MCU: 10 Fascinating Facts Behind Ant-Man & The Wasp (2018)
9. It Leaked Infinity War (To The Development Team)
With Ant-Man and the Wasp being produced at the same time as
the MCU behemoth known as Infinity War, the development team for both films
were actually in communication to make sure that neither film contradicted the
other – meaning that the Ant-Man and the Wasp staff got all the sneaky details
as to the next big MCU film ahead of time.
With the Ant-Man and the Wasp post-credits directly referencing the events of Infinity War, it’s clear these communications were pretty explicit in one of the biggest plot details in the entire film.
While it
remains unclear whether the post-credits scene of Ant-Man and the Wasp –
wherein Ant-Man gets trapped in the Quantum Realm due to the deaths of half of
Earth – were a request from the Russo brothers, or whether it was Reed’s way of
making sure Ant-Man’s absence in Infinity War was explained is unclear, but
either way, it’s an interesting insight into exactly how the MCU is put
together.
