Iron Man cruises the streets of Malibu, and instead of wearing the billionaire's battle armour, he's driving a cherry-red chariot - an Audi R8 Spyder. with the roof down and the wind ruffling Robert Downey Jr's salt-and-pepper hair, he doesn't look like a superhero so much as a Hollywood star on a mission. This isn't the first time his supersonic ride has stolen the show. Remember that scene in Iron Man 2? Was it pure product placement magic, or was Donnie himself lobbying for the slick Spyder? Insiders have revealed that Tony Stark's love of fast cars has been incorporated into RDJ's real life. Is this a mid-life crisis or a method actor's obsession with his role? The paparazzi can't tell, but we can guess. Is it a mysterious brunette at his side? Could this be the start of a new high-energy romance with a real-life Pepper Potts waiting in the wings?

Captain America ditches the shield for a car! Chris Evans was photographed driving his prized possession, a vintage Ferrari 250 GTO, along the California coastline. The gleaming silver masterpiece is worth more than some Hollywood mansions. This isn't your average celebrity and their sports car. Evans is a notorious car enthusiast and rumour has it that this particular GTO is his 'holy grail'. Did he have to sell half of his superhero salary to buy this car? The details are unclear, but one thing is clear: Evans isn't afraid to break the bank for his hobby. Is this a way to get rid of Captain America's squeaky clean image? Perhaps Evans is eager to add a little bad-boy mystique to his classic ride. Or maybe it's just a fun way to drive a piece of automotive history. Whatever the reason, Evans has been exuding a strong "car buff" vibe lately.

Black Widow abandons the fight and flees in a mum car ...... Scarlett Johansson was spotted running errands in a Mercedes-Benz GLE, a surprisingly unpretentious car. Could this be a sign that our Avengers will be ditching their high-profile lifestyles in favour of driving cars? Of course, the GLE isn't a Quinjet, but this spacious SUV does have an 'undercover mum' feel to it. Career woman Johnson keeps her trademark sunglasses on, but a hint of a smile underneath shows that with a comfortable ride and plenty of cargo space, her errands aren't so bad after all. Perhaps the Black Widow's magic is in everything she touches, even suburban SUVs. It may not be our usual headline-grabbing entrance, but it sparks a different kind of curiosity. Is Johnson taking a break from the limelight to focus on his family? Or maybe it's just a tactical switch-the GLE is the perfect disguise for a secret agent on the move (with groceries).

Chris Hemsworth traded in his hammer for a hot rod! Thor cruises around Byron Bay in a classic Porsche 356 Speedster. The sun glints off the curves of the vintage car, reflecting Hemsworth's big smile as he weaves along the coastal road. This is not your typical Hollywood muscle car; the Speedster is pure old-school cool. Hemsworth looks like a Californian surfer in his baggy T-shirt and surf shorts, and seems to perfectly embody the car's laid-back vibe. Does this set it apart from the action hero image? Perhaps Hemsworth is enjoying a more relaxed pace off-screen. One thing's for sure, the Speedster isn't built to chase down bad guys (but with those biceps, who needs a car?). Perhaps it's a reminder to Hemsworth that there was a simpler time before wielding the magic dragon gun. Or maybe it's a snapshot of a bygone era, a welcome nod to Asgard's high-tech weaponry.

Mark Ruffalo eschews the hustle and bustle in favour of the quiet! The Hulk himself was photographed cruising the streets of Los Angeles in a super sleek Tesla Model S. The eco-friendly sedan is a far cry from his raging on-screen persona, and seems to be a perfect fit for the environmentally conscious Ruffalo. Remember that time he testified before Congress about climate change? Talk about using star power for good. So, is Tesla a subtle way for Ruffalo to save the planet? Of course it is. But is there more to the story? Some have speculated that the spacious interior might be perfect for him to pick up and drop off his kids. Could this be a microcosm of Ruffalo's off-duty life, where the eco-warrior father trades the roar of the engine for quality family time? Judging by the Tesla's sleek design and Ruffalo's signature smile, this is definitely a no-frills star. In a world obsessed with flashy cars, Ruffalo proves that saving the planet can be stylish.

