8 Movie Trailer Scenes Removed For The Right Reasons

8. Strange Has A Drink (Doctor Strange)

One of the most crucial moments in Doctor Strange is the car crash scene, the accident which results in Strange sustaining some life-changing - and, with the events of the last two Avengers flicks - universe-changing injuries.

Realising just how critical this moment was, director Scott Derrickson smartly removed a quick shot from the movie, one that would have completely changed the context of the scene.

Per the movie's trailers, the shot shows a suited-up Strange enjoying a glass of liquor while looking out of his apartment's massive windows. Had this stayed in the film, it would've implied that Strange's crash was caused by drunk-driving, but Derrickson didn't want this to be the case.

Rather, the director wanted the sole cause of Strange's accident to be his over-confidence, and so, he removed any traces of the character consuming alcohol before stepping behind the wheel.

Strange's whole journey is about him transforming from a selfish egotist into a compassionate protector of the universe, so having that same ego be responsible for his injuries was a good move, to further reinforce why he needed to change.
