AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR Directors Address [SPOILER]'s Surprising Absence And Doctor Strange's Role
Avengers: Infinity War boasts a massive cast but there were some notable omissions and now the Russo Brothers have addressed both that and some of the developments with Doctor Strange in the epic movie.
The Russo Brothers managed to cram a lot of characters into Avengers: Infinity War but there were some heroes who, for some reason, failed to make the cut. Perhaps the biggest omission was Valkyrie, a breakout character from Thor: Ragnarok who could have easily joined the God of Thunder on his mission to find the Stormbreaker hammer. So, why was she absent from this epic adventure?
Well, the filmmakers reportedly took place in a Q&A at an Iowa high school this week which saw Joe shed some light on the decisions which were made, including why there was no sign of Valkyrie.
Apparently, at least two other passengers managed to survive Thanos' attack on Thor's ship and one of them was Valkyrie. She escaped - presumably with some of the surviving Asgardians - in an escape pod but was Korg with her? Russo refused to reveal his fate one way or another but it would be a huge blunder on Marvel's part to now get rid of the character voiced by Ragnarok director Taika Waititi.
Russo was also asked about Doctor Strange's decision to willingly give Thanos the Time Stone and while he wouldn't go into detail, he did apparently emphasise the Sorcerer Supreme's final words: "This is the only way." That cryptic message will no doubt be further addressed when Avengers 4 rolls around because he may have known something we don't after visiting all those alternate timelines.
