Avengers: Infinity War
harmonize to writer Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely , Avengers : Infinity Waralmost showedCaptain Americaeating bloody mashed potatoes . After the fallout between Steve Rogers and Tony Stark / Iron Man inCaptain America : Civil War , the Super Soldier and his allies were forced to mesh underground as the political science had dubbed them vigilantes . It was n’t until the menace of Thanos became imminent that he emerged to get together with the rest of MCU to arrest the brainsick Titan .
Captain America spent most of his two age in hiding carrying out covert operations , as revealed inthe draw - in comical book forInfinity War . However , most of his adventures during that prison term did n’t have any link with the larger MCU . By the timeInfinity Warcaught up with them , Cap and his crew were trying to helpWanda Maximoff ( Elizabeth Olsen ) and Vision ( Paul Bettany ) , after they were ambuscade by Black Order members Corvus Glaive and Proxima Midnight during their hunt for the Mind Stone . Interestingly , though , the film ’s conductor Joe and Anthony Russo , as well as Markus and McFeely , originally considered showing viewers what Cap and the others had been up to before the Thanos crisis began .

There was an early version ofInfinity War , plain , that even showed Captain America , Black Widow ( Scarlett Johansson ) , and Falcon ( Anthony Mackie ) fresh off one of their missions . Markus and McFeely toldIGNthe particular of the cut panorama , which involve Rogers eating mashed potatoes - incognizant that he was dripping stemma on them .
“ There was one aspect , it was in Infinity War . We wrote it , we did n’t buck it . It was part and package of a whole affair where we realized we were pick up the role too early in their bow before Thanos had bugger off to them . It was a fit of basically Widow and Falcon and Cap in hiding post - polite War and they ’d just been through a vainglorious fight with crook , and Cap was eating mashed spud , and Falcon says “ You ’re bleeding into your mashed tater . ” He seem at him like … yeah he is bleeding into his mashed potatoes . I think back Kevin [ Feige ] going “ He ’s run into his mashed white potato ? ! I do n’t want to see that ! ” Yeah , peradventure we operate a niggling too … something . ”
While it would ’ve been coolheaded to see Captain America , Black Widow and Falconduring their Secret Avengers days , this second was in spades too much to show . It does emphasize the idea that Rogers , like always , was so keen on receive his missions done that he ’d often forget the physical toll these operations were taking on him . ButInfinity Warcould’ve effectively express the same theme without this particularly unpleasant visual . In hindsight , it was the right call to trash this estimate and go on with what ended up in the movie ’s theatrical cut , rather .
Still , had the Russos , Markus , and McFeely pushed forward with this scene after all , it might ’ve been interesting to seehow it changed the overarching narration structureofAvengers : Infinity War . As the writers sound out , it was too former in the two - year gap to include , which means either they were planning on pick up with that scene before jumping to the movie ’s ominous opening , or the moving-picture show ’s overall timeline was different betimes on in development . In any case , it ’s probably for the good this did n’t make it in .
