10 Secret Subplots You Didn’t Know Were Cut From Popular Movies
10. The Thing In Action - Fantastic Four (2015)
There's no doubt that Josh Trank's Fantastic Four reboot was a poor affair marred by a terrible script, out-of-place casting decisions and forgettable... everything. But there was actually a big deleted scene which would have been good to see in the final cut of the movie.
After the peculiar one year time jump after the team first get their powers, there was meant to be a sequence in which The Thing (Jamie Bell) would attack an enemy base by jumping from a plane. He would crash into the earth, creating a massive crater, and then walk through his opponents as they tried to shoot him down with little effect.
This scene was actually briefly shown in the trailer, but was cut from the finished film because Trank thought it wasn't necessary. Given the fact the movie was slated for its lack of action sequences and suffers from a clear underuse of the heroes and their powers, perhaps it would have been wiser to keep in.
Then again, it probably would have been wise to make a better film. We can't all be winners.
