Avengers: Endgame directors reveal deleted scene between Thor and Valkyrie
Note: This article contains spoilers for Avengers: Endgame.
Avenger: Endgame directors Joe and Anthony Russo have revealed a scene between Thor and Valkyrie that was cut from the final movie.
At the end of the film, Thor (Chris Hemsworth) names Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson) as New Asgard's new leader. But before leaves to join the Guardians of the Galaxy, he and Valkyrie share a rather awkward moment.
"There's a funny beat," Anthony told Entertainment Weekly's Sirius XM 105. "If you remember at the end of the film where Thor is saying goodbye to Valkyrie, he's basically turning over Asgard to her.
"In the endings, we felt we wanted to keep it a little tight, so we were looking for things to squeeze there.
"He had this beat where Valkyrie... she puts her arm on his shoulder. And [Thor] sort of starts to lean in for a kiss, and she goes, 'What are you doing?'. And he goes, 'Oh, I thought that the touch–', and she's like, 'It's a goodbye tap I'm giving you'.
"It was a really funny beat, but we cut it."
Joe added: "It was cute. It was mostly improvised by the two [actors]. It was very funny."
That wasn't the only thing they cut. The Russos explained on the HappySadConfused podcast that 13 Reasons Why star Katherine Langford was supposed to appear in the movie as a teenage version of Tony Stark's daughter Morgan after he was transported to the metaphysical world following his Infinity Gauntlet snap.
But that moment was removed from the final version.
