Warning! Potential spoilers for Avengers: Infinity War lie below!

Earlier this year, work finally began on a project which Marvel Studios has worked towards for over a decade. Productions started on Avengers: Infinity War a couple months ago, bringing together talent like Robert Downey Jr., Chris Pratt, and Tom Holland. After a brief start in Atlanta, the film has since moved production to Scotland for a few foreign shoots. And, now, one set photo has clued fans into a major tie-in Avengers: Infinity War will share with Avengers: Age of Ultron.

Thanks to Twitter user @MCU_Tweets, fans have learned a familiar prop has made its way to the set of Avengers: Infinity War. The tweet contains an image which shows that a statue seen in Thor's vision from Age of Ultron has returned. The prop in question is of an Asgardian warrior kneeling with his sword held in front of him. There is no direct word on what the statue may signal, but fans have speculated the figure is meant to signal a warrior in mourning. And, clearly, such a sign would not be good for the heroes of the Marvel Cinematic Universe - not when Thanos is in the picture.

Right now, it seems like Avengers: Infinity War is gearing up to address Thor's nightmarish vision and even see it come to fruition. The prop's sighting comes shortly after reports broke about Chris Hemsworth's arrival on set. Another Thor star has also appeared to join in on the film as Tessa Thompson (Valkyrie) was spotting in Edinburgh, Scotland last week. Hopefully, it isn't because the stars saw their respective characters sent to Hel...

So, what do you think? Does the prop's place in Avengers: Infinity War spark fear or hope in you? Hit us up on Twitter @ComicBook to let us know what you think!

Avengers: Infinity War is described by Marvel Studios as the culmination of everything in the Marvel Cinematic Universe since Iron Man in 2008. The movie is filming now under directors Anthony and Joe Russo, from a screenplay by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely.

The expansive confirmed cast includes Robert Downey, Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Jeremy Renner, Scarlett Johansson, Tom Holland, Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Bethany, Sebastian Stan, Benedict Cumberbatch, Benedict Wong, Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Karen Gillan, Vin Diesel, Dave Bautista, Bradley Cooper, Pom Klementieff, and Josh Brolin as the villain Thanos. Avengers: Infinity War and its as-yet-untitled sequel are filming back-to-back for a May 4, 2018 and May 3, 2019 release, respectively.
