A Captain America Vs Black Widow Fight Was Cut From Civil War
Captain America: Civil War originally featured a fight between Steve Rogers and Black Widow that was filmed but never made it into the movie’s final cut. Civil War sees Chris Evans' Cap clashing with Robert Downey Jr.'s Tony Stark/Iron Man over an ethical quandary when a botched Avengers mission leads to the loss of civilian lives. Factions are formed and moral lines are drawn as the Earth's Mightiest Heroes choose between registering with the world's governments or retiring.
On opposite sides of those lines are Captain America and Scarlett Johansson’s Natasha Romanov/Black Widow. Cap is staunchly opposed to the prospect of being a team of government puppets, while Natasha argues that they'd at least still be able to do some good by accepting the terms. The friction between the pro and anti-registration camps eventually escalates into an all-out brawl at a German airport that pits Avenger against Avenger. Black Widow begins the fight on Tony's pro-registration side, however, as the chaos dies down, she has a change of heart and helps Steve escape. But apparently the two were originally supposed to go toe-to-toe first.

One of those pairings was between Nat and Cap. According to Young, they
