>Claire would be shown running an underground clinic for vigilantes, and Spider-Man visits her to get patched up after his fight with the Scorpion.
Michael K. Williams had his own subplot in The Incredible Hulk as a Harlem local who realizes the Hulk is trying to help them and briefly stands against the Abomination, which Edward Norton wrote specifically for him because he was a fan of The Wire. It was cut down to one frame in the final movie.
Olivia Munn appeared in Iron Man 2 as Rebecca, a socialite Tony Stark hooks up with during his birthday party. Pepper Potts catches them and storms out. Test-audiences didn’t like Stark treating Pepper that way, so all of Munn’s scenes were cut and she was given a consolation cameo as a television reporter.
Clive Standen played Thor’s cousin Tyr, the captain of the Asgardian Royal Guard, in Thor: The Dark World. He had a substantial role as a warmongering asshole who sides with Odin and butts heads with Thor, and the original post-credits scene even had him delivering the Reality Stone to the Collector instead of Lady Sif, but most of his scenes were cut, reducing him to a background character.

Tom Hiddleston’s extended cameo in Avengers: Age of Ultron, in which an apparition of him interacts with Thor during Thor’s vision quest, was cut because confused test-audiences thought it was implying Loki was responsible for Ultron turning evil.
Captain Marvel was originally going to be introduced as a member of the New Avengers at the end of Age of Ultron to set up her spinoff solo film, and they even shot her intro scene with a stand-in they could later replace once they cast the character, but the whole thing was ultimately scrapped.

Jordi Molla played corrupt Cuban General Castillo in a deleted opening prologue for Ant-Man, which would see younger Hank Pym and Janet Van Dyne on a mission for S.H.I.E.L.D. to take him down at the height of the Cold War. It was cut to get to the main plot faster.
>>155255726Crackerjack Jackson is kind of a deep cut.
Lulu Wilson played Doctor Strange’s sister Donna in a deleted opening for Doctor Strange, which revealed that when they were children, Donna fell through the ice while they were playing in a frozen lake and died despite his efforts, inspiring him to become a doctor and seeding his obsession with control. The prologue was deemed too depressing and scrapped along with all of Wilson’s scenes.
On the subject of Doctor Strange, there’s an alternative cut with Tony Todd voicing Dormammu. Marvel tested both this and the version where Benedict Cumberbatch himself does the voice, and ultimately settled for the latter.
Glenn Close shot a scene as Nova Prime Irani Rael for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 that James Gunn ultimately deemed superfluous and scrapped.

Katherine Langford appeared as an adult version of Morgan Stark in Avengers: Endgame. Stark would meet her in the Soul World after sacrificing himself to kill Thanos, but the scene didn’t test well and was cut entirely.
Gil Birmingham had a role in Eternals big enough that he was credited in the first poster and trailer, but he was nowhere to be seen in the movie, and whoever his character was remains unknown.
Becky Lynch would appear in a bleak alternative ending for Eternals where the Celestials recapture Sersi and Kingo, erase their memories, put them alongside new duplicates of the others, including Harry Styles as Starfox and Lynch as an unnamed Eternals replacing Sprite, and send them to a faraway planet to protect another Celestial egg, still believing their fake memories of being cosmic warriors defending the universe from evil.
>>155255733how do these test audiences never leak shit?
Daniel Craig and Jeff Bridges were set to appear in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness as members of the Illuminati. Bridges would have reprised his role as Obadiah Stane/Iron Monger, while Craig would have played Thor’s brother Balder the Brave. The Scarlet Witch would crush Stane inside his armor and bewitch Balder into impaling himself with his own sword while he’s delivering a speech. Both backed out due to Covid, and Marvel decided to switch them for John Krasinski as Reed Richards and Anson Mount as Black Bolt.
>>155255782I like it. Hot milf vibe.
>>155255810>too depressing for this mediocre phonein animefiller passing grade bare minimum by the books hey we did it of a bland boring standard mcu film? At least this would have given it something distinctive.
>>155256187funny how even with cut actors only the men job in this scene
>>155255782The follow up movie to the Age of Ultron's new avengers tease being civil war really fucked up MCU's flow imo. Seems like they wanted to keep it within ten years for the saga so they just rush the avengers disbanding. They probably should've just out right skipped the civil war shit
Jeff Goldblum, Peter Dinklage, Lena Headey, Da'Vine Joy Randolph and Angus Sampson all shot scenes for Thor: Love and Thunder that ended up being cut on the whims of Taika Waititi. Dinklage returned as Eitri the Dwarf, who gets tortured by Gorr for information on Thor’s axe Stormbreaker then killed for serving the gods. Goldblum reprised the Grandmaster, now living in exile in the “Moon of Shame” and having lost his arms and legs and replaced them with robotic limbs. Headey, Randolph and Sampson were a trio of wacky, chaotic witches who guide Thor and his allies when they venture into Gorr’s domain, the Shadow Realm.

