Captain America: Civil War Deleted Scene Featuring Black Panther And Black Widow

A newly released deleted scene from Captain America: Civil War features a core member of the Avengers and one of the newcomer heroes to the franchise who made their debut in the film.

Scarlett Johansson's Natasha Romanov (better known as Black Widow) sits alone with Chadwick Boseman's newly introduced T'Challa (better known as Black Panther) at the German Ops Center which was serving as a headquarters during the film. The scene would have been inserted to the film shortly after Black Panther was arrested after his pursuit of Captain America and Bucky.

"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," Joe Russo told ComicBook.com at a press event for Captain America: Civil War. "Cap and Falcon had been isolated in the other conference room. We didn't feel like it was moving the story telling forward and they had already had a scene so it felt repetitive so it was something we excised from the movie."

Ultimately, the scene would not have had much of an impact on the grander scheme of Civil War and has a very similar feel to Black Widow's interrogation of Loki in The Avengers. However, that scene was crucial as it revealed Loki's plan to unleash the Hulk and tear apart the Avengers from the inside. In Civil War's case, Natasha's interrogation of Black Panther results in a touch more depth for the characters.

Captain America: Civil War is available on blu-ray and DVD on September 13. If you can't wait that long, it will be available for digital download on September 2.
