10 MORE Characters That Were Cut From MCU Movies

6. Supergiant - Avengers: Infinity War

Supergiant Marvel

The Character

A member of Thanos' Black Order, a telepathic and mentally unstable parasite, who is able to mind control just about anyone and grow smarter by feeding on their own intellect.

Supergiant famously used her powers to attack the X-Men while searching for Thanos' son Thane, and between herself and Corvus Glaive, they were able to easily beat the mutants.

What Happened?

Concept art for Avengers: Infinity War confirms that the Black Order originally featured Supergiant as an extra fifth member of the group, but for reasons unknown, she sadly never made the cut.

Perhaps the most obvious reason is that five team members was simply too much for the role the Black Order needed to serve in the film, and splitting four members into groups of two just feels neater.

Some fans have suggested it may have been a case of Supergiant bearing too much of a resemblance to Nebula (Karen Gillan), which with mainstream interests in mind, actually makes a lot of sense.
