Total Nerd Deleted Scenes Wisely Cut From Comic Book Movies
List Rules Vote up the scenes you can't believe were in the original cut.
While watching deleted scenes from comic book movies can be fun for the most devoted of fans, sequences that don't make it into tent-pole Marvel movies end up on the cutting room floor for a reason.
Scenes cut from kids' movies are usually axed because they are a little off-putting, like the deleted scene from Home Alone where Kevin gets pantsed by his uncle. Some deleted scenes from sci-fi movies make the special features list because they were too hokey, like when a xenomorph does the crab-walk in Alien. Deleted scenes from comic book movies may have been left out due to similar reasons, but sometimes they need to be cut for continuity's sake. The complexities of shared superhero universes don't leave much wiggle room for extra scenes or storylines.
Marvel movies lead the pack when it comes to deleted scenes, but comic book films from all publishers and studios have their fair share of embarrassing clips they were wise enough to leave out of the final product.
The morbidly obese vampire from Blade, who the vampire hunter roasts with UV light, evidently got so fat by eating children. A deleted scene shows the corpses of said children littered around his hovel when Blade (Wesley Snipes) enters. David S. Goyer, the screenwriter, originally had the detail in the script because "I figured that Pearl was obviously too fat to get out of his bed, and that people would have to bring him bodies."
In a scene at the end of the movie, Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) falls from a helicopter as it's shot out of the sky. In the original filming of the Suicide Squad scene, however, Jared Leto's Joker was supposed to push her out.
The movie was not well-received, with only 26% on Rotten Tomatoes, but Joker attempting to murder his ladylove wasn't the problem. Cutting as many of Leto's scenes as they did could have been part of the issue, though, at least according to Leto.
Loki Was Originally In 'Avengers: Age Of Ultron'
In Thor's (Chris Hemsworth) oracular pool scene, he was supposed to get a vision of Loki (Tom Hiddleston) in Asgard masquerading as Odin. This wouldn't have necessarily ruined Avengers: Age of Ultron, but it could have jeopardized a scene in Thor: Ragnarok. If this scene had been included in the film, it would mean Thor would have known Odin wasn't really Odin upon his return to Asgard, and we would have been robbed of Anthony Hopkins delightfully hammy Loki-as-Odin performance.
Norman Osborn's Cryogenically Frozen Head Was Cut From 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2'
Norman Osborn (Chris Cooper) was just briefly in The Amazing Spider-Man series before dying off-screen. Sony was apparently planning on bringing him back, which is why his severed, frozen head was in a deleted scene, further setting up the Sinister Six movie that has been stuck in development hell. Originally, the scene was supposed to act as a post-credits teaser.
