10 Unused Marvel Studios Concepts Which Need To Be Used In Future

Thor's subplot in Avengers: Infinity War was a little weird, and Peter Dinklage's disappointing turn as Eitri really didn't help matters. However, Stormbreaker's origin could have been way more exciting. In an earlier version of the film, the God of Thunder was going to be joined by Rocket and Groot in an epic battle against the Midgard Serpent's children.

According to Marvel Studios Senior Visual Development Artist Rodney Fuentebella, the axe/hammer would have been buried in the head of that fallen monster, and after the God of Thunder retrieved it, he and the Guardians would have had to battle the World Serpent's children in what sounds like a pretty barmy (and must-see) action sequence.

Ultimately, the Russo Brothers went down another route, but the good thing about that is the fact it's left the door open to Taika Waititi making use of these creatures in Thor: Love and Thunder.

With Natalie Portman's Jane Foster set to wield Mjolnir as the new God of Thunder, the Midgard Serpent would make for a great first test for the inexperienced hero. If Marvel Studios wants to do something bigger with them, though, they could very easily be the big bads of a future Thor movie.
