Jimmy Kimmel harasses Batman and Superman in this ‘deleted scene’ from Dawn of Justice

Deleted Scene from "Batman v Superman” Starring Jimmy Kimmel
If you’re among the many fans who are excited to see The Caped Crusader take on The Man of Steel in the upcoming Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, we’ve got something special for you: A sneak peak at a deleted scene from the movie.

Okay, so that’s a bit misleading. This isn’t so much a deleted scene as a … re-imagined scene. Allow us to explain.

As reported by ScreenCrush, Ben Affleck appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night for the After The Oscars special and jokingly discussed a fictional scene from the movie with the late-night host, a scene that starred Kimmel himself. Unfortunately, according to Affleck, “the movie was a hair long” and the scene needed to be cut. Apparently, Kimmel was too good in his cameo, and producers were concerned that moviegoers would spend the rest of the film awaiting his return, rather than focusing on the rest of the action.

The mock scene (embedded above) is patterned after a scene in which Bruce Wayne (Affleck) and Clark Kent (Henry Cavill) are introduced at one of Lex Luthor’s parties, but was re-created from the ground up so that Kimmel could get in on the action. At first, the late-night host merely strolls by, as the superheroes’ civilian alter-egos are busy having an icy exchange, but he soon inserts himself into the conversation. Before long, he has loudly (and repeatedly) outed the two men as Batman and Superman respectively.

Eventually, both heroes have had enough and Cavill makes good on his threat to throw Kimmel off the planet. After hurtling through space as a fast as a speeding bullet, the host crashes headlong into Mars … where he meets Astronaut Mark Watney (AKA – Matt Damon).

Kimmel, of course, has a long-standing friendship with both Damon and Affleck and, throughout the years, the actors have been the subject of several of his gags.That said, this is definitely worth a watch for fans of the trio.

Either way, you’ll be able to catch the Kimmel-free version of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice in theaters starting March 25, 2016.

Kevin Feige hopes fans accept Anthony Mackie as Cap after Brave New World
Anthony Mackie as Captain America in Captain America: Brave New World.

Anthony Mackie has been a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe since Captain America: The Winter Soldier in 2014. Marvel Studios has also been setting up Mackie's character, Sam Wilson aka The Falcon, to be the new Captain America since the end of Avengers: Endgame in 2019. Nearly six years later, Mackie will return to the big screen in Captain America: Brave New World as the new face of that particular franchise. And Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige is hopeful that fans will fully accept Mackie as the new Cap after that film.

Via GamesRadar+, Feige recently attended a press conference for Brave New World where he shared his thoughts about cementing the idea that Sam Wilson is the right man to carry on the legacy of the first Captain America, Steve Rogers (Chris Evans).

The 7 best Star Wars droids, ranked
BB-8 rolls across the desert in Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

Droids may be second-class citizens in the Star Wars universe, but they're also some of the most important characters in the entire franchise. There's hardly a hero in the lore of Star Wars who isn't accompanied by a droid best friend. That trend continues even in recent video games like Star Wars Outlaws and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. The irony is that many droids are treated like slaves, and there's yet to be a droid uprising where they fight for equal rights as sentient beings. L3-37 tried to change that in Solo: A Star Wars Story, and it really didn't work out for her.
Nevertheless, droids are vital to the galaxy's way of life, and it just wouldn't be Star Wars without them. For now, we're paying homage to the 7 best Star Wars droids and pulling from all of the ancillary media, movies, and TV shows to put this list together. Only our pick for No. 7 on this list originated in a comic book.
