2. Stephen Strange In The Iron Man Suit

Over the years, we've seen many besides Tony Stark wear one version of the Iron Man suit or another. Obadiah Stane, Rhodey, Ivan Vanko, Pepper, and Bruce Banner have all worn the armour in the past, but we almost had another to add to that list in Infinity War. Doctor Strange.

When aboard the spaceship with Ebony Maw, Strange needed saving thanks to the dozens of micro needles just millimeters from his skin. This came in the form of Iron Man and Spider-Man, in particular the latter's knowledge of 80's sci fi movies, though it almost went a different way.

Though saving Strange was a professional courtesy to Stark, concept art from the movie shows the Doctor clad in an Iron Man suit, with the Eye of Agamotto built in instead of the arc reactor. As incredible as such an image would be, it got even better.

With Strange in his suit, Tony Stark looked to one of the unsung heroes of Infinity War for help, the Cloak of Levitation. Now that we know this is what we almost had, it's hard to watch the real scene again without wishing this had made the final cut.