Bill Murray originally had a bigger role in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. Rather than being killed off-screen early in the movie, his character Lord Krylar is imprisoned alongside the freedom fighters led by Jentorra, who calls him out for allying with Kang. When Ant-Man’s daughter Cassie Lang later breaks them out, Krylar decides to join their uprising, but this subplot didn’t test well and wound up being cut to tighten to pacing.
Christopher McDonald was set to have a big role in Secret Invasion as Chris Stearns, a Skrull masquerading as a political commentator who uses his talk show to increase tensions between the United States and Russia. Due to the project’s troubled production and constant rewrites, McDonald had scheduling conflicts and most of his scenes was cut, reducing his role to a cameo.
>>155256228The Ancient One's death is the best in the entire franchise.
Rob McElhenney had a small role in Deadpool & Wolverine as a TVA agent who is captured alongside Deadpool and Wolverine in the Void and fed by Cassandra Nova to the time-eating monster Alioth, but his scenes ended up being cut.
>>155256313Actually hilarious if you're aware of this guy's career ambitions
Sandrine Holt originally replaced Ayelet Zurer as Vanessa Fisk in Daredevil: Born Again. When the project was retooled from a soft reboot into a direct continuation of Netflix’s Daredevil, Zurer was brought back as Vanessa and reshot all of Holt’s scenes.
>>155256324qrd
Harris Yulin also had a role in the original version of Daredevil: Born Again that was cut in the creative overhaul. It is unclear who he played, though set pictures indicate he was an ally/mentor figure to Matt Murdock.
The original cut of Captain America: Brave New World featured the Serpent Society as a group of cyborg mercenaries including Rosa Salazar as Diamondback and Seth Rollins as Cobra. Captain America would fight them in the opening scene, but the sequence didn’t test well, so it was cut and reshot with the Serpent Society as a paramilitary organization led by Giancarlo Esposito as Sidewinder.
>>155256347He's been dying to break out as a huge star for more than a decade. He was passed up for Star Lord and since then hasn't been in a single hero role capeshit or otherwise. He even got in really good shape to be more desirable for those types of roles. On top of this he has what in the surface looks like a parasocial relationship with Ryan Reynolds along with Its always sunny's reputation being in the toilet for like ten years now
In The Fantastic Four: First Steps, John Malkovich played the Red Ghost, a mad scientist who commands an army of genetically enhanced apes, in a deleted opening sequence where he detonates a series of bombs all over the city to distract the Fantastic Four while he attempts to steal their spaceship. He is foiled by Reed Richards, who figures out his plan and arrives at the launch platform just in time to defeat his super-apes and arrest him. Later in the movie, Reed would approach Red Ghost with a "work release" program, and he would then be seen alongside his apes helping build one of the teleportation towers Reed had designed to teleport Earth away from Galactus.

>>155256430Just watch their podcast.He's constantly apologizing for the old episodes and talking about how problematic they are. He's a huge faggot.
>>155256447yeah i dont undertand about this, SOuth Park do the same, apologize for old episodes, and still do shit in the new ones.
>>155256363>Captain America: Brave New WorldI completely forgot that this movie even happened
>>155255747wrong Clive, that's Clive Russell
>>155256475>apologize for old episodes, and still do shit in the new onesI don't know about South Park but it's always sunny has a hard cut off where they clearly shift from being an anything goes type of show to safe edgy. As soon as you see Mindy or even notice the Bar looking cleaner drop the show
>>155256363>>155256497>be fat fuck>go to McDonalds like a year before BNW comes out>see BNW toys>"Captain America">"Red Hulk">"Rose">Who the fuck is Rose?
>>155256377desu dont care about his personal life or polatics I stopped watching sunny after that woke season when dennis left but I always found him to be a funny guy and he was my favorite character on the show. I liked his failed fitness and dudebro persona I think he probably could have made a better character than chris pratt or paul rudd.
>>155256627Mac was funny and Rob was a funny guy. He reminds me a lot of Zach Cregger. He's became a typical reddit-tier lefty type and wants to denounce edgy shit he did for the sake of his career.
>>155256583>clearly shift from being an anything goes type of show to safe edgysouth park is the same honestly. I still find them funny but I don't think theres a single new episode you wouldn't show to the modern left. And its not like they're doing stunts like episode 200 anymore.
>>155256627>>155256656I've always found him the least funny outside of fat Mac and he's stuck out as the worst actor on the show since the beginning. Still love the first ten or so seasons though
>>155255782Garfield Spider-man was also set up to be introduced as a member, and the Oscorp tower from Amazing Spider-Man would've been featured during the fight for New York in the 1st Avengers. Both were scrapped (the Oscorp thing got so close to be featured in Avengers that Andrew Webb's team had even sent Marvel Studios reference material), supposedly by Avi Arad's influence.
>>155257632>Garfield Spider-man was also set up to be introduced as a memberFalse.>the Oscorp tower from Amazing Spider-Man would've been featured during the fight for New York in the 1st AvengersTrue.
>>155257632This would've been better than what we got with Holland, but probably would've lead to live action Miles just in time for Marvel's post endgame phases
>>155256324>>155256377>In June 2025, McElhenney announced that he filed to legally change his last name from McElhenney to Mac, to facilitate his work in South America. In the credits of It's Always Sunny's 17th season, his name was credited as "Rob Mac".
>>155256751Seeing actors like that denounce popular things they did because of modern social mores really leads me to question what the fuck HBO and Howard Stern are doing trying to get Howard popular again. Nigga is prime me too bait and has skated by for so long simply because no one under the age of 40 knows who he is
