BC double is filming Avengers: Infinity War

Broadway actor Aaron Lazar is being filmed in Georgia for the new “Avengers: Infinity War,” but viewers of the movie won’t get to see his handsome face.

Lazar — whose credits include “Les Misérables” and “The Last Ship” — is the body double for Benedict Cumberbatch (Doctor Strange), who is busy playing Thomas Edison in “The Current War,” about the inventor’s competition with George Westinghouse to electrify America.

When he’s done with the Edison flick, Cumberbatch will reshoot scenes where the face of the 6-foot-1 Lazar, a track star in discus at Duke, is seen. A Disney source said, “They are not digitally superimposing Cumberbatch onto another actor’s performance.”
