Trivia: Before settling on saying "And I am Iron Man," the writers toyed with having Tony Stark simply telling Thanos to fuck off, even filming multiple variations of it.

Trivia: When Thanos arrives at Titan, he is greeted by Doctor Strange, who is sitting down and playing with some rubble in his hand.

This could mean that Doctor Strange was mimicking what Thanos would do in the one out of 14,000,605 possible futures that he saw in which the heroes would defeat Thanos.
