Fans Gutted At Bizarre Scene Cut From Thor: Love And Thunder

Fans were left gutted when they realised one bizarre scene was cut from Thor: Love and Thunder.

We've waited a long time to see the latest Thor film, and Taika Waititi didn't disappoint.

Complete with a heartbreaking plot line, hilarious cast and killer soundtrack, we'll be re-watching this one for a while.

Check out the trailer below:

We weren't the only ones who were impressed, with fans taking to social media to say they loved the film so much they wanted more.

But one scene in particular that comes to mind sadly didn't make the final cut.

Behind the scenes images shared last year show Jane Foster, portrayed by Natalie Portman, transforming into The Mighty Thor.

And it's pretty weird, we're not going to lie, but it would've been great to see on the big screen.

While Jane's transformation into the Mighty Thor happens offscreen in the finished film, footage and stills from the set show Portman writhing in the air while held aloft by men in blue morph suits who would later be digitally removed.

Fans agreed it's a shame we didn't get to see this moment, with one saying: "My face when they didn't add this scene with Natalie Portman transforming into Mighty Thor."

Another replied: "I haven’t seen the movie yet, BUT ARE YOU SERIOUS??? ARE YOU ACTUALLY BEING FR????"

A third didn't like the way the film was cut: "It was obvious they cut out a lot of content. Very poor editing the way they jumped from one scene to the next. It was completely disorienting. Feel sorry for the Taika, the actors and the other crew members.

"Marvel needs their execs to stay away from production."

While we actually quite liked the editing of the film, we understand that fans felt they'd missed out on some killer scenes - like the one above.

To make things worse, the film was actually the shortest Marvel has made in a while.

The new Thor film comes in at one hour and 59 minutes. For context, Avengers: Endgame was three hours and one minute.

Some fans on Twitter weren't happy when the runtime was announced, with one writing: "On a knee-jerk reaction this feels like it’s gonna be too short. Like it didn’t need to be 3 hours but 2:15-2:30 always feels like enough."

And while we love a short but sweet film, seeing some of the deleted scenes is making us think it should've been longer.

You can't have too much of a good thing, right?
