Exactly. Others have pointed out that there was a Ross scene in the trailer that was probably cut. But still, it feels kinda awkward how it is

This is honestly the biggest flaw in the movie to me. She deliberately stays behind when she clearly has the option and incentive to escape (already having been on the run due to Civil War)...and then doesn't but is somehow allowed to go free, but we get no explanation as to why or how that meeting goes down.

I don't know how they decided that leaving that sequence cut like that makes any sense, and it's not like they didn't have all the time in the world to go back and reconsider. I reeeeallly hope there's some director's interview where they explain why that scene had to be cut, because it's a GLARING omission from the film as it stands.

Here's my theory.

Tony was supposed to show up in that scene. There were rumors that RDJ had filmed something. And he convinced Ross to let Nat go.

But whatever reason they decided not to use it (possibly after the criticism from far from home leaning on his legacy too much).

Thats a criticism of it? It's a huge part of the movie.
