Read the description for the Guardians of the Galaxy alternate ending!

The ending of Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy gave fans a hero montage to the song "Aint No Mountain High Enough" but it seems that that montage was ooriginallysupposed to be a little different.

Director James Gunn did an interview at a press event where he revealed three characters who were supposed to be in the montage and were removed. Gunn explains what the montage would have shown as well as why the scene was cut. The characters in question include Nebula (Karen Gillan), The Collector (Benicio Del Toro), and Grandpa Quill (Gregg Henry).

"“There are three characters that got cut out [of the ‘Ain't No Mountain High Enough’ montage]: Nebula, the Collector and Grandpa Quill. Nebula and Collector we decided, at a certain point, they’re kind of bad guys in the first movie. It was a real joyous experience with that finale so we thought we’d keep it to the characters that were part of ‘the good team.’ Which includes Yondu. He did fight on the good guys side. So we thought we would keep it to them. 

“Grandpa Quill we cut because he was in old age make up and we were a little afraid people wouldn’t recognize that it was him from the beginning of the movie. And also, it was a pretty sad moment. It was Grandpa Quill and he has this photograph of Meredith and Peter as a little boy and he looks up at the stars and we go up to the stars and it was really sweet. It means that he must have seen Quill getting abducted at the end of that day and is still waiting for him to return but it was freaking sad so we took it out. 

“Nebula’s was actually my favorite. Nebula’s I really liked a lot because she’s lost her arm and she’s just pissed off and she’s just walking through this field all pissed off with a busted Ravager vehicle behind her. And she’s just pissed off and I loved it.”"

Both of those scenes seem really cool and I would have loved to have seen more of Gillan's Nebula. The scene for The Collector wound up being the end credit scene with Howard the Duck. Interesting to note that Nebula and the Collector are said to be "bad guys" in the first film which suggests they may not be in the sequel. Would you have wanted to see these scenes in the film? If not in the hero montage then perhaps another way?
