* IKnewIt:
** Everett Ross was the most popular guess for Creator/MartinFreeman's character since it was announced he would have a part in the film, long before his character was confirmed.
** [[spoiler:Black Widow helping Cap]]. It was such an obvious move given that, not only [[spoiler:[[Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier has she worked with Steve more]],]] but that even in the comics, [[spoiler:she only sided with Tony AFTER the war was won]].
** Bucky [[spoiler:killing Howard and Maria Stark]], to the point that many, ''many'' people didn't even know it was supposed to be a reveal; it was kinda just assumed after the montage Zola showed in ''The Winter Soldier'' and soon became an extremely popular Fanon theory.

** The meddling done by the Marvel Creative Committee[[note]]including people like notorious CEO Ike Perlmutter and Creator/BrianMichaelBendis[[/note]] caused so much tension in the MCU (such as Creator/EdgarWright leaving ''Film/AntMan1'' and Creator/JossWhedon becoming disillusioned with Marvel after ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron'') that Disney stepped in and split Marvel apart so that Marvel Studios became a separate entity. Kevin Feige, the man who brought the setting together, now officially had the producer's equivalent to an AuteurLicense. As a sign of just how welcome the change was, Creator/JossWhedon said he was willing to return to the MCU and Creator/ChrisEvans was willing to consider extending his contract (he was previously set on leaving the role due to Ike Perlmutter's constant interference and penny-pinching).

** For the Latin dub, Creator/JuanCarlosTinoco does not reprise the part of Thaddeus Ross, after having dubbed him in ''Film/TheIncredibleHulk2008'', since he was cast to voice Thanos from ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'' onward. Due to this change, Oscar Gomez was chosen as Tinoco's replacement for Ross.

* AbsurdlyShortProductionTime: Spider-Man's involvement wasn't a done deal until one week before production was supposed to start, forcing hasty edits to the script and a re-choreographing of the airport battle. The climactic silo fight, meanwhile, was choreographed 20 minutes before cameras were supposed to roll because a last-minute change in location forced the stunt team to throw out all their prep work.

** Creator/FrankGrillo was disappointed at Crossbones being killed off so early after he originally signed a seven picture deal, feeling they wasted the character. He initially turned down the offer to cameo in ''Film/AvengersEndgame'' for this reason, only changing his mind when his son told him that it would be the biggest movie in the world, and Grillo indeed ended up having a good time on set.


** On the off chance that Robert Downey Jr. refused to return for ''Civil War'', [[http://www.ew.com/article/2016/08/25/captain-america-civil-war-was-almost-zombie-movie?xid=entertainment-weekly_socialflow_twitter an alternate storyline was pitched that involved the Madbomb]].

* TroubledProduction: While the production itself seems to have gotten by without much issue beyond the movie going overbudget, and they were able to fit Spider-Man snugly into the plot just as it seemed as though it was too late to include the recently re-acquired character into the film, [[http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/marvels-civil-war-why-kevin-820147 the story was different behind the scenes at Marvel corporate]]. The tension between MCU Producer Kevin Feige and Marvel CEO Ike Perlmutter, who had been on bad terms with one another, finally came to a boiling point. Perlmutter threatened to fire Robert Downey, Jr. when he was officially signed-on to take part in the movie (due to the actor's high salary). Feige, having none of that, objected and got Disney involved. The end result is that the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Creative Committee -- a group that Perlmutter was involved with that a history of being an {{Obstructive Bureaucra|t}}cy -- was removed from working on further movies and that Feige was given an AuteurLicense by Disney, separating Marvel Studios from Marvel Entertainment.

** Creator/TimMiller was approached to help design the airport fight sequence for this film before pulling out due to prior commitments on ''Film/Deadpool2016''. According to Miller:
--> ''I was working from this-- "I don't wanna see the two guys face-to-face, lining up and everybody in a line like it's Theatre/WestSideStory. Uh, and they're gonna rumble. Like, Cap is a tactical genius, so people were bailing out of the plane as it was landing-- Hawkeye was getting the high ground and Black Widow was gonna be a sniper somewhere, and it was all about-- It was just gonna be Cap facing Iron Man and all these people.''

Working on Authors Saving Throw and Salvaged Story consolidation.

Added DiffLines:

* AuthorsSavingThrow:
** Marketing example. There was a ''lot'' of outcry over the lack of merchandise for Black Widow and Scarlet Witch in ''Age of Ultron'', to the point that it got coverage on mainstream news outlets and even Creator/ClarkGregg and Creator/MarkRuffalo criticized Marvel over it. The big announcement for ''Civil War'' licensing made sure to mention that characters like Black Panther, War Machine, Black Widow, and Scarlet Witch would be heavily featured in the marketing and merchandise, seemingly going out of its way to highlight the fact that the female and minority heroes wouldn't be left out this time around.
** Several of the heroes' costumes have been adjusted to be more comics-accurate after various criticisms. For example Hawkeye's costume incorporates stronger purple coloring, and War Machine, whose Mark II armor was made to be bulkier and more heavily-armed.
