Captain America Civil War: 12 Big Questions From Everything We Know So Far

10. If Ant-Man's Around, Why Isn't Wasp?

Ant-Man is the newest superhero on the block (for now), having had the closing film of Phase 2. He had a run-in with Falcon during that movie, and in-universe that's led to him being a part of Civil War, where he'll fight alongside Falcon on Team Rogers. However, Ant-Man did also introduce another new hero at the end, with Evangeline Lilly's Hope becoming Wasp. Marvel recently announced that the sequel to that film would be entitled Ant-Man & The Wasp, making her the first female character to have her name in a Marvel movie (something which is long overdue). Given that the character is going to be a part of Phase 3 moving forwards, as well as the fact that female heroes are still rather lacking, you'd think they would've included her here. Furthermore, she's surely working/training with Scott Lang post-Ant-Man, so if she isn't with him then where is she and what's she up to?
