For a variety of reasons, scenes are deleted from movies and TV series. Whatever that reason, the scene was not good enough to advance from the writers to the actors to the cameras. At many times, these scenes give a more detailed exposition of a plot point, or just add an "Easter egg" to be enjoyed. Since they provide additional plot points or exposition, deleted scenes are considered as valid as the released ones from an in-universe point of view, unless they are contradicted in the published scenes of a movie or episode.
The following is a list of the deleted scenes from various movies and television series in the Marvel Cinematic Universe:
