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

3. Nebula And The Infinity Gauntlet

Nebula played a crucial role in Avengers: Endgame, but fans hoping to see the Guardian of the Galaxy be the one to take down Thanos were left disappointed. In the Infinity Gauntlet comic book series, she unleashed the power of that titular weapon to restore her original appearance and get revenge on the Mad Titan; sadly, that just didn't make it into the movie.

However, this early piece of concept art reveals that the Russo Brothers did briefly consider having Nebula finally get her hands on the Gauntlet to wield the power of the Infinity Stones.

Given how they were portrayed in the MCU, using them would have likely resulted in Nebula's death, so it makes sense that this was a moment ultimately scrapped from the movie. However, the restoration of her appearance would have been a logical next step for the character, and something fans can likely expect to see explored in some way in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.

Given the nature of the Marvel Multiverse, the Stone could return, or Nebula could get her hands on an equally powerful weapon that helps her undo what Thanos inflicted on her.
