10 MCU Deleted Scenes That Change Everything
Summary
- A deleted scene from Captain Marvel could have subtly changed the film's third-act reveal, showing Yon-Rogg's meeting with the Supreme Intelligence and revealing his arrogant nature early on.
- A deleted scene from Spider-Man: No Way Home featuring Daredevil defending Peter Parker and hinting at his appearance in Armor Wars could have had big ramifications for the character's future.
- A deleted scene in Avengers: Endgame almost gave Tony Stark a different ending, transporting him to the Soul World for a final exchange with his daughter. This would have changed his character's ending considerably.
The collected movies and TV shows of the Marvel Cinematic Universe have seen many scenes cut over the franchise's history, but some of these deleted scenes would have changed the MCU considerably. Since the very beginning of the franchise, the movies of the MCU have established it as one of the biggest and most ambitious interconnected narratives of all time. Adapting the many stories of the comics into one large shared movie universe has often required the use of considerable foresight, with even the most innocent interactions between characters capable of teasing the narrative direction of future movies.
In the process of creating such a sprawling narrative, many scenes have been deleted from their movies over the history of the MCU. However, some of these scenes contained teases for scrapped futures, and others contextualized the franchise's story in a way that would have drastically altered the overall narrative. Naturally, these deleted scenes are not considered canon, but had they actually made it into their finished films, they had the potential to have massive ramifications for the franchise as a whole. Here are 10 deleted scenes in the MCU that would have changed everything.
