As far as the history of superhero films is concerned, Avengers: Infinity War is, without a doubt, one of the best and most important movies. Many claim it was even better than Endgame, but it is very difficult, almost impossible, to view these two movies as separate entities, seeing how connected they are.
And while it’s been six years since the movie’s premiere, the fans are still talking about the movie, its influence, and how it influenced the further evolution of the MCU, which is why our reporting on that movie shouldn’t come as a surprise. It is still very much relevant!
In this report, we are going to discuss a deleted scene from the movie, whose raw version surfaced on social media. The scene shows Thanos using the Soul Stone against the heroes, and while the fans are in agreement that the scene is very interesting, they also think that it is better that it ends up being left out!
We know that the fight between the Avengers and Thanos in Infinity War was a truly epic one. There were some memorable moments and the fight was so well choreographed that the fans still like to revisit it. And while we’ve seen it all, there are some scenes that ended up being deleted, like the following one:

As you can see, the scene – and this is a raw, unedited version of it, as you can see – shows Thanos using the Soul Stone on the heroes to separate them from their bodies to make the fight easier for him.
Not all the heroes were affected, but those that were (mostly the Guardians) would have died if the separation lasted too long. In that aspect, Doctor Strange communicated with Spider-Man and told him that Mantis could save them all, which she ultimately did using her powers.
This is definitely an interesting take to the battle and while it adds more action and looks cool, the fans agree that it does not fit the overall tone of the fight, and here are some of their comments:
it’s a cool scene but I get why they cut it, it would take away a lot of the impact for when thanos snaps in regards to the guardians since pretty much all of them except for nebula get dusted so having them almost die just for them to actually die would be really deflating

Pretty cool but glad it was cut definitely didn’t fit the tone of the movie and that scene in particular

Yeh, I heard about this scene.
It’s dope, but I do see why they cut it.
It woulda made for a neat callback for No Way Home, tho.

Strange: Calm down Peter, I can put you back…
Lol 😆

This would’ve been a good piece to leave in for later reference when Mantis…..*(ORIGINAL AVENGERS COMIC BOOK STORYLINE SPOILER ALERT!)* ….is revealed as …..The Celestial Madonna that Kang was in search of! (Very Good story arc by Steve Englehart by the way!)

This would have been cool if Spider-Man wasn’t just standing and watching souls being brought back into corpses rather than helping out Iron Man in this solo fight.
