Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark / Iron Man:
The leader and benefactor of the Avengers who is a self-described genius, billionaire, playboy, and philanthropist with electromechanical suits of armor of his own making.Co-director Joe Russo explained that Stark "senses this greater threat approaching, so he is doing everything in his power to keep the Earth safe."[12] Downey added that Stark would have smaller goals than in previous films, with the idea of him as a tinkerer continued from Iron Man 3.
Chris Hemsworth as Thor:
An Avenger and the king of Asgard based on the Norse mythological deity of the same name. Joe Russo stated that Thor's storyline picks up after the events of Thor: Ragnarok, which finds him in a "very profound... very interesting place" with "real emotional motivation".Thor now wields a mystical maul known as Stormbreaker, after the destruction of his hammer Mjolnir in Ragnarok.
Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner / Hulk:
An Avenger and a genius scientist who, because of exposure to gamma radiation, transforms into a monster when enraged or agitated. Banner spends the film trying to reintegrate with the Avengers, and also tries to "impress upon everybody how dangerous Thanos is."This continues a story arc for the character that was established in Thor: Ragnarok and concludes in the Infinity War sequel,with the difference between Hulk and Banner "starting to blur a little bit". Ruffalo described Hulk in Infinity War as having the mental capacity of a five-year-old.
Chris Evans as Steve Rogers / Captain America:
The fugitive superhero and leader of a faction of Avengers. A World War II veteran, he was enhanced to the peak of human physicality by an experimental serum and frozen in suspended animation before waking up in the modern world.[14] Joe Russo said the character will struggle with the conflict between his responsibility to himself and his responsibility to others. The character embodies the "spirit" of his comic alternate identity Nomad in the film, and receives new vibranium gauntlets from Shuri to replace his traditional shield.
Scarlett Johansson as Natasha Romanoff / Black Widow:
A highly trained spy, and former Avenger and agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.Johansson said that Romanoff's situation in the aftermath of the events of Captain America: Civil War has been "a dark time. I wouldn't say that my character has been particularly hopeful, but I think she's hardened even more than she probably was before."
Benedict Cumberbatch as Stephen Strange:
A former neurosurgeon who, after a car accident that led to a journey of healing, discovered the hidden world of magic and alternate dimensions and became a Master of the Mystic Arts.[26] Aaron Lazar served as Cumberbatch's stand-in until the latter completed filming on The Current War. At that point, Cumberbatch re-shot scenes where his face needed to be seen. Julian "JayFunk" Daniels once again assisted Cumberbatch with his finger-tutting movements.
Don Cheadle as James "Rhodey" Rhodes / War Machine:
A former officer in the U.S. Air Force who operates the War Machine armor and is an Avenger.Following his paralysis during the events of Civil War, Rhodes is given an apparatus by Stark to walk again, although he is reluctant to don his War Machine armor and rejoin the Avengers due to his injury. Cheadle believed that Rhodes is "negotiating this reunion and his rejoining this team." He also explained that Rhodes' relationship with Stark "deepened" from his accident, saying, "I think Tony feels somewhat responsible and culpable in a way. But again, he's always had my back in a way that only he could really have."
Paul Bettany as Vision:
An android and Avenger created using the artificial intelligence J.A.R.V.I.S. and the Mind Stone.Anthony Russo called Vision "a living MacGuffin. Obviously, that raises the stakes because Vision's life is in danger, and his life is in conflict with Thanos' goals, so something's got to give."
Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff / Scarlet Witch: A member of Rogers' faction of Avengers, who can harness magic and engage in hypnosis and telekinesis
Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson / Falcon:

Bradley Cooper as Rocket:
A member of the Guardians who is a genetically-engineered raccoon-based bounty hunter and mercenary, and is a master of weapons and battle tactics.[45] Sean Gunn once again served as the stand-in for Rocket during filming, with his acting and expressions serving as motion reference for the character.
Gwyneth Paltrow as Pepper Potts:
Stark's fiancée and the CEO of Stark Industries. Downey felt that "Pepper remains the heart of the [Iron Man] story", which was not a focal point in some of the preceding films with Stark. Downey continued that "we wanted to get back to that reality. Not just for them, but let's really see how that can add to the something-worth-fighting-for of it all."
Benicio del Toro as Taneleer Tivan / The Collector: One of the Elders of the Universe who is an obsessive keeper of the largest collection of interstellar fauna, relics, and species of all manner in the galaxy.
