    on Earth which hosts several Infinity Stones right now - What does this mean? How is it relevant? I'm also tempted to close this as per our Future Works Policy. We'll likely find out why Doctor Strange can't magic away Thanos in the film.

Thanos is one of the most powerful being in the Marvel Universe. (I will not be listing his abilities as it is a huge list). But one of his well-known abilities is his Mystical knowledge. This has been mentioned in several instances including : Thanos # 7 (summary here) and Deadpool # 64 (summary here). For instance, Thanos cursed Deadpool with an immortality curse so that he could never die which even Death cannot undo.



For someone being so well-versed with the Mystical arts, I'd say it would be very difficult for Dr. Strange to simply float him away or make him fall forever.



PS: However, unless we fully get to know Thanos' powers in the MCU, we cannot say why Strange can't do what he did to Loki (or as a matter of fact the Time-reversal thingy he did to Dormammu either).

    The time reversal strategy was only valid against Dormammu because it exists outside of time and therefore could experience being trapped repeating the same actions again and again. If Thanos does not exist beyond time then he would never grow bored of the trap because for him it would always be the first time there.
