Ant-Man Almost Fought for the Other Side in ‘Captain America: Civil War,’ Says Peyton Reed
(Please note: There are minor spoilers ahead for “Ant-Man and the Wasp,” “Infinity War” and the MCU at large)
“Ant-Man and the Wasp” is set two years after the events of “Captain America: Civil War,” which is the last time audiences saw Paul Rudd’s character Scott Lang, aka Ant-Man, suit up and shrink down.
Then, Lang was recruited to fight alongside Captain America in opposition of Team Iron-Man and the Sakovia Accords, the supposed driving force of conflict in the movie.
Seeing as Lang was helping Captain America, a war criminal by this point, he was in violation of Sakovia Accords. The next time we see Lang in “Ant-Man and the Wasp” he’s serving the last three days of his two years of house arrest.
