There are a lot of great story arcs for Earth's Mightiest Heroes in Avengers: Infinity War but among the most interesting was the God of Thunder attempting to track down a weapon he could use to kill Thanos. Ultimately, the hero managed to get his hands on Stormbreaker and buried it in the Mad Titan's chest just moments before he snapped his fingers and wiped out half of all life in the universe. 

However, during the director's commentary for Avengers: Infinity War, Joe Russo revealed that there were a lot of alternate ideas thrown around regarding Thor's story arc and one of them included bringing back Bor, a character we first met in the opening few minutes of Thor: The Dark World
 
"We explored a lot of different ideas of where Thor could go for that weapon," he explained. "We even had versions of the story at one time where he was going to visit this sort of ghost of his dead grandfather - which was one version we were playing with that we didn't end up using. I am happy where we had settled." That would've been fun but maybe not as exciting as what we ended up with. 

Then again, it would have been another cool way to link Avengers: Infinity War with a movie from the Marvel Cinematic Universe's past! What do you guys think? As always, share your thoughts below.
