WhenMarvelreleased the fullcast listforCaptain America: Civil Warback in May, many fans were surprised to learn thatAnt-Manhimself,Paul Rudd’s Scott Lang, was coming aboard. The announcement made much more sense just a few months later whenAnt-Manhit theaters, after Scott Lang had a confrontation with The Falcon (Anthony Mackie) at the new Avengers facility, along with the end credits sequence when it was hinted Falcon andCaptain Americawould call upon Scott to help them free The Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan). While it may be quite some time before we see a full trailer forCaptain America: Civil War,Comic Book Moviehas uncovered leaked promo artwork, which revealsAnt-Man’s new costume. We also get a look at the new War Machine armor and a fresh look at Black Panther.
Both theAnt-Manhelmet and suit are given an upgrade in this promo artwork, which appears to have a more aerodynamic design than the original suit, designed byHank Pym. Aside from this image, we don’t have any other details about this suit, or if Scott actually designed this himself. Given the massive cast ofCaptain America: Civil War, it isn’t known how large a role Scott Lang will have in this superhero adventure, but at least we know he’ll be fighting with a new suit. These leaked promo photos also feature a slew of other heroes such as Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Captain America (Chris Evans), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) and The Winter Soldier.
TheCaptain America: Civil Warplot picks up whereAvengers: Age of Ultronleft off, as Steve Rogers leads the new team ofAvengersin their continued efforts to safeguard humanity. After another international incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage, political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability and a governing body to determine when to enlist the services of the team.
