6. Wong's Warning - Spider-Man: No Way Home

There are a couple of obvious shots in the Spider-Man: No Way Home trailer that were ultimately cut or altered. Doctor Strange's line "Scooby Doo this sh*t" was too crass for the promotions so it was changed to "Scooby Doo this crap!" To keep the two extra Spider-Men's appearance a surprise (which didn't work), they were edited out of certain shots in the teaser.

But another moment that was didn't make it into the movie involves Wong. In the trailer, he orders Stephen Strange not to cast the Memory Spell, insisting it's too dangerous. After the goatee-sporting magician seemingly agrees with Wong's terms, he reassures Peter Parker by giving him a subtle wink.

But in No Way Home, the scene is... a different scene. While Strange and Spidey are discussing the Memory Spell, Wong tells them to leave him out of it before exiting through a portal. He gives no orders. Strange gives no false promise. And most importantly, there's no wink!

Seeing Strange blatantly defy Wong's orders and misuse his magic would've been a more interesting since it could've caused a conflict between the two sorcerers. But for whatever reason, this dialogue was changed.
