Doomsday, the deleted scene from Endgame could connect Tony Stark to Doctor Doom

Avengers: Endgame gave fans some of the most emotional moments of the entire MCU. From highly epic sequences, such as Tony Stark’s sacrificeto more controversial points, such as Steve Rogers and his highly anticipated dance with Peggy Carterthe film is so full of emotions that, more than six years after its release, it is still talked about animatedly. However, what many fans don’t know is that, originally, the blockbuster of Russo brothers it included an even more touching moment.

Let’s talk about one deleted scene which today is more relevant than ever, because it could have to do with the return of Robert Downey Jr. in the shoes of Doctor Doom in Avengers: Doomsday. What happens in this clip? Apparently, long before Marvel revealed its plans for Doomsdayin Endgame a scene was planned where Tony enters the same mysterious realm where, in Avengers: Infinity War, Thanos to see Gamora as a child, after killing her to extract the Soul Gem. There, the hero meets a more adult version of his daughter, Morgan Starkplayed by Katherine Langford. The two have a conversation in which she tells him that, despite growing up without a father, she is proud of his sacrifice, because he helped save millions of people.

With the upcoming MCU debut of Victor von Doomthis moment suddenly becomes important again.

Why was the scene with Tony and Morgan Stark cut from Avengers: Endgame?

The scene with Tony and Morgan it seems perfect: it’s profound, moving, sensible. Why on earth, then, the Russo brothers cut itdepriving fans of a final and poignant farewell? Apparently, during test screenings, audiences didn’t react as well as they did Marvel expected. Many viewers, instead of crying, were confused, because they had never seen the adult version of Morgan before. Since this was his first appearance, he did not create the emotional impact that the company hoped for.

The lack of transportation from the audience also led the directors to realize that the scene it slowed down the film and it made an already dense plot heavier. Endgame juggles time travel, multiple story arcs, and the monumental final battle. In the midst of all this, a completely new version of Morgan would have brought too many irons to the fire. Therefore, despite the excellent interpretation of Katherine Langfordthe scene didn’t fit naturally into the flow of the film. The problem wasn’t the idea itself, but the execution.

If the Russo brothers had exchanged adult Morgan for the little MorganWho knows, it might have worked. Tony’s most vivid memories, after all, are linked to his little girl, not the adult version he never met. Seeing ‘his’ Morgan forgive him and reassure him that everything would be fine would have reflected the logic of the moment Thanos with the young woman Gamoraoffering the same poignant conclusion.

Avengers: Doomsday, Morgan Stark could be Doctor Doom’s weak point

Marvel cut Tony and Morgan’s last moment from Avengers: Endgameand there is no remedy for this. But the MCU still has a chance to bring that emotional scene back. With the return of Robert Downey Jr. in Avengers: DoomsdayTony Stark’s story seems far from over. Among the most popular theories among fans, in fact, there is the possibility that Doctor Doom it is a distorted version of Tony in the Multiverse. If this were true, the Russos would have the opportunity to revisit the bond Stark had with his daughter.

Let’s recap: Doom is the new big bad, and the Avengers must face someone who looks exactly like their longtime friend. This conflict could be the very thing that turns the tide of history in their favor. If Doom were, deep down, a version of Tony, it would mean he has a heart. Even if he did everything to hide it behind sarcasm and armor. And this is where Morgan could come into play and undermine his evil plans. If the heroes traveled into the Multiverse, they could find a version of the young woman capable of touching the villain’s most impenetrable strings. Perhaps Morgan of Earth-616 it might remind him of Tony’s sacrifice. Or there is a reality in which Destiny himself had a daughter who can convince him to stop his plans. In any case, Avengers: Doomsday has the perfect opportunity to recover the deleted scene of Endgame and use it in a new and powerful way.
