FUN FACTS & TRIVIA

When Chris Barra was laying on the ground after filming his fist bump reaction, an actual park-goer thought he was hurt and called 911. An ambulance and a fire truck showed up.

The Infinity Gauntlet used on screen is the Marvel Legends Series Infinity Gauntlet Articulated Electronic Fist. Cast members with smaller hands experienced more difficulty articulating the gauntlet.

Clay Gibson improvised all of his lines while trying to open the pickle jar.
