10 Biggest Reveals From The Marvel Phase 2 Box-Set

8. Ant-Man Was Introduced In Phase Two So He Could Be Used In Civil War

Ant-Man was a weirdly small-scale (pun not intended) way to close out Phase Two, which is the way Marvel planned it. Instead of having the blow out extravaganza of Age Of Ultron they wanted to focus on a more human story; that€™s why the stakes in Ant-Man aren€™t exactly world threatening. With Marvel always keeping one eye on the future though they also wanted to introduce the character so he could involved in Civil War, where he€™ll apparently have a big (again, no pun) part to play. This was teased in the after-credit scene of Ant-Man, where Falcon said he might know someone who can help out. Like a lot of things about Civil War the nature of Ant-Man€™s role is being kept a secret, though he and Falcon are said to get something of a bromance going.
