The events at the end of The Avengers is still playing a major role in the shaping of the MCU - and not just in Daredevil's Hell's Kitchen.

When the Avengers return back to Stark's new Avengers Tower, there's a swooping shot over New York that reveals a memorial statue to those who fell in the battle - as well as the firefighters who struggled to save the city.

There's very much a feel that Marvel have learned from Man Of Steel in investigating the human cost of superhero battles: not only in New York, but also in South Africa, Sokovia and Korea. Expect that to be the foundation on which the Civil War story is built.
