Avengers: Endgame brought back The Ancient One for an exposition heavy exchange with The Hulk, but some new concept art shared by Karla Ortiz reveals a very different take on their meeting.
"[One] of my favorite contributions was a variation on the scene where the Hulk met the Ancient One," the artist explains.
"She's so zen and so accepting of that which was about to pass! This was also painted in early 2016 and was one of -he few keyframes I did in those early times."
The Ancient One kicking back and enjoying a drink is obviously vastly different to her using her powers as the Sorcerer Supreme to fight off the Chitauri, but this sequence was shot and can be found as a deleted scene on Disney+ (for a full breakdown, all you have to do is click

This is a gorgeous piece of artwork, but do you think cutting the scene from the movie was the right call?
