Avengers: Endgame, the heart-wrenching finale of the eleven-year superhero saga, continues to thrill fans five years after its premiere. Lately, deleted clips from the film are creating quite a buzz on the internet, reigniting the excitement.
The Deleted Iron Man-Star-Lord-Doctor Strange Confrontation
One such clip showcases a vigorous confrontation between Iron Man, portrayed by Robert Downey Jr., Star-Lord played by Chris Pratt, and Doctor Strange, a character brought to life by Benedict Cumberbatch. The scene, found on an Instagram fan page, stirred chuckles among fans, with many questioning why it was cut from the theatrical release.
In the scene, Iron Man is found questioning Doctor Strange about the outcome of a crucial future event. Annoyed Stark seizes Strange by his cape reiterating his query, demanding him to reveal “which one wins”. The humor intensifies when Pratt's character enters into their argument, calling Doctor Strange as ‘Doctor Weird' and asking him to open a portal to a van.
To this, Doctor Strange sarcastically explains why his ‘magic space holes' wouldn't work the way Star-Lord anticipated. What adds to the scene's comic relief is the puzzled expressions of Captain America and Black Panther, portrayed by Chris Evans and Chadwick Boseman respectively. Despite the evident hilarity, the scene, surprisingly, was left out from the final cut, leaving fans puzzled.
Deleted Scenes May Revive in Future MCU Projects
While it is unclear why this humorous scene was cut, Anthony and Joe Russo, the directors of the film, hint at the possibility of some deleted scenes appearing in future Marvel films. In a recent interview, they shared how they had numerous ideas for Avengers: Endgame that they couldn't include, but still love and hope to incorporate in the future MCU Installments.
Interestingly, Marvel's interconnected universe allows for the possibility of repurposing such deleted scenes since its storylines overlap and crisscross time and space. Therefore, some omitted shots from the past movies may indeed serve a purpose in the upcoming MCU films.
Why Filmmakers Often Stay Mum on Discarded Scenes
Most filmmakers usually keep tight-lipped about discarded scenes to avoid ruining potential future storylines. It's only when such clips leak online, do fans get to see what could have been included in the film, like the amusing clash between Iron Man, Star-Lord, and Doctor Strange.
Avengers: Endgame is now available to stream on Disney+. The film, even after five years of its release, continues to gather attention, with fans always eager for more news. As the MCU grows and evolves, we may yet see some of these deleted scenes woven into future films, creating even more intriguing narratives to excite fans. Until then, who's up for another Avengers: Endgame marathon?
