One such scene that has been discussed about in detail over the past week is Tony Stark’s journey to the Soul World, in which he meets an adult version of his daughter played by Katherine Langford of 13 Reasons Why. In a recent interview with Inverse, co-director of Avengers: Endgame, Joe Russo explained how they conceptualised the scene and why it was eventually removed.
Russo then explained that they wanted to have a scene with Tony that mirrors Thanos’ in Avengers: Infinity War, where the Mad Titan sees his daughter after acquiring the Soul Stone. While the idea is great on paper, I think the Russos made the right decision to cut it out of the film. Considering Avengers: Endgame was a huge nostalgic trip down 11 years of Marvel Cinematic Universe movies, it would’ve been rather odd to have an unfamiliar face be a part of an arc that’s heavy on emotion.
