Zak Penn may have retained a writing credit when the movie came to theaters in the summer of 2012, but Joss Whedon was always vocal when it came to reiterating that he’d torn the screenplay for The Avengers apart and then rebuilt it from the ground up.

As is always the case when it comes to something as ambitious as the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s first all-star epic, the story was in a constant state of revision. Not only did the trajectory of the Iron Man franchise ultimately see Obadiah Stane’s son Zeke dropped as a potential antagonist for the team, but Whedon’s desire to cast Zooey Deschanel as Wasp informed a great deal of his writing process.
