10 Awesome Ideas That Were Cut From The MCU
8. The TVA Arrests Rocket Raccoon
The Loki series featured a bunch of wacky alternate versions of the God of Mischief, but for a show all about the craziness of alternate timelines, it was noticeably light on multiversal cameos from the MCU's many familiar faces.
After all, it would've been easy to slot in a random Peter Quill or Thor variant in the background of a shot, and back when concept art for the series was being drawn up, the artists had something like that in mind.
More specifically, concept art of the TVA's processing area shows a Rocket Raccoon variant stood in line, waiting to stand trial for his crimes.
In the finished show, this processing area is largely empty, and that's because the COVID-19 pandemic forced director Kate Herron to strip the scene down. Had the pandemic not been a factor, this room would've been filled with characters referencing both the comics and the wider MCU - including, potentially, everyone's favourite tech-savvy fuzzball. And who wouldn't want to see that?
