CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — Student pranksters at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have struck again, drawing inspiration from America's hottest movie.
MIT students over the weekend draped the university's signature Great Dome with a giant cloth version of Captain America's red, white and blue shield.
Their efforts drew a Twitter "Very cool!" from actor Chris Evans, the Massachusetts native who plays Captain America in "Avengers: Endgame."
The shield went up Saturday night and was taken down Monday morning.
MIT students have for generations centered similar pranks, which they call "hacks," on the dome.
A realistic police cruiser was placed on the dome in 1994. In 1999, it was decked out to look like R2D2, the robot from "Star Wars."
