In a staggering moment in Avengers: Infinity War, Doctor Strange does some visualization work of his own – finding 14,000,506 million losing outcomes but only one in which the heroes can win.

"If I tell you what happens, it won't happen" – Stephen Strange to Tony Stark, Avengers: Endgame (2019)

This Endgame previs gives a sense of look, feel and action for the moment when the team hopes to beat the odds by traveling back through the Quantum Tunnel.

As the conflict with Thanos unfolds in Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, Strange’s astral abilities influence various character trajectories and courses of events.

"Allow me to help you
” Stephen Strange to Thor, Doctor Strange (2016) post-credits stinger.

Showing Strange’s signature powers and use of magical artifacts like the Eye of Agamotto and the Cloak of Levitation was a key part of the visualization team’s collaborative work on scenes in the Infinity Saga films. (Previs above from Doctor Strange 2016.)
