Ant-Man and the Wasp originally had a hilarious Captain America cameo

However, Reed then went on to exclusively reveal that in an early draft of his new movie there was a pretty significant cameo, which was later scrapped in favour of keeping things simple.

The cameo was to take place in a scene where Michael Peña’s Luis performs one of his trademark flashback recaps, which (as in the first film, below) see him reimagine past events to have every character speaking with his voice and mannerisms.

In the finished Ant-Man and the Wasp, the new flashback sees Luis recap certain events from the original Ant-Man, but Reed revealed that one idea the team had was for him to do the same service for 2016 movie Captain America: Civil War. That movie saw Ant-Man (Paul Rudd) join forces with Cap (Chris Evans) against Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr) and company for a massive superhero brawl in an airport.

“Early on, we had a version where we were going to do a quick version of the tarmac fight from Civil War, with some ridiculous thing where, you know, Captain America has Ant-Man as a baseball and throws him,” Reed explained. “Because the whole thing is Luis’ version of events, right?”

“We came up with all these ridiculous visuals.”

Maria Hill: ...Then aliens invaded New York and were beaten back, by among others, a giant green monster, a costumed hero from the 40's.... and a god.

Grant Ward: I don't think Thor is technically a god.

Maria Hill: Well...you haven't been near his arms.

This sounds like it could have been even more awesome.

Do you really think that is better than Stan Lee admonishing Coulson on the train for the way he treats his 'daughter', Jemma Simmons?

As I think that's one of the worst cameos in the MCU, yeah.

Jemma Simmons: I will say that is one thing that Agatha All Along got right. They did a phenomenal job of planting hints throughout but it not really being obvious until the end. Reminded me of WandaVision that way. Nov 10, 2024 23:03:26 GMT

Jemma Simmons: And yes, I think AoS did such a fantastic job at character/world building. I know that was one of the complaints about Season 1. Nov 10, 2024 23:04:32 GMT

Jemma Simmons: That they took too long to introduce stuff... but honestly the slow build was the payoff. Nov 10, 2024 23:04:51 GMT

ayanami: Yeah, I wish they'd managed to throw in some Avengers cameos along the way. You know, to keep audience numbers high until the story really took off.

Nov 10, 2024 23:07:44 GMT

ayanami: Idk, Ironman flying alongside the Bus. Stuff like that.

Nov 10, 2024 23:08:50 GMT

Jemma Simmons: LOL that would have been awesome! I got the idea they might like to do that, but I suspect the main actors were too expensive. Although we did get Fury a few times. And the occasional Maria Hill. Nov 10, 2024 23:09:58 GMT

ayanami: Also, should have scrapped and re-done episode 2 from scratch. Not a horrible episode all together, but what a slow, low-budget let-down from the pilot and the general MCU world in general. I bet the ratings drop between eps 2 and 3 was massive! Nov 10, 2024 23:11:30 GMT

Jemma Simmons: Oh I'm sure you're right! Nov 10, 2024 23:12:00 GMT

ayanami: Yeah, Fury was great! Plus, he was really necessary to tie the story together in S1. Nov 10, 2024 23:12:16 GMT

Jemma Simmons: I think the other issue with the first couple seasons as far as pacing had to do with them tying in the show to the movies and not being able to address the movie on the show until the movie was released. Nov 10, 2024 23:13:19 GMT

Jemma Simmons: And yeah, Fury was great! His appearances never felt forced either. Like you said, he was necessary to the plot and it fit that he was there. Nov 10, 2024 23:14:22 GMT

ayanami: True. But low-budget eps right at the start of the show, special effects stolen right out of Firefly and cringy humour certainly didn't help their case, either.

Nov 10, 2024 23:14:49 GMT

Jemma Simmons: Ha, no. But every show has to find its footing that first season. Nov 10, 2024 23:15:47 GMT

Jemma Simmons: I just keep wondering if we might ever see any AoS characters on What If? Nov 10, 2024 23:16:11 GMT

Jemma Simmons: I mean that would be really easy to bring them in on. I can't see doing the voice work taking long. Nov 10, 2024 23:16:27 GMT

ayanami: That would be very cool. I'd love to see that! Nov 10, 2024 23:18:49 GMT

Jemma Simmons: Me too! Have to wonder how many of the cast at this point would be willing to do it. It would be neat to see them though! Nov 10, 2024 23:20:22 GMT

ayanami: Alrighty then, since it's getting late over here, I think I'm gonna peace off now. I hope you have a great week ahead of you, until next Sunday! See you around, bosslady!

Nov 10, 2024 23:20:27 GMT

Jemma Simmons: You have a good week too! See you next week! Nov 10, 2024 23:21:21 GMT

ayanami: I would hope everyone. I mean, it's a paycheck and voice work should not be that hard to fit into their usual schedules. Nov 10, 2024 23:22:08 GMT
