Watch A Nightcrawler Centric X-Men: Apocalypse Deleted Scene In Latest TV Spot

X-Men: Apocalypse finally reaches US theaters on Friday, but a deleted scene from the movie has already appeared in one of the TV spots for the Bryan Singer helmed release. While stills have indicated that Scott, Jean, Jubilee, and Nightcrawler's trip to an '80s era mall makes up at least a few scenes, it ends up consisting solely of them walking out of a screening of Return of the Jedi.

X-Men: Apocalypse finally reaches US theaters on Friday, but a deleted scene from the movie has already appeared in one of the TV spots for the Bryan Singer-helmed release. While stills have indicated that Scott, Jean, Jubilee, and Nightcrawler’s trip to an ’80s era mall makes up at least a few scenes, it ends up consisting solely of them walking out of a screening of Return of the Jedi.

It’s been clear for a while though that some of this sequence ended up on the cutting room floor, and in the video above, we get to see Nightcrawler learning what brain freeze is in a humorous moment which indicates that an earlier version of X-Men: Apocalypse likely spent quite a bit more time with this quartet’s adventure away from the X-Mansion.

While it being trimmed down probably isn’t a massive loss, it would have been nice to spend a little more time with Jubilee in X-Men: Apocalypse, especially as these scenes being cut ended up mean that the character has only a very small cameo in the film. Hopefully we’ll end up seeing this scene and more on the Blu-ray when it’s released a few months from now anyway.

As well as returning cast members Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, James McAvoy and Nicholas Hoult, X-Men: Apocalypse will also introduce Alexandra Shipp, Sophie Turner, Tye Sheridan, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Lana Condor, Oscar Isaac, Ben Hardy, Olivia Munn and a number of others. The movie is set to be released on May 27th, 2016.
