But as part of Disney's new streaming service, a deleted scene sees Tony meet his grown up daughter Morgan - played by 13 Reasons Why actress Katherine Langford - in a version of an afterlife.

But directors Anthony and Joe Russo admitted they cut the emotional moment in case it “ground the movie to a halt”.

They added: "We felt it ground the movie to a halt and we felt he did something similar in the next sequence when he gives his own eulogy.

"What can happen in a film this big is you can have ending after ending after ending and it starts to feel like the movie's never going to end.

"When you have too many [ending] sequences in a row, you can dilute the value of each one of them."

In the scene, called 'Tony at the Way Station', Tony admitted to Morgan that putting on the Infinity Gauntlet " could have been a "bad decision”, telling his daughter: "I’m scared I made a mistake."

But Morgan told her father she got to grow up because of his decision, ahd she was proud of him.

She replies: "I know. And I know it’s going to be tough for you to let go, but if someone had to do that so the rest of us could [live]... I’m proud of you... I love you 3,000.”

Another deleted scene which has been released on Disney+ offers an alternate version of the final battle, with all of the Marvel superheroes coming together to discuss how to take down Thanos once and for all.

Anthony explained: "We ended up abandoning it as a building block, as a corner stone of the climax of the film for many reasons."

Joe added: "A lot of the reshoots and energy on Marvel films goes into either addressing plot issues that people don't understand that we discover in an exhaustive test screening that we do and the other place is in these giant third act battles.

"You're always gonna find some point that in that battle that you can do better with or it can be vacuum sealed and shrunk.

"We had this idea that we would pause the battle for all of the characters to get together to talk with one another but once we started executing it in the edit room, we found that was not an interesting way to go. It seemed contrived."
