Black Widow's death was supposed to feature "more aliens" in Avengers: Endgame, according to Hawkeye actor Jeremy Renner, but it was thankfully reshot to be "much simpler": "It was real enough for us to feel it"

"It's a very different scene. There's much more galactic and more aliens and there's a lot more stuff going on"

Hawkeye actor Jeremy Renner says that Black Widow's death scene in Avengers: Endgame was very different from the gut-wrenching version that made it into the final film. Speaking in a panel at Spacecon (via Popverse), Renner elaborated on what the original version of the scene entailed, and it sounds like it would have been a more straightforward superhero battle against "aliens."

"We shot the scene, but that scene is not in the movie," Renner explains. "It's a very different scene. There's much more galactic and more aliens and there's a lot more stuff going on. And then we reshot it to make it much simpler to the scene that's in the movie now."

The Avengers will next assemble in Avengers: Doomsday on December 18, 2026, though it seems like Clint Barton isn't in the movie – at least that we know of. In the meantime, stay up to date on all the upcoming Marvel movies and shows that are currently in the works.
