Avengers: Infinity War Directors Reveal Funny Deleted Scene
Avengers: Infinity War is the longest movie yet in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Given everything the film had to accomplish and the endless list of characters it needed to service, that should come as no surprise. Still, that doesn't mean there was no footage left on the cutting room floor.
While most of what was shot for the film was used in the final product, Infinity War co-directors the Russo brothers have revealed details about one special deleted scene to Entertainment Weekly. "I think there's one really funny Guardians scene that didn't make the cut," Joe Russo says. "It's just more of a straight-up comedic scene."
Anthony Russo sheds a bit more light on the scene. "It's a scene where they're sort of stuck. There's a point in the movie where they're stuck without knowing what to do. And it was just this absurd scene of the Guardians not knowing where to go. And it was really fun and it was very endearing to us. But because the movie is so big and so propulsive, it just wasn't quite pushing us where we needed to go."
Everything else Joe describes as "loose ends here and there" that were trimmed to get Infinity War to its final running time. Additionally, as he explains, it makes sense that so little else was removed from the film.
"You have to be so vigilant in the script phase about what you are going to include in the movie just from a storytelling standpoint and be really difficult on the material because it is so expensive to acquire the material and you have limited time with some of the actors," Joe says. "Schedules don't always line up, so you have to be really targeted."
As for whether you'll ever get to see that deleted scene featuring the Guardians of the Galaxy, never fear. The Russos confirm it will be available on the home release of Avengers: Infinity War. Maybe this scene will explain whatever happened to Kraglin.
