Journalist Tweets That An Avengers Cast Member Was A ‘Complete Fucking Asshole’ During Junket: An Investigation

The Avengers: Infinity War promo tour has been in full swing for the past few days, and the star-studded cast has been jetting all over the world to promote the ginormous sequel.

They all seem lovely, and we've heard them talk time and again about what a family the Marvel Cinematic Universe is — but is one of them that weird asshole cousin?

Entertainment journalist Steven "Frosty" Weintraub, editor-in-chief of Collider, had some very choice words about one of the stars on

Well, at least we can do a little Sherlock-ing and rule some folks out — starting with the Sherlocks!

Robert Downey Jr. wasn't part of this press junket. After the big press conference, he seems to have jetted off. No one has one-on-one interviews with him. Same with Scarlett Johansson. Guess they have the star power and seniority to get out of rapid fire interviews at this point, at least when there are so many other stars to speak with.

Next, we can eliminate Benedict Cumberbatch and Tom Holland, whose interview has already hit Collider's YouTube channel.

Next, cross off Mark Ruffalo, Chadwick Boseman, Danai Gurira, and Tom Hiddleston, whose interviews Weintraub has since teased on Twitter:

editing and writing. Expect some of this on @collider tomorrow….#avengersinfintywar #Marvel pic.twitter.com/b8LbjA2WRr

Hmm…

It definitely wasn't Chris Evans. Not just because Captain America hates bullies but because he's in New York City doing his broadway play Lobby Hero.

He also said "he" so we can eliminate Elizabeth Olsen, Zoe Saldana, and Pom Klementieff.

So what we're left with is Chris Pratt, Anthony Mackie, Sebastian Stan, Winston Duke, Paul Bettany, Dave Bautista, and Josh Brolin.

So which one is it??

Several fans seem to think it's Mackie, AKA Falcon.

Why? He has a little history with "Frosty" — they had a bit of an awkward interview nearly three years ago when Weintraub brought up Mackie's disdain for the DC movies, leading to an argument over Man Of Steel:

But Mackie was grouped with Winston Duke and Sebastian Stan during interviews. Would M'Baku and mmmBucky really have let him go off for "4 minutes" without saying anything?

In fact, the only one giving interviews by himself was the villain of the movie, Thanos, AKA Brolin.

Could he have gone off on Weintraub for some reason??

Which Avenger do YOU think did it??
