Avengers Infinity War leaks: Is THIS character RETURNING? Big news for Iron Man

Avengers 4 is currently in production – and now it seems Ty Simpkins will be back to star in it.

The young actor previously played Harley Kenner in Iron Man 3, and according to IMDb, the 16-year-old will reprise the role.

IMDb tweeted last night: “Remember @TYSIMPKINSactor from #IronMan3? Ty has just been added to Untitled #Avengers Movie (2019) as Harley Keener.”

Harley was Tony Stark’s nosy friend in Iron Man 3, and it’s unknown what sort of part he’ll play in the story going forward.

It’s worth noting, though, that IMDb is not completely reliable – anybody is able to edit film pages – however the fact the site actually tweeted it on their verified account certainly implies it’s legitimate.

Avengers 4 is thought to begin with a funeral sequence – after a casting call recruited extras for a memorial scene.

Other than that, plot details are thin on the ground, with even Infinity War’s synopsis still largely a mystery.

Another name linked to a possible comeback is Hayley Atwell, who has played Peggy Carter in previous Captain America instalments.

Posting Instagram updates from Georgia – where Avengers 4 is thought to be being filmed – she has sparked speculation that she could return in some capacity.

Both Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers 4 are preceded by Thor: Ragnarok, which releases this week amid glowing reviews.

Avengers 4 is out in 2019.
