Captain America: Civil War - Cap And Black Widow Fought In Deleted Battle

Despite all of the positive criticism levelled at Captain America:Civil War, there were some complaints that the mid-section sagged and there wasn't quite enough action to balance all the exposition. Those people don't know what's good for them, but it does seem an earlier version of the film had at least one more fight scene.

According to writers Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely - in an interview withFandango- there was at one point a fight between the two leaders of the New Avengers as they appeared to be set up at the end of Avengers: Age Of Ultron.

As Markus explained:

"There was a good fight between Captain America and Black Widow that we lost mainly due to time."

McFeely added some colour:

" clearly have a deep relationship even though they're clearly on opposite sides, and you never know how many times you need to hit that over the course of the movie.I think it works without this fight, but we certainly didn't know if it would."

That would have been a great scene: Cap and Black Widow shared as big of an ideological conflict as Cap and Iron Man, and seeing that reach boiling point before Widow ultimately changed her stance would have added some depth to their dynamic.

In case you're wondering, according to McFeely Widow wouldn't have won.

"I guess Cap did.Let's just say he got away in the moment, how about that?"
