After ‘Avengers – Endgame’ surpassed his film Avatar’s box office success, filmmaker James Cameron congratulated Marvel producer Kevin Feige in a unique way.

The official Twitter handle of `Avatar` shared a picture of Iron Man who seemed to be in an ‘Avatar’ disguise, and wrote, “Oel Ngati Kameie, I see you Marvel — Congratulations to Avengers Endgame on becoming the new box-office king.”

The Marvel super-hit film, which has earned $2.8 billion at the global box office, achieved the remarkable feat after being re-released in theatres with roughly six minutes of new footage in a bid to surpass `Avatar`.
