Avengers: Infinity Waris finally in theaters and fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe have noticed that a lot of footage shown in various trailers, teasers, and TV spots didn’t actually make it into the final cut of this epic movie. This is a common practice in big Hollywood movies, especially since the editing process is still taking place when the promotional material is released to the public. And in some cases, there’s footage that is exclusive to the trailer or TV spot, which was never intended to be in the movie in the first place. There are major SPOILERS forInfinity Warbelow, so read ahead at your own risk.
Thor in Milano’s Pod
Avengers: Infinity War Teaser Trailer (0:22)
One of the most glaring omissions fromInfinity Waroriginates from the very first teaser trailer that was released. The scene takes place at the end of the teaser and features a bunch of heroes charging through Wakanda. Not only is the scene not in the movie, but it also includes Bruce Banner as the Hulk, which is strange because Banner and Hulk are having issues in the movie, only showing the Hulk at the very beginning of this sequel. In the case of the voiceovers from Tony Stark, Nick Fury, Black Widow, Thor, and Vision that were featured in the first teaser trailer, the voiceovers were exclusive to the trailer as was the image of Thor looking out in the Milano’s pod.
The Hulkbuster and Bruce Banner
Avengers: Infinity War Teaser Trailer (0:26)
The teaser trailer forInfinity Waralso featured some footage of Bruce Banner tinkering with the Hulkbuster suit that did not end up making it into the movie. Instead, we see the Hulkbuster suit for the first time when battle in Wakanda begins. As for the scene in the teaser trailer where Tony Stark uses his nanotechnology in New York, facing the Black Order for the first time, it appears that another camera angle was chosen instead of what’s shown in the trailer.
Loki and the Tesseract
Avengers: Infinity War Teaser Trailer (1:07)
Also from the teaser trailer is the footage of Loki handing over the Tesseract to Thanos. In the teaser trailer, it appears that Loki took the object from his back pocket, instead of having it appear in his hand in the final cut.
T’Challa and Captain America’s Shield
Avengers: Infinity War Teaser Trailer (1:24)
In another case of using a different angle for the final cut ofInfinity War, the teaser trailer features T’Challa talking about getting Captain America’s shield from a different angle, though the dialogue is identical.
Hulkbuster landing in Wakanda
Avengers: Infinity War Teaser Trailer (1:30)
Another scene from the teaser trailer that wasn’t in the final cut included a pretty epic moment where the Hulkbuster lands on Wakanda. Something similar was used in the final cut, but the footage from the teaser looks to be a bit more grand of an entrance.
Shots of the Infinity Gauntlet we never saw
Avengers: Infinity War Teaser Trailer (1:49)
Then there’s the case of two shots of the Infinity Gauntlet from the teaser trailer and the first officialInfinity Wartrailer. The shot from the teaser trailer of Thanos on Titan with only two stones isn’t in the movie at all.
Every one of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes running toward the fight
Avengers: Infinity War Teaser Trailer (2:00)
This is probably one of the biggest scenes cut from the movie we were all waiting for…every single Avenger running toward the fight with the Mad Titan Thanos to save the world. Where was this one? Are they saving this one forAvengers 4?
Thor meets the Guardians of the Galaxy
Avengers: Infinity War Teaser Trailer (2:19)
The teaser trailer forInfinity Waralso includes a very different scene whenThor meets the Guardians of the Galaxyfor the first time. In the movie, after Thor asks who they are, the Guardians are featured in different poses with Star-Lord brandishing his blasters, while the scene in the teaser is a lot less menacing.
Bruce Banner, Black Widow, and War Machine
Avengers: Infinity War Trailer (0:12)
In the first trailer forInfinity War, near the beginning, Bruce Banner, Black Widow, and War Machine are seen looking up at the barrier in Wakanda. This particular scene isn’t in the final cut at all.
Shake on it, Wakanda style
Avengers: Infinity War Trailer (0:48)
There’s also a shot of Steve Rogers going in to shake T’Challa’s hand upon their arrival to Wakanda. The final cut used a scene where Bruce Banner bows to the king instead.
