An extended scene from “Captain Marvel” showing the hero intimidating a male biker has drawn criticism for what some describe as its overly feminist message.

In the scene cut from the 2019 addition to the “Avengers” superhero franchise, the biker, portrayed by Robert Kazinsky, approaches Brie Larson’s character as she’s looking at a map, asking her if she needs a ride. He tries to flirt with her and asks her to smile because, as he’s offering her help, “the least you could do is give me a smile.”
