For a lot of people, 2012's Avengers Assemble was their first step into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, introducing them to Iron Man, Captain America, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Hulk and Thor. Over the course of the film, we see these characters' friendships tested to the max as the team fight to save New York from an alien invasion.

One moment that has always made Marvel fanboys smile is the scene that plays during the closing credits of the movie. I'm not talking about the introduction of Thanos, I'm talking about a scene where some of Hollywood's most famous actors do nothing but eating shawarma. The scene plays for laughs as we watch our heroes chill out after an epic battle by eating junk food in complete silence.

In the original cut of the film, there was no shawarma at all. This whole scene was reshot after the movie was completed. One way of noticing this is by looking at Chris Evans who plays Captain America. Notice how he is resting his hand on his face the whole time? Well, that's because the actor had to grow a beard for another role he was starring in and they had to plaster his face with makeup and prosthetics to cover his fuzz.
