Thanos Punches Through Captain America's Shield in Early Concept Art for AVENGERS: ENDGAME

We’ve seen Thanos and Captain America face off a couple of time in the final two Avengers movies, but it was in Avengers: Endgame where their best fight took place. It was a pretty brutal battle battle that left Cap’s shield broken.

This fight between the hero and villain could have been a lot crazier and in some early concept art for the film, Thanos would have shattered Cap’s shield!

Ryan Meinerding, Marvel Studios’ Head of Visual Development, shared a few pieces of art on social media showing us what could have been as Thanos destroys Captain America’s shield with his bare hands! I especially love the shot where he punches right through it with the shield with the star landing on Cap’s chest.

It’s kinda fun seeing what could have been! Enjoy the art.
