Doppelganger: Elizabeth Olsen, 28, was barely distinguishable from her equally stunning stunt double as she shot action scenes for the film Avengers: Infinity War on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh on Sunday evening

The Captain America: Civil War star appeared to be concentrating on perfecting the scenes with her lithe double act.

The star also displayed flawless skin under her pared-back make-up and wore her brunette tresses in loose waves over her shoulders.
