True to Marvel Studios form, Ant-Man will return. But aside from potential sequels and cameos in upcoming MCU films, the ideas introduced in the film are poised to have a big impact on Marvel’s Phase III, which begins with next year’s Captain America: Civil War.
One big question and development to come out of the film: Whose side is the pint size superhero on? Even before Ant-Man came out, fans knew Scott Lang would be appearing in Civil War, which will pit the anti-superhero registration forces of Captain America against Iron Man’s pro-registration crew. Ant-Man gives some clues as to where Scott’s loyalties may lie thanks to a budding friendship with Falcon, which like any good crusader friendship, began with a fight.
