The Jaw-Dropping Deleted Scene in Thor Love & Thunder That Changes Everything

Summary

Thor: Love and Thunder originally planned to redeem a Marvel villain, as revealed in a deleted scene featuring Jeff Goldblum's Grandmaster with cybernetic appendages.

Including the Grandmaster in the film would have generated speculation about his whereabouts post Thor: Ragnarok and introduced further depth to an already complex plot. Ultimately, the choice to exclude the Grandmaster scene may have been made to prevent overwhelming the audience and maintain a seamless storytelling experience in Thor: Love and Thunder.

A deleted scene from Thor: Love and Thunder unveils that a villain from the Marvel Cinematic Universe was initially intended to undergo redemption in the movie. Chris Hemsworth's portrayal of Thor has experienced a remarkable evolution within the MCU, with his individual franchise transitioning from the seriousness of the first two Thor films to the comedic style of director Taika Waititi's Thor adventures. While the humor in Thor: Love and Thunder may have fallen short, the film did present intriguing connections to the wider MCU. However, a character who was once a villain ultimately got removed from the final cut. Storyboards from the film, shared by Thor: Love and Thunder's storyboard artist William Groebe, offer a fresh perspective on a scene featuring Jeff Goldblum's Grandmaster that did not make it into the movie.
