>Marvel never planned for Captain America and Black Widow to be romantically involved, but a relationship between her and Hawkeye was planned. Whedon fought against it because he wanted to show that men and women can be great friends without having sex.

>Whedon and the studio had the idea to pair up Banner and the Black Widow after their scene in the hut in "The Avengers". Whedon also had Banner toy with a craddle in thar scene in reference to his inability to have children, which he thought was interesting concept.

>Whedon teased several times that Hawkeye would die to make Quicksilver's death more surprising.

>There's an alternative version of the bedroom scene in which Banner rejects Black Widow, and an alternative version of her bringing out the Hulk that was cut because it was cool, but didn't fit the narrative.

>Whedon decided to kill one of the Twins because he believed killing a young character would be more striking, and he chose Quicksilver because he didn't want to kill the only other female superhero in the movie.

>Whedon tried to keep Quicksilver's death a surprise by announcing Aaron Taylor-Johnson had a three-picture contract and preventing Jeremy Renner from mentioning being in "Civil War", but that didn't work out.

>There are deleted scenes with a subplot about Hawkeye building a tool shed that he never finishes because he's always off with the Avengers.

>There are deleted scenes highliting Quicksilver's womanizing exploits.

>In the original cut, the pool that Thor and Erik Selvig locate is a way to speak with the Norms. Thor goes into the pool and is possessed by them, allowing Selvig to question them about Thor's visions, with them responding through Thor, but is was not well-received by test-audiences.

>Originally, Thor would have two visions, with the second one being him conversing with Loki in a burning Asgard.

>There's an alternative ending where Quicksilver survives the barrage of bullets and recovers with Dr. Cho's medical technology, and later joins the New Avengers aloingside Wanda in a new uniform.

>Marvel Studios executives didn't want to include the team's visions and Hawkeye's farm. The latter was once left in when Whedon agreed to cut the cave subplot to the mininal requirement to move the plot along.

>Whedon originally planned for Captain Marvel and Spider-Man to be part of the New Avengers, but agreements couldn't be made in time, and when both became available, it was too late to reshoot the scene.

>Marvel and Sony discussing integrating "The Amazing Spider-Man" to the MCU by featuring OsCorp Tower on the New York City skyline in "The Avengers", but agreements couldn't be reached in time.

>Whedon regrets not having a longer final cut so the movie could breathe a little more, and feels he overstuffed it a bit.

>Whedon wanted the Avengers to go to Sokovia still at odds with each other, and only truly come together in the church, and felt that Vision proving himself by lifting Mjolnir was the best way to explain why they'd let him accompany them.

>The final battle was reworked several times, and entire action sequences and combos were cut and rearranged.

>Stark using his neural patterns to program Ultron despite Banner's warning against it, and admitting that Ultron's viewpoints on humanity being a threat to Earth being a extremist version of his own.

>The Twins helping people throughout Sokovia, stealing food to distribute to the poor, fixing damaged buildings, etc. Eventually, a little boy warns them that the "Iron Man" is waiting for them at the church. They get there and find Ultron.

>Ultron crafting a new body for himself.

>Banner and Widow breaking out of Ultron's lair together, with Widow using several weapons from Strucker's cache.

>Hawkeye mentoring Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch, including an earlier draft of the fight in which they're alone together facing off drones, with Hawkeye teaching them to better use their powers to disable them.

>Earlier drafts apparently had an all-out fight between Thor and Vision in which Vision lifts the hammer and hits Thor with it.

>In early drafts Ultron would break the Abomination out of jail and recruit him to his army.

>Johnson suggested that Quicksilver do superspeed parkour, but Whedon shot it down.

>Saoirse Ronan was heavily pursued to play the Scarlet Witch before Elizabeth Olsen was cast.

>Stark calls the Twins "Flowers in the Attic", and they don't understand the reference. Wanda says it sounds lovely, Hawkeye quips "trust me, it isn't".
