Watch the Norn Cave Deleted Scene From Avengers: Age of Ultron
You can excuse director Joss Whedon for having to leave quite a bit on the cutting room floor considering how much ground (and sky, and space) he had to cover in Avengers: Age of Ultron. One of the scenes that didn't make it into the film was this extended look at the Norn Cave that Marvel has ...
