Marvel News: Tweets, Hashtags Can Land A Fan A Cameo In 'Avengers: Infinity War' Movies
There's good news for all Marvel fans who are fond of using Twitter as Marvel has announced that using any of the specified hashtag phrases in tweets could give fans a rare chance of appearing in the upcoming "Avengers: Infinity" movies.
ComicBook has reported that in order for individuals to qualify in their bid to earn a cameo role in the movies, they must have a Twitter account and they need to use the Avengers Twitter emoji (hashflags) released by the company and form their own "Civil War team." The tweets using the emojis should also be accompanied by the hashtags "#TeamCapSweepstakes" or "#TeamIronManSweepstakes," depending on their preference between the two Avengers characters. More details can be found via Marvel.
In order to ensure the contest will be fair and square to interested applicants, Marvel has limited the entries to one person/Twitter account only. This eliminates the possibility for people with multiple Twitter accounts to have the upper hand. Those who plan to enter the contest using multiple accounts may find themselves disqualified.
