'Captain America: Civil War' News: Kevin Feige Explains How 'Ant-Man' Film Sets Up Events
The post credits scene in 'Ant-Man' linked viewers to what is soon to unfold in the highly anticipated 'Captain America: Civil War' film.
In a recent interview with Zap2it, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige goes in to detail how the scene is related, and what the groundwork is for 'Civil War.'
He first admits that the post credits scene was initially shot for the 'Civil War' film and made its way into 'Ant-Man.'
"That is photography from that film that will play a part at a certain point in that film," Feige says.
"'Civil War' is a relatively simple story. 'Ultron' had a lot going on," he continues. "'Civil War' is a surprisingly grounded story about two characters that most audience members have come to know and like and admire finding themselves on different sides of a political argument, like the country does on many occasions, and how they both respond to that. That's the story. So it's actually a very, very simple story, and then how their personal relationships fit into that."
"Plot-wise, "Civil War" picks up not long after "Winter Soldier" left off, "continuing Cap's attempts [with Bucky]. Can he save his friend? Can he turn the Winter Soldier back into Bucky? Is that even possible? While the Winter Soldier, from most other people's point of view, is the deadliest, worst assassin of the past 70 years. So some people are like, 'Cap, you've got to let it go. He's not the guy that you used to know.' So it's a surprisingly personal story with a simple and very efficient plot that I think allows all those characters to have a presence and interact in a way that's different from other films we've made."
He goes on to speak on how this will be Ant-Man's first encounter with the Avengers, and along with his mentor Hank Pym, Scott isn't a fan of the team.
'Civil War' plans to premiere on May 6, 2016.
