Part of what we tried to bring to the MCU as film makers on a tonal level … is just a grounding and a real world patina over who these people are, to try and bring out their humanity a little more in contrast to their powers. And this shot is in that vein, in the sense that, it’s a very long shot, we stay in the perspective of these characters as they walk out into Greenwich Village and discover this scene of chaos unfolding. We discover it as they discover it, and the scope of it as they discover it. - The Russo Brothers
