This is not the first time the Burj Khalifa tower, the world’s tallest structure since 2009, has been associated with films. The building was featured prominently in Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol as well as other movies over the years.
An image of the building was also posted to the Things to do in Dubai Instagram account, and many impressed fans commented on the picture.
“Beautiful shot!,” @worldbestplacestovisit wrote.
This also isn’t the first time the building has honored Marvel. Last year, it lit up with some heroes before the release of Avengers: Infinity War.
