Avengers: Endgame
A deleted scene fromAvengers : Endgamesupports the theory that Thanos is in reality still alive . Marvel Studios has celebrated the launch of Disney+ with the exit of a numeral of key delete scene forAvengers : Endgame . They includedan alternative variation of Black Widow ’s destruction , and of trend the much - anticipatedSoul World panorama sport Tony Stark and his daughter , Morgan .
One of the more interesting deleted scenes is an alternating version of the Hulk ’s conversation with the Ancient One . The temporal mechanics are fairly standardised , with the Ancient One explain that the removal of an Infinity Stone creates a new timeline . In this adaptation , though , the Ancient One has far more modern knowledge of the future ; contradict the events ofDoctor Strange , she ’s been able to utilise theTime Stoneto see beyond the second of her own death . It leads to a enthralling discussion in which the Ancient One drops a thunderclap : she knows how the centering will mold .

accord to the Ancient One , the snap did n’t in reality kill anybody at all . She suggests that there ’s an significant operational difference between killing someone , and doing what Thanos did , which she describe as willing people out of existence . Death is net , the snap is not ; resurrection is impossible even with the force of the Infinity Stones , but the snap fastener can be undo . It ’s a fascinating comment , neatly explaining why tear dupe could be mend but Black Widow could n’t be brought back . funnily enough , it ’s the first time Marvel has ever explain how the duck soup influence at all . And it carries profound conditional relation for the MCU , because it strongly supports a theory thatThanos is still live .
Avengers : Infinity WarandAvengers : Endgameboth ended with a gingersnap . In one , Thanos snapped his fingers and erased half the life in the universe ; in the other , Tony Stark snapped his fingers and erased Thanos and his United States Army . If the first one did n’t really kill , then it stands to grounds that neither did the other . A upright analogy is that the snaps essentially function like the transporter inStar Trek , convert affair from one United States Department of State to another , leave a record in some form of " buffer " plane of macrocosm . If Thanos ' victim were left in a kind of " cosmic cold memory board , " thus capable to be restored , then that is now the Mad Titan ’s fate as well .
If this is indeed the case , then there ’s no reason to assumeThanos is gone for good from the MCU . It ’s quite possible that , somewhere in the deepness of distance , some alien beingness managed to work out what had happened - and even repeal it . Doctor Strange would n’t be aware of this , having focused on events on Earth and Titan when he explored 14 million future , so he would n’t have known there were other ways of accessing this buffer plane of existence . Marvel have restfully given themselves a get - out clause should they ever wish to land Thanos back .
