* The designs for the Iron Man, Spider-Man, Thor, Black Panther and Black Widow action figures in the SpiritualSuccessor Toybox action-figure line seem heavily inspired by their respective appearances in ''Film/SpiderManHomecoming'' (for Iron Man and Spider-Man), ''Film/ThorRagnarok'' (for Thor), ''Film/BlackPanther'' (for Black Panther) and ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'' (for Black Widow). As former lead developer John Vignocchi confirmed that the designs of the action-figures were directly based on the Infinity figures, it's plausible that these designs for these four were based on figure designs influenced by these three films for ''4.0'' (or possibly ''5.0'') that never got made.

Among the ideas kicked around were black-and-white versions of the characters that appeared to have stepped out of a silent film.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYcmwGH8D8Q This video]] shows that [[Film/TronLegacy Clu]] may at one point have been planned to be a playable character, and it turns out that he was actually planned to be a playable character as far back as 2.0, where he would have been included alongside Sam Flynn and Quorra. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRJsKWmIFis An interview with Matthew Solie, the former producer at Disney Interactive]], post-cancellation reveals that Clu wound up being scrapped as a playable character after the fanbase [[InternetBackdraft raised a stink over Sam and Quorra being PC-exclusive in 2.0]], and any further work on the ''Tron'' characters was simply forgotten outside of giving Sam and Quorra physical figures for 3.0.

* Before ''VideoGame/{{Skylanders}}'' made custom 3D printed figures starting with ''Imaginators'', ''Disney Infinity'' toyed around with the idea themselves. Ideas kicked around were figures of existing characters in-game with different poses (somewhat like the scrapped premium figures for 3.0 would have been), or customized Townspeople. (i.e. like notable player [=MightyGitis=]) The idea fell through when it was realized that 3D printed figures would be far lower quality and fragile than the existing figures and thus it was decided that making them wouldn't be worth the time and effort. (''Skylanders'' would later find a solution by including their custom figures within a dome.)
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRJsKWmIFis According to Mathew Solie]], between the development of 1.0 and 2.0, ''Film/Cinderella2015'' was released and people involved with the film asked if Disney/{{Cinderella}} could receive a figure for ''Infinity''. Unfortunately, the developers could not find a move-set for Cinderella that made sense and had to shelf the idea. It's not known whether Cinderella's design would have been based on the 1950 animated film or the 2015 live-action remake.

* Figment from the ''Journey into Imagination'' ride at [[Ride/DisneyThemeParks Epcot]] was at one point considered, but was ultimately rejected because the developers felt that the appeal of his character was too niche.

Created a new page for What Could Have Been in Disney Infinity.

Added DiffLines:

''VideoGame/DisneyInfinity'' had so much potential that were a lot of WhatCouldHaveBeen here, especially after it was cancelled.
----
[[folder:During the franchise's lifetime]]
* Concept art shows Elsa was originally supposed to appear in her original short haired, 'evil' role. When ''Disney/{{Frozen}}'' was retooled they had to redo her.
* There were talks of trying to include ''Franchise/StarWars'' characters into ''Infinity 2.0'' after Disney bought Creator/LucasArts, but they ended up being SavedForTheSequel in ''3.0''.
* 1.0 would've had a Play Set for ''WesternAnimation/{{Frankenweenie}}'', with Victor being a playable character. It was scrapped due to the movie underperforming.
* Zurg was at one point planned to be a playable character and even shows up in one of the trailers, but was cut at the last minute.
* Unfinished models of [[WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb Ferb and Dr. Doofenshmirtz]] were found in the games files. The reason for Ferb not making it in as a playable character was because the developers only had the assets to make two figures for ''Phineas and Ferb'', and at Dan Povenmire's suggestion, Phineas and Perry were ultimately chosen.
* Figment from the ''Journey into Imagination'' ride at [[Ride/DisneyThemeParks Epcot]] was at one point considered, but was ultimately rejected because the developers felt that the appeal of his character was too niche.
* WordOfGod is WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck was "this close" to being playable in ''2.0''. His [[CoolBike Ratcatcher]] and Gas Gun are power discs, though. The developers attempted to make him playable again in ''3.0'', but on a fan-voted poll for who should be playable, he lost to Olaf.
* [[Disney/LiloAndStitch Stitch]] was going to get an alternate costume based on his Music/ElvisPresley outfit he wore in his original film, but the Presley estate demanded too much money for such a minor thing.
* Concept art of several [[Franchise/TheMuppets Muppet]] characters by Jim Valeri hints that the Muppets were considered for inclusion in 1.0 as playable characters, including [[http://disneyinfinity.wikia.com/wiki/File:Jimvalerisketchkermit.jpg Kermit]], [[http://disneyinfinity.wikia.com/wiki/File:Drawingmisspiggybyjimvaleri.jpg Miss Piggy]], [[http://disneyinfinity.wikia.com/wiki/File:Sketchfozziebear.jpg Fozzie]], [[http://disneyinfinity.wikia.com/wiki/File:Drawingvalerigonzoman.jpg Gonzo]], [[http://disneyinfinity.wikia.com/wiki/File:Animaljimvaleriprettycool.jpg Animal]], and even ''[[http://disneyinfinity.wikia.com/wiki/File:Beakerskectchawesomeness.jpg Beaker]]''.
* There's also concept art that shows that Benny the Cab was meant to be one of the ride-able vehicles in the game. The reason for him not making it in was because of there still being a lot of rights issues surrounding ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit''.

