Iron Man & Doctor Strange Almost Switched Suits in ‘Infinity War’

Marvel Cinematic Universe gave fans an epic film Infinity War followed by the most watched and loved movie Avengers: Endgame. It’s been almost a full year since the release of Avengers: Endgame, but fans are just not ready to give up on it. They are still poring over the many references and Easter eggs present in Marvel’s sprawling Infinity Saga.

Recently Emergency Awesome channel on YouTube shared a video that has created a buzz on the internet. It reveals how two of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s most famous characters nearly ended up switching their iconic superhero costumes in the epic crossover movie Avengers: Infinity War.

We are talking about Iron Man and Doctor Strange. Infinity War brought together all characters who hadn’t met each other before finally coming face-to-face, which included Doctor Strange and Iron Man. Both of them lived in New York but had never met until now.

A designer posted images on Instagram that show a different version of an epic scene from Avengers: Infinity War. This one is from when Iron Man and Spider-Man get on Ebony Maw’s ship to save Doctor Strange.

Strange was being tortured in an attempt to procure the Time Stone. Stark was to use his nano-technology to build an Iron Man suit around Strange to protect him. While he would, in turn, wear the Cloak of Levitation. But the makers had later scrapped the idea.
