Naomi Scott on Getting Cut Out of The Martian and Why It’s OK to Choke

Did you know Naomi Scott is in The Martian? No? I didn’t either - not until I started preparing for her episode of Collider Ladies Night and came across a clip of her discussing the movie on Jimmy Kimmel Live. Turns out, she had a small role in 2015 box office hit and Academy Award nominee, but the scene that would feature her most heavily wound up being cut from the film.

Things like that happen all the time, but one has to image it’d be a huge bummer to get cut from a Ridley Scott movie, especially considering The Martian was one of Scott’s first big Hollywood gigs. She’d go on to make a huge impression in 2017’s Power Rangers and wow the world in the live-action Aladdin movie, but appearing in both The 33 and The Martian in one year? That could have been an excited start to Scott’s run in the feature film realm.

If you’ve watched any episode of Collider Ladies Night, you probably know I do like talking about bumps in the road to put the focus on how filmmakers overcame them and, sure enough, Scott didn’t disappoint in that department.

Check out what she said about her experience with The Martian in this clip from Collider Ladies Night!
