With dragons, of course.

The home release of Avengers: Infinity War is upon us - with the movie available now for download in the U.S, and on Blu-ray from August 14 - which means a number of details about the movie are emerging, which includes the fire-breathing creatures almost making it into the film.

The dragons were one of many options considered for Thor's plotline, which sees him travel to Nidavellir to forge a new weapon. When thinking of ways that the God of Thunder would make it, dragons were on the table before they ultimately decided to go with Eitri, the King of the Dwarves.

This was to tie the quest back to the main storyline, by having all of Eitri's people killed by Thanos and him making a new Infinity Gauntlet, and it all works brilliantly in the movie, especially with Peter Dinklage's cameo.

But then, on the other hand, we were close to have Thor meeting and using a dragon to forge Stormbreaker, which could've been incredible.
