Avengers and Deadpool assemble to fulfill a dying boy's plea

A tweet requesting the Avengers to greet a dying boy has gone viral and Captain America Chris Evans and Deadpool 2 star Ryan Reynolds have offered to help.

Avengers assemble this summer to fight Thanos in the summer release Avengers: Infinity War but before they head into the war, they have been called to fulfill a dying boy's wish. And Deadpool is reportedly joining them.

On March 25, Fox News journalist Shannon Bream took to Twitter hoping to reach out to the actors playing the Marvel superheroes. She tweeted informing that she was trying to help a young boy who is dying. With only a few days left, his wish is to greet one of the Avengers.

Need your help Twitterverse - trying to help a young boy who is dying. He probably has just days and all he want is a greeting from one of the Avengers. If you have a celeb connection, please let me know. Otherwise, could you help out with a RT? Thank you in advance!
