MCU Scenes That Were Too R-Rated To Make It To The Original Cut

The MCU films are known for their family-friendly approach, but they also have the potential to bring more R-rated elements to the big screen.

While fans wonder what adult material could be added to the beloved stories, we found the real MCU scenes with a more mature rating that were planned to be but never made it to the final cut.

Tony Stark's Wild Night

This scene was cut from the first Iron Man because it contained dialogue that didn't fit the tone of the film. In the deleted scene, Tony Stark is throwing a party in Dubai.

He chooses a woman there and, with a very subtle hint, lets the audience realize that they are about to have a threesome.

The camera then follows them into the bedroom, where Tony, distracted by a phone call, tells his companions to start without him. With Iron Man being the first serious project of the MCU, deleting this scene before the big start was the right choice.

I Want To See The Holes

Spider-Man: No Way Home made our dream come true – the movie finally brought our three favorite Spideys together.

As Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield and Tom Holland share a heartwarming moment of getting to know each other before the final battle against their enemies, they share interesting facts about themselves to find the similarities and differences between them.

When Andrew and Tom's Peter Parker find out that Tobey's Peter can shoot the web directly from his wrists, Andrew's character says, "I want to see the holes," obviously referring to the holes in the wrists, but not to mislead the audience with this catchy phrase it was decided to cut this scene.

Monster Children

Avengers: Infinity War features Thor's adventures in a spaceship with Rocket and Groot in search of a new Mjölnir.

In this scene, after Thor gets his hammer back, the children of the World Serpent, the large serpent or dragon from Norse mythology, had to attack the superhero trio.

It wasn't revealed what the children would look like and whether they would have human features or monster ones as their ancestor, but the scene would definitely contain the battle full of blood and death, and showing dying children (human or snake ones) on screen is something that definitely requires an R rating.

Rhodey Split In Half

During the fight against the Black Order in Avengers: Infinity War, War Machine, aka James Rhodes, was supposed to be sliced in half, making the audience believe that he had met his end, but then he would suddenly appear on the screens revealing that he was remote-controlling his costume.

However, two reasons led to abandoning this idea — first, it could not make the expected impact on the audience, as they would doubt the necessity to fit into the costume that can always be remote-controlled, and second, you know, cut in half…children would be traumatized.

Scarlet Witch Goes Mad

You would ask: "Could she go more off the rails as she did?" And we would say yes, of course she could.

In this version of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness we could see the Wasp, among others, countering Wanda and her madness.

But the insect-sized character would be introduced only to allow the Scarlet Witch to crush the superhero with her fingers. Oh, and she was also supposed to serve Mordo's head to Doctor Strange. What a massacre.
