The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is a giant web of stories, and every movie adds a new thread. But sometimes, scenes get cut for time or other reasons. These deleted scenes can be fun to see, but some could have had a big impact on the MCU as we know it! Let’s look at 10 deleted scenes from the first “Thor” movie that could have changed everything.
1. S.W.O.R.D. Arrives Early
Remember S.W.O.R.D., the space-focused organization from “WandaVision”? In an early ending, scientist Erik Selvig talks about working with S.W.O.R.D. This would have introduced S.W.O.R.D. way before it actually showed up in the MCU!
2. Healing Stones
This scene hints at powerful stones that can heal injuries. Imagine how things could be different if Thor had these stones throughout the MCU! He might have saved lives or even healed himself.
3. Dr. Pym Makes a Name Drop
A deleted scene has Selvig mentioning Dr. Hank Pym, the scientist who becomes Ant-Man. This tiny nod could have foreshadowed the arrival of Ant-Man years later!
4. A Different Frigga Death
In the movie, Frigga, Thor’s mother, dies in a battle. A deleted scene shows her death being more peaceful. This might have changed the emotional weight of Thor’s journey.
5. Thor Saves Selvig
This scene shows Thor rescuing Selvig from S.H.I.E.L.D. It could have changed the dynamic between Thor and S.H.I.E.L.D., making them seem less trusting of each other.
6. A Sorcerer Supreme Tease
A deleted scene shows a news report mentioning a “Sorcerer Supreme.” This could have been an early hint of Doctor Strange, who wouldn’t appear for years to come!
7. More Jane
A deleted scene shows Jane Foster, Thor’s love interest, researching Asgard, Thor’s home. This could have given us more insight into Jane’s character and her connection to the Asgardian world.
8. A Darker Thor
A deleted scene shows Thor threatening a group of people. This darker side of Thor wasn’t explored in the movie, but it could have been interesting to see how he dealt with his anger.
9. A New Weapon
A deleted scene shows Thor using a new weapon besides his hammer. This could have given him more options in battle and added to his fighting style.
10. A Godly Team-Up
A deleted scene shows Thor meeting other Asgardian warriors. This could have set up future team-ups with other Asgardians, expanding the Asgardian storyline.
These deleted scenes are fun to think about, but it’s also interesting why they were cut. Maybe they didn’t fit the flow of the movie, or maybe the filmmakers had different plans for the future. Who knows? But one thing’s for sure: the MCU is full of surprises, and even deleted scenes can leave a lasting impact!
