6) Loki’s Cameo – Avengers: Age of Ultron
Tom Hiddleston’s Loki pretty much stole the show in The Avengers, which is no mean feat when the cast also includes the likes of Robert Downey Jr., Samuel L Jackson and an enormous green rage monster. It was a safe bet, then, that Loki would turn up in the sequel Age of Ultron. However, when the film released, the villain was nowhere to be seen, as his cameo appearance had been cut.
He would have turned up in Thor’s dream sequence, apparently doing an impression of Odin (calling back to the end of Thor: The Dark World). Whedon revealed, however, that the dreams were “not an executive favourite” and a lot of those scenes were excised from the final product.
Likewise, Thor’s visit to that cave with the mystical Pool of Exposition was also longer, with the Asgardian being possessed by mystical beings called the Norn.
