Had an idea to edit the existing MCU to make it more cohesive from the start and what I would change. Let me know what y'all think!

This is an interesting fact that probably all members of this community know, but if anyone doesn't know, let me explain it here:

A while back, Cantina Creative, the VFX studio for Avengers: Endgame, shared images related to the film, and two of those images stand out for something interesting: The two images I included in this post are concept art for the scene where the Avengers are planning the Time Heist and choosing the locations where they can find the Infinity Stones.

Well, in those images there are two that show information about the Space Gem / The Tesseract, in which we can see a small group of people who had contact with it. In the images we can see familiar faces such as Johann Schmidt / Red Skull and Arnim Zola.

But there is one person who stands out from the rest: Werner Reinhardt / Daniel Whitehall. This character appeared in the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. series (having more relevance in Season 2). What does this mean? It means that he was considered for the film.

This was also confirmed by a tweet from Reed Diamond, the actor who played Whitehall in the series, who learned about these concept images because he was quoted in the original tweet made by the user BEJT.

In that tweet, Mr. Diamond commented that he now understood why Marvel Studios had inquired about his availability at that time. And we fans assume it was because they had planned to include Whitehall in the film somehow, but ultimately nothing came of it, possibly due to the actor's scheduling conflicts.

If Daniel Whitehall's appearance in Avengers: Endgame had actually happened, it's almost certain the canon debate wouldn't exist today, but oh well, things turned out this way...

Even so, I can't help but wonder: What do you think Whitehall would have done in Avengers: Endgame? Was it just a cameo, or would he have interacted with any of the Avengers? Would there have been any mention of events from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.?

These are questions that will probably remain unanswered...
