10 Fascinating Deleted Scenes From Marvel Movies

Superhero movies are often fairly lengthy films, seeing as they sometimes have to tell detailed origin stories (sometimes of both the hero and villain) as well as serve up a sizeable amount of action and, more often than not, set up future films.

7) Wolverine Meets Spider-Man – Spider-Man

Another superhero meet-and-greet that was never filmed, this one is even more tantalizing as it could have been the first comic book movie crossover – a decade before The Avengers.

Back when Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man was being made, the rivalry between the different studios with superhero franchises had yet to develop, so Sony were happy to have Fox’s X-Men star Hugh Jackman turn up to meet Spidey in a fan-pleasing cameo.

Reflecting on the notion in 2013, Jackman explained the reason why the scene never materialized:

“The problem was, we couldn’t find the suit. The suit was stuck in some thing. And so when they were in New York when I was there, we couldn’t get it together.”

The idea that such a cool-sounding scene was nixed by something as trivial as a mislaid costume is heartbreaking. Jackman’s Wolverine only wears a leather jumpsuit – couldn’t they quickly whip up another one?
