Everything Cut From Avengers Endgame

[Music] even with just over three hours of runtime Marvel Studios still couldn't pack everything they wanted into Avengers and game it's almost like they were trying to wrap up over a decade of filmmaking storytelling world building and character development or something although we got to see some movie moments we'd waited years for there was a surprising amount which got left on the cutting room floor from a cameo from Catherine Lankford two old enemies being reunited we'll talk about some of the craziest things you won't believe didn't make it into endgame [Music] [Music] Captain America let's be honest for all the predictions we made in the lead-up to end the game there was one moment that truly mends to stun even the fine folks at sea BR and it happened right in the beginning of the movie yeah we're talking about Thor taking Thanos his head off and not because we doubted the god of thunder or is incredible weapon nope we're talking about the fact that this happened in a Disney movie for this kind of thing just doesn't happen so it's even more surprising that there was almost another moment in which a character found themselves losing their head quite literally when Thanos arrived at the Avengers compound he was going to bring with him the head of Captain America yikes and to make this even crazier this idea lasted through many script revisions until the Russo brothers finally decided that it wouldn't work instead Steve Rogers got a happy ending and instead of concentrating on his head we all got to concentrate on another part of our beloved Captain America Red Skull even though we've seen endgame a frankly embarrassing amount of times at this point we still have some unanswered questions like what happened when Steve Rogers went back to form here to drop off the soul stone with the Red Skull we still can't believe we missed out on that awkward encounter but originally the plan was to have Steve Rogers encounter his old nemesis much sooner he was going to travel to vermeer instead of Clint Barton and Natasha Romanov and would have to work together with the Red Skull in order to obtain the stone but if that sounds crazy unrealistic to you then you're not alone the idea was scrapped pretty early on in the writing process and instead we never even got to see the interaction between Steve and the Red Skull but if it makes you feel any better Joe Russo claims that the red skulls news spooky situation has been so transformative that it's unlikely he and cap had a very interesting confrontation anyway it definitely doesn't make us feel any better because our thirst for seeing Captain America Punch bad guys simply cannot be satiated new Asgard science versus magic in the MCU has always been kind of tricky before the debut of Doctor Strange in the mystic arts the MCU definitely tried to err on the side of science having an explanation for everything you that did involve a lot of hand waving and irresponsible use of the word quantum end game almost had a plotline involving the merging of science and supernatural by having Thor and Iron Man team-up when the heroes divide into their time travel teams one of the initial pairings was going to be the God of Thunder in Tony Stark the two of them would travel back to Asgard where Tony would undoubtedly have some interesting reactions to what he sees if you think about it this strategy does make sense because at the time the reality stone and the space stone were tucked away in Odin's fault seriously wouldn't that have been easier than trying to get the space stone away from the Battle of New York after all Rockets seem to have an easy enough time liberating the reality stone all by himself when Thor went off course in the movie PLAs Tony was going to sneak around Asgard in a stealth suit and get into a fight with Heimdall apparently Tony's Tech is no match for Heimdall's omni sense we'll add that to the list of exciting MCU fights that we never got to see all grown up if you ignored tony's prophetic pregnancy dream from infinity war and Gwyneth Paltrow totally spoiling her existence during an interview then maybe you were surprised by the appearance of Morgan stark and endgame but we were more surprised by someone we didn't see and that's 13 reasons why actress Catherine Langford and the lead-up to the movies release her name was listed on the movies IMDB page in an undisclosed role and Langford herself seemed to be fueling this rumor with vague Avengers social media posts but many fans left the theater wondering how they had missed Lankford's appearance if you were one of those fans rest assured you're not losing it because Langford ended up not making it into the theatrical release she was originally going to play a grownup version of Morgan Stark who it appeared to Tony in a vision of the future this one would occur at a metaphysical weigh station just after defeating fan OHS and just before whatever happens to people in the MCU when they perish but in the end the scene was deemed too complex of an idea and ended up getting scrapped entirely Living Tribunal screenwriters Christopher Markus Stephen McFeely claim Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige brought them some comic book panels to serve as inspiration for the movie some of them involved a character comic book fans know as The Living Tribunal who is tasked with safeguarding the multiverse Doctor Strange was going to face