Tom Holland forgot about swinging around the city and got behind the wheel of his beloved Audi R8 instead! The Spider-Man star was photographed cruising the streets of London with the top down and his trademark tousled hair blowing in the wind. The sleek silver R8 purrs like a contented cat, complementing Holland's wide grin. This is not your average celebrity-car encounter. Sure, the R8 is a showstopper, but Holland seems to have a soft spot for his car. Remember that adorable video of him parallel parking the R8 with amazing skill - was the R8 Holland's way of shedding his innocent superhero image? Maybe high-performance cool is just what the friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man needs. Or maybe the sheer fun of driving a sophisticated machine - a welcome change from the heroic exploits of the spider's web.

Captain Marvel ditches starships in favour of ...... A station wagon? A vintage Toyota Land Cruiser has stunned fans by cruising around Los Angeles. The rugged, squarish off-roader seems a far cry from the sleek spaceships Larson drove on screen, but the actress looks at home behind the wheel of this vehicle. The Land Cruiser focuses on practicality and off-road style. With her messy bun and sunglasses, Larson exudes an unpretentiousness that complements the car's unassuming glamour. Is this a rebellion against the pressures of Hollywood's "glitz and glamour"? Perhaps Larson found freedom and adventure in this vintage car. This Land Cruiser isn't exactly suited for intergalactic travel. Maybe it's a reminder of simpler times before Larson wielded the Infinity Gauntlet. Or maybe it's a love of classic design, a change from her high-tech on-screen persona - who says saving the universe can't be done in style - even if that style is tinged with a bit of retro glamour?

Rocky ditches the mischief for a dash of British elegance! Tom Hiddleston drives a classic Jaguar E-Type through the English countryside. The sleek, iconic car is a deep emerald green colour that complements Hiddleston's sharp suits and exudes timeless sophistication.. This is no ordinary celebrity's flashy new car, the E-Type is a historic car and a true symbol of classic design.Could this be a way for Hiddleston to connect with another kind of character - an old-world sophisticate? There's no denying that Hiddleston's drive in the iconic sports car is a real thrill, and the E-Type's powerful engine purrs with a hint of mischief, a trait perfectly embodied by Hiddleston's Loki.

Sherlock Holmes ditches the deerstalker hat for a driving cap! A sleek Bentley Continental GT cruises the English moors. The powerful coupe is midnight blue and mirrors Cumberbatch's razor-sharp gaze, seemingly tailor-made for the enigmatic actor.The Bentley Continental GT exudes poised power and refined elegance, just like Cumberbatch himself. There is something truly thrilling about seeing Cumberbatch at the wheel of this luxury sports car, and the GT's engine roars with a hint of the hidden power that Cumberbatch so often imbues his characters with. Perhaps it's just the pleasure of a powerful car travelling through the scenic English countryside.

'Star-Lord' ditches spaceship in favour of ...... An eco-friendly chariot? A totally un-Hollywood Tesla Model 3, Rutter looks relaxed and appears very much at home. For Pratt, the choice of this car is a bit of an alternative. We're more used to seeing him flying spaceships or riding motorbikes in action films. But the Model 3 fits perfectly with Pratt's love of the outdoors and the environment. Is this a subtle way for Pratt to promote sustainability in his everyday life? Absolutely. the Model 3's spacious interior is perfect for hauling around a growing family (remember Pratt's adorable Instagram photos of his baby?). Perhaps this epitomises Pratt's dad model, where practicality and comfort take precedence over glitz and glamour. Judging by the Model 3's sleek design and Pratt's trademark goofy grin, this is certainly a celebrity who is physically (or should we say, physically) committed to environmental responsibility. In a world obsessed with oil tigers, Pratt proves that being environmentally conscious can be cool.
