Unused ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ Concept Art Had Thanos Sent On A ‘Doctor Strange’ Trip

Marvel Studios Head of Visual Development Ryan Meinerding reveals unused concept art from Avengers: Infinity War featuring Doctor Strange and Thanos.

An unused moment from Avengers: Infinity War would’ve found Doctor Strange attempting to send Thanos on a “Magical Mystery Tour” similar to the trip that the Ancient One gave him in 2016’s Doctor Strange. This moment would’ve been yet another example of exciting imagery that would’ve made Jack Kirby proud.

Even though this moment between Doctor Strange and Thanos was not included in Avengers: Infinity War, the film still included some exciting sequences between the two characters. For example, one of the most memorable moments in the film was when Doctor Strange made many duplicates of himself in an attempt to get the Infinity Gauntlet removed.

Unfortunately for Doctor Strange and a few others accompanying him during the battle with Thanos on Titan, they would ultimately lose and Doctor Strange would even surrender the Time Stone given his one vision out of millions that showcased why Iron Man’s life must be spared.

Do you think this unused moment in Avengers: Infinity War should’ve been included? How cool would it have been to see Thanos sent on a trip akin to what we’ve seen in Doctor Strange or even Professor Hulk’s in Avengers: Endgame? Sound off in the comments below, and be sure to continue following Heroic Hollywood for all the latest news on the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe including what’s next for Doctor Strange.

Doctor Strange and Thanos appeared together in Avengers: Infinity War. Here is the synopsis:

As the Avengers and their allies have continued to protect the world from threats too large for any one hero to handle, a new danger has emerged from the cosmic shadows: Thanos. A despot of intergalactic infamy, his goal is to collect all six Infinity Stones, artifacts of unimaginable power, and use them to inflict his twisted will on all of reality. Everything the Avengers have fought for has led up to this moment – the fate of Earth and existence itself has never been more uncertain.

Avengers: Infinity War is now available to own on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray, Blu-ray, DVD and Digital HD.
