Meanwhile, according to Collider’s Jon Schnepp, Thanos creator Jim Stalin has reportedly revealed that Marvel is working on an extended edition of the movie, featuring 30 minutes of the Mad Titan’s backstory.
“Jim Starlin said, he found out that they’re actually going to put it into a special edition Avengers: Infinity War,” states Schnepp: “The way [Starlin] was saying it, they weren’t going to be seen as deleted scenes, they were actually going to be re-integrated into the film to make a special edition that had all those scenes re-incoporated.”
Now, fans may not want to get too excited over this, as in an earlier interview with The Playlist, screenwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely appeared to indicate that said Thanos scenes were actually cut from the script prior to production. Add to this the fact that Marvel is yet to issue an extended version of any of its movies, and this one sounds like it may be a long shot…
