Well, obviously, right? if you want a thematic through line with which to connect two superheroes for an MCU crossover, it doesn't get much more blatant than the two MCU heroes named after bugs. But more than that, these two interacting would be a laugh riot, as well as a good means of genuine character growth.

If Peter Parker was any cleaner a person, he'd squeak with every third step. Meanwhile Scott Lang is basically Han Solo if he were actually self aware of how pathetic he kinda is. Sure he'll do the right thing at the end of the day, but during the rest of that day, he's a thief.

A story centering around the two of them would really be just as simple as Spider-Man accidentally interrupting something that Scott is doing, the police assume Spider-Man is in on it (because from the Bugle to the cops, it is a truth universally acknowledged that Spider-Man cannot be allowed to catch a damn break) and poor Peter gets shanghaied along for the ride.

It would also be a good way to introduce a Spider-Man villain into the MCU that might be a little too big for this version of Peter's britches, like Electro, Kraven The Hunter, or the Rhino. The sky's the limit when it comes to the fun that this team up would ensue.
