avengers: Infinity War' is set to hit cinemas on 27th April so it's not long before we'll bear witness to the Marvel Cinematic Universe's biggest super-hero reunion (more than 70 characters are set to appear). The film will also showcase one of the Avengers' new skills. Thanks to Entertainment Weekly, we've already seen Iron Man's new armour, but we're yet to see it in action.

Tony Stark's new armour, known as Bleeding Edge, has a few new features, including propellers that stick out from his back and arms. The new propellers mean that Iron Man will be able to move with ease as he propels himself through the air.

In the comics, the Bleeding Edge armour was created through the use of nanotechnology, and the propellers were a part of Tony Stark's body, meaning he didn't have to don any further equipment to make use of his new skills. Whilst we don't know if such features will have made it into the film, what we do know for sure is that the new suit means at least part of Iron Man's battles in 'Infinity War' will take place in the air.

The future for Robert Downey Jr.

On top of introducing the new armour, Entertainment Weekly managed to bag an interview with Robert Downey Jr., the actor behind the super-hero. When asked about his future as Iron Man, the actor responded that he'll probably take a well deserved break away from the MCU to focus on other projects after having filmed 'Infinity War' and 'Avengers 4': "When I'm done with this, if you hear I'm not taking a break, call me and tell me I'm crazy".