off against the mad Titan and basically punch him out of his body similarly to how the ancient one greeted Doctor Strange all those years ago there would be a review of all Thanos misdeeds and the Living Tribunal what ultimately it obviously find him guilty but introducing the Living Tribunal would have been opening up a whole box of multiverses that endgame didn't need it was deemed too out there to include in the movie and would have been a detraction from the movies past an action-packed pace Tony Stark everyone knows that Tony Stark just had to out hero everyone during Avengers endgame by making the ultimate sacrifice to defeat Thanos and save the day and unlike Natasha he did so with tons of witnesses in to catch you last quote Wow it's like she didn't even want a memorial service for sacrificing herself for the greater good not that she's got one anyway but we digress after Tony Stark made his last attention-grabbing move there was a brief time jump during which we saw his memorial service but originally we were going to see more of the immediate aftermath of his sacrifice and not just Peter Parker breaking our hearts this scene was filmed prior to his funeral scene and involved heroes including the Black Panther Captain Marvel Hawkeye star-lord and ant-man mourning his loss but the Russo brothers decided Tony's memorial service had a much greater impact than this battlefield farewell and it was cut from the final version of the movie that's right Natasha's sacrifice was just glossed over while Ironman nearly got to touching farewell scenes final fight although Infinity Ward decimated the MCU lineup the cataclysmic event from the film was reversed during a pivotal moment of endgame when we ended up seeing was all of our formerly dusted hero's join in the battle against Thanos in a blaze of glory but the scene almost ended up being much more awkward everyone showed up already to fight in the movie but the initial idea was to have a few minutes of everyone figuring out what's going on if you think about it everyone did jump into action pretty fast during endgame without much setup but according to writers Christopher Markus Stephen McFeely the scene with all the characters getting their bearings came across as way too unnatural you drop over a dozen people most of whom are complete strangers to one another into a situation it's going to be chaotic there would be people talking over each other or potentially fighting against one another having everyone speak lines of dialogue one at a time during this scene would be the only way to have it not be a total nightmare but in a world of superheroes and magic rocks this was ultimately deemed too unrealistic worthy Captain America wielding Mjolnir was something we had been waiting to see on the big screen for so long but that epic scene was almost quite different instead of effortlessly throwing around the legendary hammer we almost saw Steve Rogers struggling with self-doubt concerning his worthiness first in Avengers age of Ultron he seemed unable to wield Thor's hammer Mjolnir like the rest of the Avengers although it did make it all the more incredible and Kap finally picked up Neil near an endgame in fact the Russo brothers clarified that Steve Rogers was always capable of using the mighty uru weapon he just didn't want to show off before if it was anyone else other than Captain America himself now it seemed like a really lame excuse although we don't know for sure why this moment of self-doubt wasn't included it's probably because he figured all this out already during age of Ultron aerial battle saying that there was a lot going on during the final battle of Avengers and game is kind of the understatement of the century but there was so much more to the final endgame battle which we never got to see and it wasn't all just small details in fact there was originally going to be an entire aerial action sequence according to Sean Gunn he revealed there was going to be a lot more in the air action than we got to see in the final version of the movie and it does make sense considering all of the characters who have the ability to fly either due to their own abilities or the technology at their disposal not to mention all the Chitauri gliders Ravager spaceships and more we saw zooming around after the Avengers compound was last words if you're a fan of CBR and the MCU then you probably know this fun fact about the infamous I am Iron Man from the 2008 movie it wasn't in the script but was something Robert Downey jr. ad-libbed and it went over so well that they decided to keep it in the movie not only was it an amazing cinematic moment but Iron Man going public definitely changed the shape of the MCU so it's pretty ironic that Robert Downey jr. didn't want to say the line he came up with during Avengers end game at first Tony wasn't going to say anything at all when he defeated Thanos for good hey sometimes actions really do speak louder than words but when Tony's last words were changed to I am Iron Man our djs thought it would be sad and emotional and was reluctant to say the line well he was right that the line made the movie much more tragic but it also made it much better than if Tony hadn't said anything at all frankly we can't stop being horrified it intrigued by all the different ways Captain America's story nearly went from his encounter with the Red Skull to his untimely end which of these almost movie moments was
