10 Worst MCU Deleted Scenes EVER

Though this deleted scene technically fills one of Iron Man's minor plot holes - explaining how Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) was able to fly from America to Afghanistan to save some embattled villagers - it's just not worth the near-five minutes the scene lasts.

Basically, this cut scene explains that Tony stopped off in Dubai to host a party before jetting off to Afghanistan, which amounts to a parade of sycophants sucking up to him, a cameo from rapper Ghostface Killah, and Tony going to bed with three beautiful women.

But of course, Tony simply uses the women as a diversion to take attention away from himself while he suits up in Mark II and heads to Afghanistan.

There's also an additional scene included after the Afghanistan set-piece, where Pepper (Gwyneth Paltrow) wakes up to find Tony drinking liquor while still wearing his smoking Iron Man suit.

Ultimately the "plot hole" isn't bothersome enough to warrant inclusion of such a long and mostly redundant sequence: we already know about Tony's dubiously-moralled partying, and most fans would be willing to suspend their disbelief that Iron Man could travel from the U.S. to Afghanistan in one fell swoop.
