SPOILERS AHEAD:

[Show spoiler]The extra was involved in a sequence which saw a group of people running away from a group of robotic villains. The man was accidentally hit by a stuntman in an iron costume, but filming continued because no one noticed he was in pain.

"Cameras kept cranking until Robert [Downey Jr], who wasn't in the scene, suddenly noticed one extra twisting in pain and moaning 'Help, I've broken something'," revealed a witness. "Robert charged into a live scene yelling, Cut! Cut! The extra was writhing on the ground in agony after a rampaging evil robot smashed him flat."

Downey called for paramedics and comforted the man until they arrived. The injured extra was taken to hospital, where he was diagnosed with a broken hip.
