19. Hulk Meets The Ancient One (Alternate Version)

A variation of the scene that actually ended up in the film, Hulk ends up crossing paths with The Ancient One in exactly the same way and the two end up having a similar conversation. However, there are some differences.

For a start, Tilda Swinton's Sorcerer Supreme makes a remark about the Time Stone that suggests she knew exactly why he was there. And - in a separate deleted scene on the official release - the pair then engage in a conversation about the power of the Time Stone, similar to the one they have actually have in the movie. The difference, however, is that the Ancient One is willing to give it to him because she knows everything there is to know about Thanos.

The Russos revealed in the commentary that they ultimately had to rework (and completely reshoot) it in order to convey the time travel rules to the audience through their conversation and, perhaps more importantly, give Bruce Banner more conflict to overcome.
