Easter is upon us and around this time of the year, it isn’t necessarily uncommon to see the likeness of Jesus Christ in everyday mediums.

In a viral image circulating online, the Son of God can be seen standing among Captain America and Iron Man as the trio wonders through a rainy landscape. The Spanish on the banner appears to be promoting a youth retreat for San Miguel’s youth.

For those getting excited and thinking that this was some guerilla marketing for Avengers: Infinity War, we hate to be the bearer of bad news, but we’re nearly certain Jesus won’t be making his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut just quite yet.

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.
