10 Movie Outtakes That Should Have Stayed In

5. Rhodey Shades Thor. A Lot. - Avengers: Endgame

Avengers: Endgame clocks in at a hefty 181 minutes, so there's a fair argument to be made that it needed to lose material rather than gain any more.

Even so, there's an hysterical quick back-and-forth between War Machine (Don Cheadle) and Bro Thor (Chris Hemsworth) that was sadly cut from the movie's second act.

You'll likely remember the beat where Thor asks Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.), "What do you think is coursing through my veins?", to which Rhodey interrupts with, "Cheez Whizz."

It's a funny line, but Cheadle improvised a number of superior additional retorts, such as, "Coco Puffs", "nachos", "Funyuns," and best of all, "embarrassment." Clearly it wouldn't have taken much work to edit these quips into a montage in the movie, though perhaps that would've been a little too fourth wall-breaking for the biggest movie of all time.

Even if they were committed to just a single zinger, though, they probably should've switched out Cheez Whizz for embarrassment, right? Check out part of Cheadle's improv session at 0:35 in the clip below:
