Storyboard and concept artists usually create alternative versions of particular scenes in upcoming media projects to make it easier to brainstorm ideas and compare which ones work best. As a result, the final product could look different from the earlier concept art.
For example, the early concept art of Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness showed Balder and Iron Monger, among others, as part of the alternate universe's Illuminati. The film was also headed in a different direction under Scott Derrickson before Sam Raimi took over the reins.
Now, another MCU film, this time being Spider-Man: No Way Home, just revealed a different scenario involving Aunt May.
The now-seventh-highest-grossing film in history gave Tom Holland's Peter Parker his "Uncle Ben" moment when the Green Goblin killed Marisa Tomei's Aunt May. Her death was a pivotal moment that ultimately created the satisfying climax we saw of him sparing Norman Osborne with the help of the other Spider-Man, specifically, Tobey Maguire. But, as it turns out, early concept art had a different idea.
