We recently got a look at alternate designs for the Iron Spider armor, Captain America and The Winter Soldier, and now some more scans from the Marvel's Avengers: Infinity War - The Art of the Movie hardcover book have been shared online via AKASpidey on Twitter.

The images feature more unused character designs, this time for the likes of Thor, Thanos and The Red Skull.

Check out the pics below and let us know what you think. The Avengers: Infinity War art book is set to hit shelves on the November 6, and you can order your copy over at Amazon now.

Thor

As you can see, a couple of pretty radical new looks were considered for The God of Thunder at one point.

These designs switch back between long/short hair and bearded/clean shaven, and in a couple of the last ones Thor is sporting a futuristic looking outfit that's very similar to the concept art we saw for Avengers 4 recently.

Iron Man

Here we see the various layers of Tony Stark's regenerating nanotech armor.

There are a few sleeker variations on the suit, and it also looks like they considered going back to the circular chest plate.

Bucky

Some more early concept art for The Winter Soldier.

It looks like Bucky was originally going to be rocking much moire clean-cut appearance in Avengers: Infinity War before they ultimately decided to let him keep the beard and flowing locks. One of the outfits is also much more militaristic.

Thanos

It looks like they always had a pretty clear idea of how they wanted The Mad Titan to look, though there are a couple of different variations on his costume here.

The color scheme of his armor alternates between gold and solar, and some of the outfits are a bit more regal-looking than others.

Red Skull

Image result for avengers infinity war art book

The Red Skull was reintroduced in Infinity War looking more like one of the Nazgul from Lord of the Rings than the villain we first met in Captain America: TFA, but it looks like they might have been toying with the idea of an immediate reveal of "The Stonekeeper's" identity if some of these designs are any indication.

Captain America

Another batch of alternate looks for Steve Rogers here.

None of these designs are a million miles away from Cap's final costume for the film, though some definitely appear to be more Nomad-inspired than others. As we've seen already, they also thought about giving him a lick of a razor.

I usually dont really like seeing concept art in fear of it being actually superior than the movie versions but looking through these makes me quite happy with the versions that ended up on the big screen

RegularPoochie - 11/4/2018, 12:41 PM

@MeAreLegend - IMO that first is majestic and better than what we got. Looks like a true king.

I want shirtless Thanos

Did not care too much for Red Skull's appearance in Infinity War. It was a cool surprise move but it suggests he cannot return to torment Captain America in future films.

@Forthas

Took me out of the movie. I didn’t care for any of the scenes on Vormir.

CORTO MALTESE FILM ANNOUNCED

(NOT the fictional DC Country, the character named the same
Frank Miller named the Island Corto Maltese as an homage to Hugho Pratt)

Gotta see "man-bun" Thor in at least one scene at some point

HeavyMetal4Life - 11/4/2018, 9:02 AM

Some really fantastic artwork here!

L0RDbuckethead - 11/4/2018, 9:08 AM

Thor lookin' like Han Solo in those last few pics haha.

I liked the look he was given in Infinity War, but I can't wait to see his white (Quantum Realm?) suit in A4.

MyCoolYoung - 11/4/2018, 9:16 AM

I can't wait until we see the new looks of avengers 4. Hopefully we get some surprises similar to infinity war. In an alternate time line we get quicksilver guarding the soul stone and once he tell them about the price he says "you didn't see that coming?"

OmegaDaGrodd - 11/4/2018, 9:17 AM

Damn, we almost got M'Bucky T'Barnes

That they almost went with US Agent Cap, Iron Spider Spidey and Unworthy Thor shows why Marvel are the best when it comes to costumes. They KNOW what's available and keep it in the chamber if they don't feel the time is right

Also glad they didn't go with any of the obvious Red Skull looks. Of all the surprises in Infinity War, the slow reveal of his face is still the one that got the most shocked audience reaction. Probably a top 5 MCU cameo, based largely on the *how* of the reveal more than the substance, tho I can already tell A4 is going to try and top that a few times over

Forthas - 11/4/2018, 9:22 AM

@OmegaDaGrodd - The "reveal" will be Quick Slver!...I think...

Asturgis - 11/4/2018, 12:30 PM

@OmegaDaGrodd - Loks a little bit like Isu Assassin's Creed armor.
