Well, this would have been cool to see! While the "Art of" book for Avengers: Infinity War has already revealed that Thor originally had a very different journey to track down the Stormbreaker, a new piece of concept art from the movie confirms that the quest more than likely would have involved the God of Thunder and Rocket teaming up to battle the Midgard Serpent(s).

That would have been a clever use of the mythical monster, but it's easy enough to see why Marvel Studios and the Russo Brothers decided against including this epic fight scene.

At the end of the day, it probably would have just been too much for an already very busy movie and might have lessened the impact of seeing Earth's Mightiest Heroes going to war with Thanos (who may be formidable, but isn't quite up there with a number of giant serpents).

What do you guys think of this Avengers: Infinity War concept art? Share your thoughts below.

An early keyframe I created from Avengers Infinity War. Part of this was shown earlier last year showing the Thor with the Guardians teaming up! This whole image can be seen in the art of avengers Infinity War book and my website when I updated it coming soon! Still can’t believe I got to work on this epic movie. #craziness - - @marvelstudios @marvel #illustration #conceptart #design #digitalart #digitalpainting #thor #guardians #groot #rocketraccoon #avengersinfinitywar @rodneyimages

This costume is quite close to what ended up on screen in Avengers: Infinity War but it's also clear to see that this version was heavily inspired by the Ultimate version of the God of Thunder.

While Thor appears to have a weapon of some sort on his back, it appears as if he's swapped Stormbreaker for a pretty badass looking gun. That certainly would have got fans talking!

The version of Thor which ended up on screen, Marvel did a great job giving the hero a fresh new look but we think you'll be surprised by some of the crazy alternatives in the rest of this post!

Thor once again has long hair, a slightly different cape, and what is quite clearly the MCU's take on Jarbjorn here. However, I'd say Marvel made the right choice going for Stormbreaker.

These designs will no doubt remind you somewhat of the Unworthy Thor from the comic books and it's interesting to see both what he's done with his cape around his shoulders...and missing eye!

A completely different take on the God of Thunder, I like this design a lot even if it does feel like it would actually be better suited for a villainous version of Thor from an alternate universe!

Marvel Studios clearly toyed with a lot of different ideas for Thor's armour in Avengers: Infinity War and it would have been fun seeing his appearance evolve in such a drastic way.

These takes on Thor's costume are a little more regal and would have shown how he's grown into his role as Asgard's new king since we saw him on the deck of his ship at the end of Thor: Ragnarok.

As promised, we now have what can only be described as a "pirate" take on the hero which takes him down a less regal path and plays on the fact that he's been drifting through space with no home.

This is a complete one-eighty turn for Thor's costume and not something which has any basis in the comic books. That doesn't mean it wouldn't have worked but it would have been controversial.

This is a pretty badass look for Thor and one which might have worked if he'd spent a little more time with the Guardians of the Galaxy, something that could happen if Taika Waititi directs Vol. 3.

I'm not sure what Marvel was thinking taking the God of Thunder down this route but he looks totally unrecognisable and, well, not like Thor. As a result, I'm pretty sure this wouldn't have worked.

Mjolnir may have been lost but that doesn't mean Thor has to become a normal dude! In fact, these designs are very cool but he looks just like anyone else you'd find drifting in the cosmos.

Possibly jormmangdr the world serpent and the killer of thor. Maybe not though.

Kevwebsz - 11/26/2018, 2:36 AM

Should've kept it. Would've loved to see giant dwarf blacksmith Peter Dinklage fighting them.

JonC - 11/26/2018, 9:08 AM

@Kevwebsz - Did anyone notice its not teenage groot actually hands on with the serpent? How come in the headline he isn't getting any love in this "team up"?

Probably would've made the Dinkle-bit more interesting. Though it was probably best that they held their load until..

@DnA - Just wait until all heroes are standing side by side waiting for Thanos.

CaptainElrond - 11/26/2018, 2:44 AM

Dam actually saw that way back then, never thought of what they were fighting.

L0RDbuckethead - 11/26/2018, 2:45 AM

Just another excuse to post one of your lists, eh Josh?

Thor looked badass with eyepatch and some of those designs are way better than what we had,its a shame that they gave him an eye so quickly.With an eyepatch he would look more and more similiar to older Thor from comics,and with some of those custumes like Odinson.

Origame - 11/26/2018, 4:58 AM

@Omega - i still dont get the idea behind removing his eye at the end if they were just gonna replace it so quickly. Im guessing waititi did this without really talking to anyone working on infinity war until last minute so they had to include that scene of him getting a new eye so they didnt have to keep worrying about the eyepatch.
