Iron Man 2008 Deleted Scenes

[Adelaida Frodge]

Themoment could have marked the beginning of a partnership that never came. Despite their connection from Iron Man 2, Stark and Romanoff never become particularly close even after becoming Avengers, and their friendship is never explored in any depth. The pair sharing a moment in Iron Man 2 might have changed the landscape of both of their respective MCU stories had it not been deleted.

One of the most renowned deleted scenes featuring Iron Man was actually set after his death, and it would have hugely changed his MCU ending. Upon using the Infinity Stones and sacrificing himself to save the universe, the scene showed Stark meeting an older version of his daughter, Morgan, in the Soul World, sharing a final moment with her. The scene was reportedly removed as test audiences found it unnecessary and confusing, but it would have changed a lot.

For a variety of reasons, scenes are deleted from movies and TV series. Whatever that reason, the scene was not good enough to advance from the writers to the actors to the cameras. At many times, these scenes give a more detailed exposition of a plot point, or just add an "Easter egg" to be enjoyed. Since they provide additional plot points or exposition, deleted scenes are considered as valid as the released ones from an in-universe point of view, unless they are contradicted in the published scenes of a movie or episode.

a Martian death machine loaded with energy weapons and such. The irony of the film is that the Iron Giant really IS part of an alien invasion, confirming the semi-paranoid fears of the townspeople and military forces. It is only through his friendship with the boy that these fears are circumvented.

My question, however, is why would there be only ONE Iron Giant? I can only assume that he was an advance scout or that his landing was an accident. Otherwise, it would only make sense for there to be numerous robots instead of a single one.

Basically, no, the Iron Giant was not alone. The deleted scene shows the Giant dreaming in Dean's junkyard, and it's visions show up on Dean's TV while he's drowsing. It's dream shows that at some point in the past, it was part of a large, destructive invasion force, used as a weapon against others. They possibly even destroyed planets, as one is shown being ripped to pieces by energy beams.

This is a great edit. I watched this edit with my little cousin: I am showing her the MCU before we go to see Endgame. I decided to show her this edit Iron Man 2, and I was not disappointed.

The film becomes much more focused. Lapis molari does his best to restructure and tighten a messy plot, and man does it work better. Deleted scenes are added to emphasize certain things, anything that distracts from the main story is trimmed, and the theme of legacy is allowed to finally shine. I also loved little changes like adding "That was easy" after they beat Vanko.

I do have some issues with it, though. First of all, some deleted scenes don't visually match the normal movie. Color correction was needed here. Maybe there was some made by lapis molari but wasn't enough, but I don't know. Also, the "Nanoball" deleted scene I felt was completely unnecessary and has very bad incomplete CGI. But despite our objection to a certain wipe in the discussion thread, I didn't mind the other wipes in the film at all, save for one at the end where it transitions from Pepper to the SHIELD building.

I also think some cuts are very rough and abrupt, and it really takes you out of the movie. Off the top of my head two examples are: the transition from Tony, Hammer and Christine Everhart to Tony looking at his blood toxicity in front of the mirror. The second one, as I referenced before, was the last scene with Tony and Pepper. Pepper is throwing a temper tantrum but then it cuts to Tony suddenly calming down and saying she deserves better, and Pepper smiling, and suddenly they're kissing... It's clear quite a bit is cut, and it feels extremely rushed and choppy.

Finally, my last issue is a narrative one. It's not a plot-hole or anything, but I really missed the rest of the dialogue between Tony and Ivan in the prison room. "If you can make God bleed, people will cease to believe in him." These lines, and that scene which I firmly believe is the best scene in the movie, are connected to the theme of legacy and explains Ivan Vanko's motivation, adding depth to his revenge plot. Removing it just makes Ivan, who was a Marvel villain with potential to be really great, even lesser in my eyes.

As I side note, I would like to mention that my little cousin thought this film was the weakest of the MCU films because it was slow paced and, in her words, boring, in the first two acts (especially in the slllooow, complicated-for-a-child senate meeting, and overly long dialogue scenes). I agree that the pacing in the first two acts still remains slow, even kind of amplified with the added deleted scenes. However she got much more hooked and excited in the third act, which she thought had great action. Also, she really loved Black Widow!

I apologize that my criticisms are more than my praises, because the edit really triumphs in improving the film and making a focused narrative, something the original film really fell short on. I highly recommend it.

Iron Man producer Jeremy Latcham claims there are multiple "embarrassing" deleted scenes from the acclaimed 2008 superhero film that will never be released, including one that airs some of its dirty laundry -- literally.

Per Screen Rant, Latcham says there are "three or four" deleted scenes from Iron Man the public will never see because of how "bad" they are. One scene in particular concerned Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige, featuring notable Iron Man antagonist Abu Bakaar (Sayed Badreya) doing laundry. Feige insisted the scene couldn't come out as it would make Marvel look incompetent. "There are still three or four deleted scenes from [Iron Man] that I don't think will ever be released because they were so bad," Latcham said. "I remember Kevin saying to me in 2012, when I was like, 'Should we put the Abu doing laundry deleted scenes out?' And Kevin was like, 'No. We can never put out Abu doing laundry. People will know we don't know what we're doing. It'll be embarrassing if they see these scenes.'"

Feige's fears were understandable, considering that 2008's Iron Man was the first film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. According to Latcham, the deleted scenes are too "absurd" to be released. "There was a whole runner in Iron Man where Tony Stark was doing laundry and I don't think they've ever come out. Someone should look into it, but I don't think they've ever been seen," he said. "Tony is doing laundry for the captors, but he's really breaking the washing machine and stealing parts from it to build the Mark 1 suit. It's so absurd. It's wild."

In Iron Man, Tony (Robert Downey Jr.) was captured by Abu and fellow members of the Ten Rings terrorist group, who detained him to ensure he built weapons on their behalf. Abu tortured Tony after Tony refused to help him create a version of the Jericho missile, only guaranteeing him freedom if he complied. Tony instead constructed the first version of the Iron Man armor, using it to escape captivity.

Despite the omitted scenes, Iron Man proved to be a very successful opener for the MCU. The film grossed over $585 million on a $140 million budget, accelerating Downey's Hollywood renaissance in the process and sparking a trilogy of Iron Man movies. Latcham went on to produce Iron Man 2 and other notable MCU features, such as The Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy and Spider-Man: Homecoming. His most recent production credit came on Paramount Pictures' Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves.

Iron Man's place in history was sealed last December when it was officially added to the National Film Registry due to its cultural and historical significance. Tony Stark's last appearance in the MCU was during Avengers: Endgame, where he died after sacrificing himself to stop Thanos. Despite rumors about Tony's potential return in the MCU, there are no known plans for the character to make a live-action return as of now.

For those wanting more of his intriguing take on the comic-book supervillain Mandarin, the Blu-ray release of Iron Man 3 (out Sept. 24) features a deleted scene where the Mandarin communicates with one of his operatives before going on TV and delivering a creepy message to the world.

In addition to a bevy of deleted and alternate scenes, the Iron Man 3 Blu-ray includes an audio commentary with director Shane Black, making-of featurettes, gag reel, a behind-the-scenes look at the next Marvel Studios movie Thor: The Dark World and the new "Marvel One Shot" short Agent Carter starring Hayley Atwell.
