Scarlett Johansson And ‘Infinity War’ Cast Read Really, Really Mean Tweets

As someone who has paid the minimum amount of attention to the “Avengers” movies possible for a professional entertainment writer, I would say that “Avengers: Infinity War” appears to be a $320 million trailer designed to make people sad and confused enough to pay to see the next “Avengers” movie.
So it is refreshing to see the cast of “Infinity War” (why would you watch a movie about a war that goes on into infinity?) reading mean tweets about themselves in the popular segment on “Jimmy Kimmel Live.” Highlights include Samuel L. Jackson reading a tweet that begins, “And while I’m comparing old men to reptiles…” and a very apt criticism of “Spiderman” actor Tom Holland.

Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.
But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
