When Avengers: Endgame was first released, many questioned the absence of actress Katherine Langford, who was announced as part of the movie's cast the year prior, yet was totally absent in the final cut.

As it turned out, her role was small-but-significant, yet ultimately cut from the movie by the Russo brothers.

In a deleted scene viewable on Disney+, we see that Langford plays an older version of Tony Stark's (Robert Downey Jr.) daughter Morgan, who appears to him as a vision in Soulworld after he uses his Infinity Gauntlet to kill Thanos (Josh Brolin) and his army.

Morgan effectively assures Tony that his sacrifice was worthwhile, before he tells her, "I love you 3000."

In commentary for the scene, Joe Russo revealed that Langford's role was cut because it "ground the movie to a halt" and felt redundant given that Tony says "I love you 3000" via video in the subsequent eulogy scene.

Ultimately it's a bit of a stilted scene dramatically and so it's easy to appreciate why the Russos cut it, yet it's nevertheless neat for fans to see it on Disney+ and catch a glimpse of what the adult Morgan will look like.
