9. "It Is Of The Six, The Infinite Six." – Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015)
Thor's journey in Avengers: Age of Ultron has a deleted scene where the Norns possess him. They drop that killer line: "It is of the six, the Infinite six," making that first ever clear and obvious reference toward the Infinity Stones! This really should've been in the movie because that particular scene added a major point: clarity surrounding those incredibly complex mystical and supernatural elements that were still relatively unexplained earlier in the saga. This greatly increases its context within the later saga’s overall direction.
8. "Power Comes From the Heart." – Thor: Love and Thunder (2022)
Zeus (a new character in Thor: Love and Thunder) gets a deleted scene that makes him so much better!

7. "I'm Giving the People What They Want." – Thor: The Dark World (2013)
Thor: The Dark World didn't knock everyone's socks off, but this one really shines; A deleted scene reveals Loki's coronation in Asgard— only to show it as a fantasy in his imprisonment!

6. "Don't Mistake It For Kindness." – Iron Man (2008)
Iron Man (which launched the entire MCU) features Tony Stark's heroic transformation. This transformation is highlighted here; A deleted scene showing him seemingly saving Obadiah Stane after that intense showdown.

It demonstrates just how witty he can be in such intensely stressful and unexpected circumstances that perfectly demonstrated what that particular character truly feels. A witty yet romantic response really enhances this scene and is missed from the theatrical version.
1. "It's Been a Long Time Since I Felt a Light About Anything." – The Incredible Hulk (2008)
