16 Deleted Comic Book Movie Scenes You're Not Allowed To See

3. The Best Scene - Avengers: Age Of Ultron

According to Birth. Movies. Death there was originally a scene in the script of Age of Ultron that they called "THE fist-pumping moment of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.” Considering that came in the same movie as Hulk versus the Hulkbuster, it must have been SOME scene.

It's a mystery what the scene was, but Joss Whedon confirmed it was something to do with Hulk's final moments, and that it was very good, but it ultimately didn't organically fit into the end of the movie, despite how hard he tried to force it.

In the end he told Marvel they could use it elsewhere:

“I don’t talk about it specifically because I said to Marvel, ‘You can use this in another movie! Hold on to that!’”

Judging by that comment, it was from the comics, and judging by BMD's assessment it was bad-ass. Maybe it was something to do with Planet Hulk?

Why It Was Cut

Frustratingly, we'll probably never know what the scene is, but we do at least know that it was cut for story-telling reasons, and it's never shown up because it might appear in another form elsewhere.
