That’s easily one of the greatest moments in comic book filmdom. It’s a Renaissance painting come to life.

LZ has historically been very difficult to deal with to acquire rights to use their songs in TV and film (Jack Black literally filmed a message to the band begging to use “Immigrant Song” in School of Rock, which they granted) and with good reason to a point, given how many of their contemporaries basically gave song rights to pretty much anyone with enough cash.

Basically, it took Marvel/Disney pretty much finishing the movie, showing the remaining members of the band a teaser trailer (with the song in it), and the band pretty much being given dump trucks full of cash to secure the rights…and the song definitely works for that scene in spades.
