Katherine Langford on being cut from 'Avengers: Endgame'
In a recent conversation during Collider Ladies Night, Katherine Langford opened up about her scene being removed from the theatrical version of Avengers: Endgame. She said that people asked her if she was upset and she replied with, ‘Whatever’s the best thing for the film’. The actor explained that because at the end of the day, she would rather have had the experience of being in a really good film than be in a film for the sake of being in it even if it does not work. She stated that she does not want to be in something and then be the “sore thumb” that sticks out. She asserted that she did not feel that way at all and the same goes for the directors, the Russo brothers.
Katherine Langford mentioned that they did this “very sentimental” scene and something that was “really beautiful” and a gift to the fans. She thinks that it is why the makers had it included and then why they essentially released it later because, for the fans who really love Marvel, it was a “nice little extra, soft, little delectable” thing for them to kind of digest.
