When Marvel Scrapped The Initial Idea Of How Chris Hemsworth’s Thor Obtained Stormbreaker In Avengers: Infinity War: “They’d Have To Fight Their Way Out…”

Chris Hemsworth as Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, aka MCU, is one of the most fantastic casting ever. He has given some iconic moments, including his entry in Wakanda in Avengers: Infinity War with his new hammer Stormbreaker. Before that, the fans saw how it was created in Nidavellir. But Thor’s initial plan for getting Stormbreaker differed from what the fans saw in the theatres. Keep scrolling for the deets.

It was the first of the two-part movie in the Infinity Saga. For the uninitiated, Hemsworth’s character loses the hammer in his third stand-alone movie, Ragnarök. Hela, the Goddess of Death and Thor’s elder sister, destroyed Mjolnir. In the end-credit scene of the 2017 movie, Thanos destroys the ship and kills the surviving Asgardians. He kills Loki and gets the Space stone from the Tesseract. After the mad Titan ravages the vessel, Chris’s character is rescued by the Guardians of the Galaxy.

After regaining consciousness, Chris Hemsworth’s Thor decided to go to Nidavellir and forge a new weapon, Stormbreaker. Thor, Groot, and Rocket go there and forge the weapon with Eitri’s help. Now, Eleni Roussos’ 2019 book Avengers: Endgame – The Art of the Movie shared artworks that featured the trio – Thor, Groot, and Rocket fighting several serpents. Initially, they were supposed to go to the realm of Jormungand, and instead of forging Stormbreaker, they were supposed to find it, and that was Marvel’s Senior Visual Development Artist, Rodney Fuentebella.
