The cast of Avengers: Infinity War were the latest stars to read out mean tweets about themselves on Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Stars including Scarlett Johansson, Benedict Cumberbatch and Chris Pratt, took part in the American chat show’s infamous segment, in which celebrities read out insulting comments.

The film, out now, has won so many plaudits from fans all over the world but, as these tweets prove, not everybody is pleased to see the star-studded cast back on screen.

One tweet, read by The Night Manager’s Tom Hiddleston, took aim at his looks – branding him “ugly” – while another user was less than impressed with Johansson’s acting ability.

Downcast, the 33-year-old read: “Scarlett Johansson has the emotional range of a f****** celery.”

In another, Sherlock lead Cumberbatch chuckled as he read out: “Benedict Cumberbatch always looks like he’s had a reaction to bad shrimp.”

Chris Evans, who plays Captain America, was particularly amused by one comment slating his performance in the movies, calling him a “dumb hunk of s***”.

Don Cheadle, Samuel L Jackson, Elizabeth Olsen, Anthony Mackie, Chadwick Boseman, Paul Rudd, Dave Bautista, Winston Duke, Sebastian Stan, Karen Gillan, Paul Bettany and Chris Pratt all also took part in the skit.

Avengers: Infinity War is in cinemas now.
