In the days of the future past, Wolverine and Storm have a scene deleted from the original cut. The scene is about them realizing their futures getting altered and them sealing their hints of affection towards each other with a kiss.

Loki in Age of Ultron

In Thor’s enigmatic pool scene, he was supposed to get a dream about Loki in Asgard masquerading as Odin. This wouldn’t have necessarily ruined Avengers: Age of Ultron, but it could have threatened a scene in Thor: Ragnarök. If this scene had been included in the film, it would mean Thor would have known Odin wasn’t Odin upon his return to Asgard and we would have been robbed of Anthony Hopkin’s delightfully hammy Loki-as-Odin performance.

Quicksilver resuscitates

In the movie Age of Ultron Joss Whedon come us with a contingency plan for Quicksilver. He shot a scene where Quicksilver rejoins the Avengers after getting riddled with bullet holes from the Quinn jet and his bodily quickly healing itself back to recovery because of his ability to go fast. But, this cut never made the end because the directors wanted the audience to believe that the threat the heroes face is real in the MCU and also it would not have set up a good plot for the WandaVision series.

Peter’s father returns

In ‘The Amazing Spider-Man 2’, whilst peter grieved the loss of Gwen Stacy, peter’s father is seen making his entry to give him a pep talk on the whole “With great power….” thing. But towards the end, the directors decided not to include this scene as it would corrode the movie with multiple plots and end up confusing the audience.

Norman Osborn’s head

Norman Osborn made a brief appearance in ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ before dying off-screen. Sony was planning on his return, which is why a deleted scene displaying Norman Osborn’s severed head in a cryogenic state was to be shown in the post-credits scenes of the movie. Eventually promising a return of the long-awaited Sinister Six.
