10 More Disturbing Scenes Cut From Comic Book Movies
10. The High Evolutionary Puts His Face Back Together In Jail - Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3
After having his ass royally whooped by the Guardians of the Galaxy, the despicable High Evolutionary eventually had his prosthetic mask pulled from his face to reveal the horrific injuries inflicted on him by Rocket all those years ago.
And while Drax the Destroyer is just about shown carrying Vol. 3's big bad off ArĂȘte as the clan save those who were imprisoned within the lab, it wasn't made clear during the film itself exactly what happened to this creepy geneticist.
Well, according to director James Gunn (via Threads), one of the film's rather uncomfortable deleted scenes contains those canon answers.
Once the gang are all safely back on Knowhere, a cut moment from the film reveals the High Evolutionary being locked away in a prison cell by Rocket. In the seconds before the antagonist is sealed within the laser cell, this creator of life can be seen disturbingly attempting to press his aforementioned prosthetic mask back onto his beaten face.
It's a short sequence. But it's one that both confirms exactly what happened to the legendary raccoon's creator and leaves you ever so slightly wincing in your seat at the visual of that flappy fake skin being reattached to his ripped-apart mug.
