Iron Man: Marvel didn’t keep this daring scene with Robert Downey Jr.

If the Marvel movies are mainly aimed at family audiences, however, there are exceptions in the stable. In this case, the films were rated “R” in the United States. or “restricted,” meaning minors under 17 must be accompanied by an adult to view the work. This applies to ultra-violent scenes, vulgar dialogues full of “fuk” and more or less “soft” sex scenes. Deadpool and Logan received this classification.

Certain scenes left on the editing table would certainly have relegated their work to an “R” rating. Like this scene from Iron Man for example; The early stages and foundation stone of the MCU is still very much in the making and was a risky bet at the time.

Tony prepares for a wild evening

The scene in question, which lasts 3’37, revolves around the unbridled sexuality of Tony Stark, a genius inventor, arms dealer and billionaire playboy. At a party in Dubai, Tony spies two bikini-clad women and starts a “I was thinking of choosing a number from 1 to 5!” – “Three!” The two young women answer in unison. “Exactly!” Stark jumped.

He walks up to them holding hands and suggests they’re going to have a threesome, Pepper Potts looks on. Along the way, he picks up a third woman who talks to a man in the hallway while the camera follows them into their bedroom.

Before things can go any further, Tony calls and has to leave. “Why don’t you start without me?” He told the girls as he left the room. “Bad!” One of them answers.

We are talking about the stage…

While there’s no shortage of sexual references in the MCU films, the sexually explicit scene was far superior to anything in a Marvel film. Certainly too much for Jon Favreau and his team, who chose to cut it.
