I think it's already safe to say that Marvel Studios' upcoming theatrical offering Thor: Love and Thunder might have just assembled the biggest ensemble of characters we've seen since Avengers: Endgame — from Thor, Jane Foster, and Valkyrie all the way to the Guardians of the Galaxy.

Well, boasting a massive and stellar cast isn't always a good thing because as it turns out, the sequel's stacked cast ultimately forced the studio to cut some scenes from the final cut of the film which would've featured major cameo appearances.

In an interview with Prensa Escenario (via ComicBook), Christian Bale, who plays Gorr the God Butcher in the film revealed that Marvel Studios cut two cameo sequences from returning characters Eitri and the Grandmaster.

According to Bale, both cut sequences would've also featured his menacing villain. He said: "I got to work with Peter Dinklage, that's not in the final film, but he's fantastic. I got to work with Jeff Goldblum, he's not in the final film either. As you see, a lot of stuff ends up on the cutting room floor even though it is beautiful brilliant stuff."

Now, Bale didn't exactly specify whether or not the two actors were removed completely from the final cut but if that's the case, then it's a major shame, especially considering a character like Eitri might have played a major part in reforging Thor's Mjolnir which is now wielded by Jane Foster. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Thor: Love and Thunder is slated for release on July 8, 2022.
