Marvel recently dropped a deleted scene from Thor: Love and Thunder. The clip, which was published by People Magazine on September 2, 2022, shows Jane and Thor in a very emotional moment at the hospital. Amidst this, Thor suddenly realizes that there's someone hiding behind the curtain. This person turns out to be Zeus (Russell Crowe).
However, the scene portrays Zeus in a very different light. Unlike in the final cut, here Zeus seems moved by Thor and Jane's plight and offers to help.
Fans on Twitter weren't impressed with the scene, with many pointing out that it didn't make sense. One user mentioned that they were ''glad the scene was deleted'' and compared it to another scene involving Drax in Avengers: Infinity War.
