Captain America almost had a cameo in ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp’

Marvel

If one of the early drafts of Ant-Man and the Wasp was going to be followed, we would’ve seen the beloved Captain America show up in the movie. But as the film’s director Peyton Reed explained to RadioTimes.com, they wanted the movie to be a standalone film that’s “in its own world” and so cameos were foregone this time around.

Reed explained that in an earlier draft, Captain America would’ve shown up in a flashback scene that Luis (played by Michael Peña) narrates. He was supposed to recap the events of Captain America: Civil War. He said, “Early on, we had a version where we were going to do a quick version of the tarmac fight from Civil War, with some ridiculous thing where, you know, Captain America has Ant-Man as a baseball and throws him. Because the whole thing is Luis’ version of events, right? We came up with all these ridiculous visuals.” Now, we wish we could’ve seen that. Unfortunately, it wasn’t even shot so it’s not even going to be a bonus clip in the DVD.

The Wasp was supposed to have debuted in ‘Captain America: Civil War’

While Ant-Man and the Wasp properly put Evangeline Lilly’s Hope Van Dyne/The Wasp as a central character in the film, her debut was supposed to have happened earlier, like Captain America: Civil War earlier. But Ant-Man and the Wasp director Peyton Reed explained to IGN why this didn’t happen, “There was a point, really early on, where was going to be introduced in Civil War. But there just simply wasn’t screen time to do justice to that character, so we’ve done it here.”

And Marvel seemed to be aware of how late the introduction of The Wasp has been and that it really was a long time coming. “This whole movie was about putting her at the forefront and was about making good on the promise of the end of the last film where she says, 'About damn time.'" Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige tells ComicBook.com. "And that whole movie was about the fact that clearly she was qualified to put on a suit and do what was right but she kept being prevented by her father, for reasons that were revealed in that film and reasons that have to do with her mother and now, of course, she becomes the key hero to attempt to rescue her mom and seeing that father-daughter relationship repaired in this movie was something that was great fun for us and to see here step in the forefront.” What do you think? Would you have wanted to see The Wasp earlier? Let us know your thoughts when you see the film. Ant-Man and the Wasp comes to theatres starting July 6.

New ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp’ TV spot reminds us Scott Lang is an Avenger now

While we’re certain we won’t hear anything about the fate of the Avengers in Infinity War (this movie is set before all hell broke loose after all), it doesn’t mean we won’t be reminded that one of the main stars of this film is an Avenger now. At least that’s what Scott Lang a.k.a. Ant-Man (Paul Rudd) wants everyone around him to remember. This new Powers TV spot highlights more of the banter between Lang and his arguably more capable partner Hope van Dyne a.k.a. Wasp (Evangeline Lilly). We also get to see a bit of the film’s antagonist, Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen) wreak a bit more havoc. Ant-Man and the Wasp is set for a release in the first week of July.
