Some view it as the greatest fight sequence in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Team Cap, trying to reach a Quinjet, confronts Team Iron Man on the tarmac of a major airport in Germany. Heated words are exchanged. A Spider-Man is summoned, and all hell breaks loose for a massive battle that left comic-book fans\' jaws on the ground. Only, the scene almost wasn\'t set in an airport. It almost took place at an abandoned amusement park in Berlin.

This juicy detail was one of many that was revealed by

co-writers Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely at an intimate, exclusive conversation at San Diego Comic-Con. The co-writers went through every step of their process in penning hits for the MCU, including their early days on

Markus: Also, we knew we were in Berlin, and there\'s an abandoned amusement park in Berlin. I don\'t know why! And it\'s terrifying looking.

Somebody... all I remember is somebody -- I don\'t think it was Giant Man -- somebody whacked Iron Man into the middle of a Ferris wheel, and it fell on him.

The fight goes a long way toward driving a wedge between Avengers members. Once colleagues, the fallout to the battle means that Ant-Man (Paul Rudd) has a bone to pick with Spidey (Tom Holland), Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) and Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) may never speak again, and Vision (Paul Bettany) brought some real pain to War Machine (Don Cheadle). The wounds will need to heal quickly, as The Avengers: Infinity War will reach theaters in 2018. Until then, we can only sit back and dream about Iron Man getting crushed by a Ferris wheel.
