Avengers: Infinity War - 20 Best Gags Ranked From Worst To Best

By Jack Pooley / April 30, 2018

5. Kevin Bacon, An Avenger?

Thor's literal approach to life is always good for more than a few chuckles, and when he explains to the Guardians that the Avengers are "Earth's mightiest heroes", Mantis asks, "Like Kevin Bacon?"

Thor gut-bustingly replies with, "He may be on the team, I don't know. I haven't been to Earth in a while." It's a gag that recalls the Kevin Bacon joke from the original Guardians of the Galaxy while also firmly making light of Thor's sarcasm-free dialoguing abilities.

Plus, the idea of Kevin freaking Bacon joining the Avengers is all kinds of awesome, no? Seriously, though, Guardians Vol. 3 needs some sort of Bacon cameo, no matter how little it makes sense.
