‘Avengers: Infinity War’ Concept Art Reveals Up-Close Look at Corvus Glaive’s Staff

Newly revealed concept art from Avengers: Infinity War offers a closer look at the staff of Corvus Glaive.

The artwork was revealed by concept artist Fausto De Martini on Instagram.

“I had the opportunity to design some of the props and weapons for Avengers: Infinity War,” De Martini wrote. “This one is Corvus Glaive staff! The character was designed by the super talented [Jerad S. Marantz]”

Take a look below:

Corvus Glaive was the leader of the Black Order, Thanos’ elite group of lieutenants referred to often as the Children of Thanos. Avengers: Infinity War co-director Joe Russo previously explained why he and co-director Anthony Russo included the Black Order in the film.

“We get inspired by a lot of different material when we’re working on the movie,” he said. “We pulled from both Infinity runs for this, and look, there are a scary bunch of characters who I happen to think, when I read the Infinity run, were super cool. And when I got the opportunity to make this movie, I said I have to do the Black Order. You know, we have so many characters and Thanos needs to be teased out. You can’t have the characters challenging him every step of the way. There has to be characters that they have to go through to get to him. The Black Order is the perfect cast of characters to do that with.”
