Avengers: Infinity War Writers Showcase Deleted Shot of Doctor Strange in Iron Man Armor

Avengers: Infinity War screenwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely have unveiled a behind-the-scenes glimpse of Benedict Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange clad in Tony Stark’s Iron Man armor. The scene was reportedly shot as an alternative version of the sequence where Iron Man and Spider-Man rescue Strange from the clutches of Thanos minion Ebony Maw. Markus and McFeely revealed the shot during a Watch Party viewing of Avengers: Infinity War for ComicBook.com, musing while there were “other versions” of the rescue, “[s]ome were just too awesome (and long) to keep.”
