Even if you know your Jabbas from your Jawas, a recently-revealed Spider-Man: Far From Home deleted scene might stump all but the most brainy of fans when it comes to a galaxy far, far away. Tom Holland has even lifted the lid on another scene from Spider-Man: Far From Home that was left on the cutting room floor ā one that was already featured in a trailer for the Spidey sequel.
āThere was a scene that was cut from the film where Peter Parker went and sold all his toys to get the money in order to buy MJ a present,” Holland tells Uproxx. āAnd one of the toys, it was Kevin Feige, he said, āI need this toy to be in there.ā I forget what itās called, but itās a really niche Star Wars character and then I end up not selling that toy.”
Itās heartening to know that even the boss man, Kevin Feige, doesnāt get to always pull in-jokes at the drop of a hat.
As for the Star Wars character featured in the Spider-Man: Far From Home deleted scene, Uproxx reached out to Feige who confirmed it was Lobot, the administrator of Cloud City (and Landoās right-hand man) in The Empire Strikes Back. Not the most unknown of characters ā but Iād bet youād be hard-pressed to name him in a line-up of Star Warsā best and brightest.
Elsewhere, Holland also spilled the beans on another Spider-Man: Far From Home deleted scene. Itās one weāve already seen before, too. During the post-Endgame Spider-Man: Far From Home trailer, the webhead can be seen taking down several Uzi-toting baddies in a restaurant, then being asked by the NYPD if heās the new Iron Man. Spoiler: Itās not in the movie.
Why was it cut? āI just didnāt think we needed one more [action scene]” according to the Spider-Man actor.
So, no Russo-style trickery here. Just a Spider-Man: Far From Home deleted scene featuring a kid who didnāt want to sell all his toys and a ridiculously cool-sounding Spider-Man beatdown against some generic thugs. Bring on the Blu-ray.
Here are some of the new Marvel movies you should be looking forward to in the coming years.
