The 'Fantastic Four' controversy has brought in a cloud of rumors and allegations for the movie's poor performance, however the one thing that is agreed on is the fact that it is indeed a failed film.

Fingers have been pointed at the studio's meddling and the director's poor vision, bringing to light that there were many scenes that were ultimately cut or reshot.

One specific deleted action scene has been revealed by many members involved in the movie's production, and it was meant to take place right after the scene where the characters received their powers.

It's depicted as a fairly action-packed scene where The Thing is used as a government weapon.

Here's the description as written by EW:

As The Thing lurches into view, bullets spark and ping off his impenetrable exterior.

Rather than some elegant, balletic action sequence, The Thing moves slowly and deliberately. He's in no hurry. The storytelling goal was to show the futility of firepower against him as he casually demolishes the terrorists. It's a blue-collar kind of heroism.

When it becomes clear this rock-beast cannot be stopped, the surviving Chechen rebels make a run for it - and that's when a hail of gunfire finishes them off.

From the shadows of the surrounding forest, a team of Navy SEALS emerge with their guns drawn and smoking. The cavalry has arrived, but the enemy has already been subdued.

The film would then have shifted to a bird's-eye view of the camp, an aerial shot showing waves of American soldiers flooding in to secure the base. Just when it appears the American soldiers may be ready to clash with the rock monster, The Thing gives them a solemn nod, and they clear a path. He lumbers past them, almost sadly, a heartsick warrior. Then he boards a large helicopter and is lifted away.
