10 Awesome Ideas That Were Cut From The MCU

10. Arnim Zola Gets A Robotic Upgrade

Arnim Zola is one of the MCU's most underappreciated villains. Played by the brilliant Toby Jones, the character was involved in some pretty major moments in MCU history, from rebuilding HYDRA, to turning Bucky into the Winter Soldier.

Zola was last seen on the big screen in 2014's Captain America sequel, where his attempt to destroy Steve and Natasha with a couple of heatseeking missiles resulted in his destruction. However, as per some concept art drawn by Josh Nizzi, he almost appeared in 2015's Ant-Man too - and with quite a bold look, we might add.

With his Terminator-esque metal body, holographic head, and stylish leather jacket, this android version of Zola looks absolutely badass, and it would've been awesome to see it brought to life via Marvel Studios' special effects wizardry.

And as for how this robo-Zola would've factored into Ant-Man's plot? Well, there was a time when he was scheduled to appear in the first act of the movie, alongside Peggy Carter, Howard Stark, Hank Pym, and Alexander Pierce - an idea that clearly morphed into the finished film's 1989-set prologue.
