10. The End Credit Tags Are Rarely Planned

The same thing happened with Thor: The Dark World; the movie was being shot at the same time as Guardians Of The Galaxy, so Marvel decided to use a scene with The Collector to tie the films together. The most famous tag - the Shawarma scene at the end of The Avengers - was an added moment that was born out of a Robert Downey, Jr. improvisation.
