These quarantine watch parties have allowed the creative teams behind Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame to share a lot of intriguing details about their early plans for the Marvel epics, and had these latest sequences made the cut, they would have altered the "time-heist" portion of the Infinity Saga finale significantly.

In one early draft of the script, Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) would have accompanied Thor (Chris Hemsworth) to Asgard to recover both the Reality and Space Stones. When they arrive in the Thor: The Dark World timeline, Heimdall (Idris Elba) would have been guarding the Bifrost, and Iron Man must don an invisible stealth suit to do battle with the all-seeing gatekeeper.

Another early idea would have seen Nebula (Karen Gillan) and War Machine (Don Cheadle) arrive on Morag while it was submerged underwater, where they were going to have to fight a giant sea-monster.

McFeely said that while he thought both sequences were cool, he felt they lacked emotion, and they were ultimately scrapped in favor of what we ended up seeing in the theatrical release of the film.

Did any of you re-watch Avengers: Endgame to mark the one year anniversary of its release? Drop us a comment in the usual place.

Both old news.
But anyways I think they made the right choices here. You can tell that during the story planning board sessions, they had a lot of fun 😏

I LOVE the idea of the sea monster! It would have really sold the knowledge that the planet becomes submerged (if regular movie goers missed that!).

Also, totally off topic.....The Skywalker Saga is on sale on iTunes for $80. Can’t tell if that’s a deal or not. Should I pull the trigger???!?

@SanFranLand - technically, it's not even $10 a movie as there's 9 of them. However only 3 are good, 3 aren't bad, and 3 suck ass

@Dredd97 - Haaaaa! Holy sh*t. Spit out my coffee at both how funny that comment is while equally feeling the hard truths of your words. I haven’t given a single dime to TLJ so, yes, this would be emotionally painful. BUT, there’s a score-only option for the TLJ, so you can trudge through it!

Dammmmmmitttttttt. They’re gonna get my money again, I just know it.
Clever mouse...

@Dredd97 - Yikes. Well that’s not a good trend to start. Where the hell would you imagine your words would end up?? Some poor lackey scouring tweets for positive reviews of any Star Wars/Disney product for future advertisement...? Damn, the irony of the Empire....

9 damn appearances and they couldn't get the Stealth Armor in one of those somehow? Well, at least we got most of the rest of them.

Actually glad they didn't, because obviously they would make Iron Man the winner.
