The Avengers assembled on the red carpet for the Los Angeles premiere of Captain America: Civil War.

Chris Evans – who plays the titular character – proved there are no hard feelings as he was joined by his onscreen rival Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man).

The pair shunned their superhero attire and opted for suits which they teamed with sunglasses as they posed for photos alongside Falcon actor Anthony Mackie.

The trio were also joined by Paul Rudd (Ant Man), Sebastian Stan (Winter Soldier), Frank Grillo (Crossbones) and Tom Holland who will make his debut as the web-slinging Spider-Man in the film.

Speaking on the red carpet Holland said he was nervous about taking on the role, but said everyone has given him good guidance.

“At first it was pretty terrifying but Marvel is a powerhouse so I was always in such good hands,” he said. “They helped me through every step of the way and gave me good guidance to give justice to the character.”

Stan Lee, chairman of Marvel comics, fooled around in front of the cameras after mingling with fans while Paul Rudd, Emily VanCamp and Marisa Tomei also stepped out for the event.

The third film in the franchise has been directed by the Russo brothers who also helmed The Winter Soldier.

The film is set for UK cinema release on April 29.