[[folder:After the franchise's cancellation]]
* With the news that the series was closing, the teased Disney Animation and Star Wars play sets (later revealed to be based on ''Film/RogueOne'' and ''Disney/{{Moana}}'', as mentioned below) will likely no longer happen, and the fate of Peter Pan's figure is in limbo.
** [[http://i66.tinypic.com/2924pqb.jpg Peter Pan at least got as far as having a final design for his figure,]] but when it comes to actually ''getting'' the figure, things are not looking good.
* A new Marvel figure had been heavily teased shortly after the release of Marvel Battlegrounds, but the series's cancellation meant that this character would likely never be released. [[https://twitter.com/ToysForGames/status/733179277932265473 This mystery Marvel character was later revealed to be none other than]] ComicBook/SpiderGwen.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFvRiuYjnkU&feature=youtu.be It had also been revealed]] that a figure for Film/DoctorStrange was in the works.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYcmwGH8D8Q This video]] shows that [[Film/TronLegacy Clu]] may at one point have been planned to be a playable character.
* [[Disney/{{Aladdin}} Jafar]] [[https://www.instagram.com/p/BFrskn5vLH4/ was apparently in the works as well]].
* Hera, one of the lead characters of ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels'', was conspicuously absent from the initial line-up of ''Rebels'' characters and was a highly requested character. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFGO1duP7os She was planned to be added eventually]]...at least until the game was cancelled.
* [[http://kotaku.com/sources-the-ambitious-now-cancelled-plans-for-disney-1776370484 An interview with Kotaku]] reveals that a playset based on ''Film/RogueOne'' and ''Disney/{{Moana}}'' would have been included in 3.0, and also revealed several plans for the now-cancelled 4.0 including a story mode that would have crossed Disney, Marvel and Star Wars together, as well as playsets for ''[[WesternAnimation/{{Cars}} Cars 3]]'', ''Star Wars VIII'', ''[[Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbean Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales]]'', ''Coco'', ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol2'', and ''Film/ThorRagnarok''. Additionally, there would have been special edition figures of some of the game's most popular characters; the figures would've been 12 inches tall, light up, and acted differently in-game.

There was also a Premium [[http://infinityinquirer.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Lightning-McQueen-Disney-Infinity-Premium.png Lightning McQueen]] figure in development.
** [[http://infinityinquirer.com/2016/07/15/exclusivepodcast-information-releases-planned-disney-infinity/ Figures based on the remake of]] ''Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast'' were in the works. The figures would have been based on said live-action remake rather than the 1992 animated movie. The same podcast where this was revealed also revealed that Jack Sparrow would have gotten a revamped figure to tie in with ''Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales'' along with two new POTC characters, as well as some new ''Cars'' figures to coincide with ''Cars 3''.
** Development for the ''Moana'' Play Set actually got as far as [[http://infinityinquirer.com/2016/06/29/moana-play-set-disney-infinity-looked-like-screenshots/ having actual in-game screen-shots and packaging]], and even ''[[http://infinityinquirer.com/2016/06/30/closer-look-moana-disney-infinity-figures/ physical]] [[http://infinityinquirer.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Moana-Disney-Infinity.png figures]]'', which consisted of Moana herself plus Maui. It seems as though they were very close to retail release at the time of the cancellation, leaving some to wonder why Disney couldn't or wouldn't give the developers time to finish if the ''Moana'' content was this close to completion.
** On the toy end of things, the article mentions that Disney considered partnering with Hasbro to help produce figures. In addition to alleviating the toy production troubles that ultimately killed the franchise, one has to wonder about the possibility of having [[Franchise/{{Transformers}} Optimus Prime]], [[Franchise/{{GIJoe}} Duke]], or even [[Franchise/MyLittlePony Pinkie Pie]] in the same game as Captain America, Luke Skywalker, and Mickey Mouse. Although apparently neither party had planned that far yet.
