‘Avengers: Infinity War’ has a 45-minute deleted scene you never knew about.
While Avengers: Infinity War is a masterpiece, it always felt strange that Thanos began the movie in possession of one Infinity Stone. During an interview with Near Mint Condition, Thanos creator Jim Starlin reveals Marvel Studio actually shot a 45-minute scene showing how the villain destroys Xandar to get the Power Stone. Unfortunately, the scene was discarded before any VFX work was done since Marvel Studios didn't anticipate the movie’s overwhelming reception.
2018’s Avengers: Infinity War follows Thanos as he crosses the universe collecting the six Infinity Stones he needs to wipe out half the cosmos’ sentient life. It’s the ultimate crossover event that paid off a decade of movies that slowly revealed the location of each Stone. For instance, 2014’s Guardians of the Galaxy story revolves around the Power Stone. And by the movie's ending, the Power Stone is locked in a vault in Xandar, the capital of the Nova Empire.

The Mad Titan easily overpowers Thor and even the Hulk , which shouldn’t be surprising since, by then, Thanos holds the Power Stone. So, it’s clear that the Mad Titan destroyed Xandar somehow, but we never see it happens.
"But about a month before the movie came out, I got an email or something from Joe saying, 'the 45 minutes of Thanos that we had at the beginning of Infinity War, we had it cut.' There was a whole sequence of him getting the first gem and they had to cut that out. They shot it, but they never wanted to spend the money on the effects and they didn’t want the movie to be as long as the second one [Endgame] was. They didn’t realize it was going to be quite the hit it was.
The MCU Keeps Expanding While Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame ended the ambitious “Infinity Saga” storyline, the MCU keeps expanding. Currently, Marvel Studios oversees multiple TV and film projects as they turn Kang the Conqueror into the next overarching villain that’ll torment the MCU for the next few years. It’s not been smooth sailing, though, as the audience’s interest seems to have diminished after the “Infinity Saga.
