MCU: 14 Things You Learn Rewatching Captain America: Civil War

8. Ant-Man Won The Airport Scene

Though most people would have been most excited about the arrivals of Black Panther and Spider-Man, it's Ant-Man who emerges as the MVP of the wonderful airport scene. This was the main event of the entire movie for a lot of people (after all, the marketing was very much positioned as Team Cap v Team Iron Man and we knew this was where it went down).

Not only do we get to see Giant Man's debut (which is incredibly well done considering how goofy it could have been), but Ant-Man also sets a sequence inside Iron Man's suit, he gets to fight hand-to-hand with other heroes and he gets to ride one of Hawkeye's arrows. And it's through his eyes that we experience the excitement of the scene (as well as Spider-Man's).

And of course Paul Rudd's performance - brief though it is - is hilarious, especially when he shrinks back down and asks meekly if anyone has any orange slices.
