One of the most touching moments that fans of the universe The Marvel movies they will remember for a long time is surely the death of Black WidowDuring Avengers: Endgame. In the scene the heroine, played by Scarlett Johansson, scarifies himself to obtain the soul gem, which will then be recovered by Hawkeye. However, the original scene should have been much more brutal than the one seen on the big screen. The moment in question was originally much longer and more complex than that seen by viewers, and shows a totally different view of the directors in this decisive scene. The alternate version of the character's death was made public on Twitter and is visible to all.

As explained by the editor Matthew Schmidt, in this version the two heroes find themselves in the middle of the battle against Thanos' army. Black Widow she decides to sacrifice herself by being repeatedly hit by the enemy's weapons. Obviously this version would have been much more scenic and touching for the viewers. In the scene that instead arrived in the halls, once they became aware of how to obtain the gem, the two fight each other to decide who will have to sacrifice themselves. Dialogues proposed to give depth were preferred to the original scenographic silence, but with the use of a decidedly different cut than the original one.
The actress in question had previously explained that the original version could have traumatized children. The directors then decided to cut it seeing that Avengers: Endgame it already contained enough epic scenes.
