‘Avengers: Infinity War’ Almost Featured Bloody Potatoes

When writing any script, there’s always a lot of ideas left on the editing floor before being filmed. Some scenes just won’t work with the flow of the film, but some could. One such scene from Avengers: Infinity War involves a Patriot and bloody mashed potatoes.

In a recent interview with IGN, Endgame and Infinity War writers Stephen McFeely and Christopher Marcus talk about a particular scene that almost made it into Avengers: IW. The writers both agreed, maybe they went a bit too far: 

“There was one scene, it was in Infinity War, We wrote it, we didn’t shoot it. It was part and parcel of a whole thing where we realized we were picking up the characters too early in their arc before Thanos had gotten to them.

It was a scene of basically Widow and Falcon and Cap in hiding post-Civil War and they’d just been through a big fight with criminals, and Cap was eating mashed potatoes, and Falcon says, ‘You’re bleeding into your mashed potatoes.”

“He looks at him like…yeah he is bleeding into his mashed potatoes. I remember Kevin [Feige] going, ‘He’s bleeding into his mashed potatoes?! I don’t want to see that!’ Yeah, maybe we went a little too…something.”

It really would’ve been an interesting scene, but with Infinity War being so full of action, I can see how they decided to pull the scene. I don’t think that it really went too far, but it definitely would’ve been one of the darker jokes in the MCU.
