Men in Black: International's Tessa Thompson has revealed a brilliant moment that sadly didn't make the final cut.
Thompson reunited with her Thor co-star Chris Hemsworth on the new Men in Black sequel, and they were allowed to improv during the filming, although one inspired moment wasn't allowed to stay.
"There was a scene where we were both in danger of being neuralyzed and I talk about the organisation's love of neuralyzing and I say they're like Oprah with the neuralyzer. 'You get neuralyzed, you get neuralyzed, you get neuralyzed'," Thompson told Digital Spy.

"I don't think it's in the movie. For weeks, people were like, 'That improv…' and I was like, 'See you in the cinema' and then I don't think it's in there."
Hemsworth also had a favourite scene that didn't make the final version. "I neuralyzed myself in the movie and they cut that," he said, with Thompson joking: "They neuralyzed the public to our brilliance."
He added that sometimes the improv on set could end up feeling "indulgent, like a drama class or something, competing for lines".
"We'd shoot the script always and then at the end of each set-up, he'd let us have a couple of takes and we could go mad. He stuck with it the whole shoot. Sometimes, it's really good and it works and then a lot of the time it doesn't and it's chaotic," Hemsworth explained.
Thompson continued: "It's a testament to him that he let us continue to do that because sometimes it was not good and sometimes it went on for a very long time."
Men in Black: International is released in cinemas on June 14.
