Captain America: Civil War has been already released worldwide and in the U.S.A, and among it's success, writers of the picture, Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely have sat down, to talk and reveal about two scenes that were cut from the script.
Here's what they both said:
Are there any memorable scenes that were cut in the writing process? Are there any scenes that you both miss from the final cut?
McFeely: Nothing that we miss. The brothers pride themselves on shooting only what they need, but shooting the hell out of it.
Markus: I don’t think there’s anything we shot…We wrote some fun…There was a point where we went all the way with Scott Lang in San Francisco and got to have a little more taste of what his life was like, and it was fun to write for us. But it was unnecessary, so it never made it to the camera.
Can I ask what was his life like in San Francisco?
McFeely: No!
Markus: No! We were probably wrong. Because of the nature of when we start making the movie versus when it comes out, as we’re doing it for Infinity War, we wrote a lot, if not all, of Scott Lang’s stuff before we ever saw Ant-Man.
You just have to roll with that because we need to film.
McFeely: We assume that the Infinity War drafts we turn in shortly are…we’re probably just wrong on some of these voices.
To add, Joe Russo added this:
There was a scene between Natasha and T’Challa at the German Ops Center, halfway through the movie when he was sitting in that room. Cap and Falcon had been isolated in the other conference room.
We didn’t feel like it was moving the storytelling forward and they had already had a scene. It felt repetitive, so it was something we excised from the movie.
In Markus & McFeely's original draft, the Wasp joined the airport set piece. Wouldn't that be fun. But it didn't really happen because Kevin Feige wanted to hold off introducing the Wasp till Ant Man And The Wasp.
