Young star Lexi Rabe took to her Instagram over this past weekend (December 19th, 2021) to post some photographs from the red carpet premiere of Spider-Man: No Way Home. It’s not the pictures that fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) were focused on however, but instead the caption that Rabe included…
"I absolutely love this movie", she wrote, before adding, "even though my part (studio asked to use my image) got cut”. This of course begs the question, exactly how was Rabe - who plays Tony Stark’s daughter Morgan in the MCU - going to be included in No Way Home?
Though she says that Marvel Studios simply asked to use her image in the feature, Rabe was spotted in Atlanta during the time the movie was filming in the same location, so there is also the chance that she was brought in to create some new scenes. Whether those will ever see the light of day - perhaps in the form of DVD or Blu-ray extras - remains to be seen.
Fortunately, we do know that Morgan is still an integral part of the MCU, as we see her drawings in Happy Hogan's (Jon Favreau) apartment. Though Tony fell victim to the final battle in Avengers: Endgame, his friends will ensure that the loved ones he left behind are well looked after.
It's also worth noting that Rabe says in the Instagram caption that she is hoping "to start filming again soon”. Whether that is for the looming TV series Armor Wars which is based on an Iron Man story arc from the comic books, or another project altogether, isn’t something we can work out just yet.
Rabe has what looks to be a shining career ahead of her. Following her appearance in Endgame, she took up roles in Godzilla: King of the Monsters as well as the Stargirl TV series and the film Silk Road. We'll also see her take the lead in upcoming movie Wishes, currently in pre-production.
Marvel Studios had better move quickly if they want to keep her around for the foreseeable!
