MCU: 10 Fascinating Facts Behind Ant-Man & The Wasp (2018)
2. It Initially Had A Captain America Cameo
During early scripting for the film, the
team had original drafted up a scene wherein Captain America would briefly
feature. The rough concept for the scene was Luis – Ant-Man’s literal partner
in crime and former cellmate – telling the story of Ant-Man’s involvement in the
events of Civil War, in particular focusing on the iconic airport battle.
However, due to the fact that this scene would be close to a total rehash of the original – and due to the fact that Ant-Man and the Wasp repeatedly references Captain America – it was thought best to remove this cameo from the film.
While a sneaky extra dash of the world’s
favourite do-gooder would have likely been exciting to many fans, this is one
case where leaving him out seems like the best call.
