As smoothly controlled as the Marvel Cinematic Universe seems to be, even the simplest movies in the franchise are created amid a great deal of creative tinkering and re-jigging.

Kevin Feige and co. may make it all seem so easy these days, but the MCU releases nothing without an absurd amount of effort put into its conception.

As such it's not remotely surprising that even the most basic scene can go through countless iterations, in writing, shooting and editing, before arriving at the final version seen on cinema screens worldwide.
