New concept art from Avengers: Infinity War reveals an alternate look at Thanos’ child Proxima Midnight.
One of the coolest parts of Avengers: Infinity War was seeing Thanos’ children, including the terrifying Proxima Midnight played by Carrie Coon. Ever since Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame made their debut on home video, some of the creatives behind the films have been showcasing some of the early designs and alternate looks that we might have seen on the big screen.
Ryan Meinerding, Marvel Studios’ Head of Visual Development, recently took to Instagram to share a brand new alternate look at Proxima Midnight. The alternate look for Proxima Midnight is slightly different than what we saw in Avengers: Infinity War as the art doesn’t really take into account the shape of the actress’ head. You can take a look at the alternate design of Proxima Midnight in Avengers: Infinity War below. Be sure to swipe right to get another side-look at Proxima Midnight.

As the description states, the look for Proxima Midnight went through several changes, something that is often the case for any CGI/makeup characters. When you take a look at the Proxima Midnight design we got in Avengers: Infinity War, you’ll notice that the red spots shown above didn’t appear in the final film. In the concept art, Proxima Midnight’s skin is faintly purple, likely to signal her relation to Thanos but in Avengers: Infinity War, it’s on the lighter blue side, mimicking the color of her hair. Also, in Infinity War, Proxima Midnight has a blue streak below her lips.
All in all, both designs have their pros and cons, but it just goes to show how the simplest of details have the largest of conversations and redesigns when you’re working on a film as big as Avengers: Infinity War. In the end, Proxima Midnight got the look that Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige and co. thought best represented her, which should be enough to keep fans pleased.

Here is the official synopsis for Avengers: Infinity War:
As the Avengers and their allies have continued to protect the world from threats too large for any one hero to handle, a new danger has emerged from the cosmic shadows: Thanos. A despot of intergalactic infamy, his goal is to collect all six Infinity Stones, artifacts of unimaginable power, and use them to inflict his twisted will on all of reality. Everything the Avengers have fought for has led up to this moment – the fate of Earth and existence itself has never been more uncertain.
Avengers: Infinity War is now available to own on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray, Blu-ray, DVD and Digital HD.
