Avengers: 12 BEST Abandoned Endgame & Infinity War Ideas
7. Cap And Red Skull Working Together
During both Infinity War and Endgame, Marvel Studios treated us to some of the greatest character team ups imaginable. Some were bound to be popular, like Star Lord working with Iron Man and Spider-Man, but who knew how great it would be to see Rocket Raccoon interact with Bucky Barnes?
One reunion that almost happened in Endgame, but was ultimately abandoned, was that of Captain America and the Red Skull. Though we know Steve Rogers must have come face to skull with his old adversary when going back in time to put all the stones back, there was an early draft of the movie where they would have had an incredible on screen meeting.
Had the movie gone ahead with this plot thread, it would have been Cap that was sent to Vormir to retrieve the Soul Stone rather than Clint and Natasha, and it would have seen Rogers not only come to the realisation that Johann Schmidt never died, but he would have had to actually work together with his enemy to get the stone.
The idea was ultimately scrapped in favour of the everlasting exchange aspect which gave Natasha and Clint possibly their best moment on screen together, but seeing Cap and Red Skull together again would have been something special.
