As Avengers: Infinity War finally began to see Thanos having already reached Xandar's Power Stone. This meant that the place seen in Guardians of the Galaxy, the home of the Nova Corps, had been destroyed by the Mad Titan as he was taking the first Infinite Stone to form his Infinite Gauntlet.

Not only is the writer Stephen McFeely that six Infinity Stones are already too numerous for history to handle by his preference, but the Xandar scene would have been redundant in history. The writers and directors have opened the scene on the commentary of Avengers: Infinity War available on its digital download.

"We should explain why we decided to push Xandar out of the screen," said co-director Joe Russo.

"We wrote a version of Thanos attacking Xandar and this had a similar purpose in the script to what Knowhere does now," said writer Christopher Markus. "It was a place where Thanos and Gamora met but the fact is that you know exactly what … If Thanos went to Xandar to get this stone, you know what happened."

Although no one confirms it, it seems that Collector's lair on Knowhere could have been destroyed offscreen in this version of the script, allowing the movie to begin by destroying Thor's ship and eventually directing it. Xandar for the encounter between Thanos and Gamora.

"It was an attempt not to be repetitive," said Joe Russo. "We decided to cut it off from the script and, as you have said, to start in the middle of history. "

In addition, the authors wanted to be certain that each Stone collection had a profound meaning to the public, already crowded with characters that might otherwise be overlooked. [19659006] "And make each Stone collection a moment moving, "added McFeely. "Sometimes it's because there's one who wears one or has one in the head and sometimes it's because of who meets her there, what you owe to get it, from whom you have to sacrifice … The scenes have to do more than one thing and each stone collection scene will be based on the plot, but we also wanted that. it is deeply based on character.
