15 Unforgettable Scenes Of Ant-Man In The MCU

Ant-Man may not be the strongest hero, but indeed is one of the funniest characters in the MCU. By contrast to the stoicism of Captain, the cockiness of Thor or a sense of acuteness and slyness of Iron Man. Scoot Lang is a kind, supportive, loving, somewhat naive, but always a well-meaning man who always tries his best to be a good father.
Played by Paul Rudd, who has nailed the scripts for both Ant-Man and Anchorman of director Adam McKay then got improvisation to the set, Ant-man brought to the audience lots of funny scenes that make them titter. However, like other superheroes, he still has tragedy and emotional gut-punches over the years, which created a blend of emotion and remarkable moments in the movies. Below are 15 unforgettable scenes of Ant-man in MCU, some of them involve other characters, typically the Wasp.

1. Hope Making Fun Of Scott When He Shrinks Down To A Child’s Size

Seeing Paul Rudd as a child (but still with Paul Rudd’s face) is really weird and creepy. Hank says, “Hiya, champ, how was school today?” and when this irritates him, Hope adds, “So cranky!”.

2. Reuniting With Teenage Cassie

Scott Lang was stranded in the Quantum Realm during Thanos’ finger-snap. In the end, a rat walked across the controls to free Scott, albeit five years into the future. He returned home, expecting to see his 10-year-old daughter, but when she came to the door, she was a teenager. All of a sudden, his little girl was taller than him. He just said, “You’re so big!”

3. No One Knows Ant-Man

 A group of kids then approach their table and take a picture with Hulk. They refuse to take one with Ant-Man, though, because they don't know him. Himbos often think about things in very basic terms. Scott is also a superhero, so why wouldn't the kids want a picture with him?

4. The Death Of Ant-Ony

Ant-Man named his trusty ant sidekick “Ant-ony” and rode him into battle against Yellowjacket with the rest of his army of ants. However, Yellowjacket was firing at them from his helicopter and one of the bullets took down Ant-ony. The grief is tragically clear when Scott cries out, “Ant-ony!!”

5. Thanks For Thanking Of Him

In the first meet between him and Captain before the "CIvil War":  "Thanks for thinking of me," he famously says, although his "thinking" comes out more like a "thanking." Scott's overt appreciation for Cap, and the neediness that companies it, are prime examples of one of the himbo's trademark qualities: harmless shamelessness.

6. Finding His Own Name On The Snap Memorial

From a five-hour session in the Quantum Realm, he didn’t know about “the Snap,” he’d never heard the name Thanos, and no one seemed to be able to give him a straight answer.

7. “We’re On It, Cap.”

Wasp and Ant-Man are getting the Quantum Tunnel in the back of Luis’ van up and running and Captain America tells them over the Avengers’ walkie channel that they’ll bring the Infinity Stones to them to toss in there. Then the Wasp says, “We’re on it, Cap.” It was a callback to when she made fun of Scott.

8. Janet Speaking To Hank And Hope Through Scott

In perhaps Ant-Man and the Wasp’s funniest scene, Janet van Dyne embodies Scott Lang for a heartfelt reunion with Hank and Hope through him. The hilarity of this scene can be entirely credited to Paul Rudd’s acting.

9. Entering The Quantum Realm To Save Cassie

All throughout the first Ant-Man movie, Hank Pym had continually stressed the dangers of the Quantum Realm. But the reason he still did it is so heartwarming. He saw that Yellowjacket was threatening Cassie and that the only way to disable his suit would be to shrink between the atoms, and he didn’t think twice. To save Cassie, he risked getting trapped in there forever.

10. An Idiot In The Landing Zone

When Nebula first met Scoot, she immediately disregards him. Scott expresses admiration for the Milano, but Nebula remains unimpressed and even insults him. Rhodey belittles him too, almost immediately. Scott doesn't get offended or angry, though. He remains as cheerful as ever because he is just happy to be part of the whole thing, once again proving how happily unthinking he can be.

11. Closeup Magic

In Ant-Man and the Wasp, Scott Lang was shown to be bored out of his mind under house arrest. One of the things he filled his days with was learning closeup magic online by his government computer at the FBI office.

12. Hi, I'm Scott

Scott loves the Avengers and also tries to avoid fighting with one of them, so he said... "Hi"

13. Hank Catching Them Kissing

The first Ant-Man movie didn’t set up Hope as a love interest for Scott in the way that movies like Thor set up characters like Jane Foster. The great thing about Hope is that she contributes more to the plot and the action beyond simply being a romantic foil. In this sense, she’s more like Peggy Carter.

14. The Honest Thief

He was caught after trying to return the suits. Trying to explain his presence to the cops, he reveals that he isn't actually stealing anything but returning something he previously stole.

15. Listening To Birds Chirping And Then Immediately Being Blown Up

After Hulk" finger snap, Scott Lang was the first to go out and see the effects of this. He could hear birds chirping outside in the New Avengers Facility’s courtyard. And then, he was promptly blown away by Thanos’ warships. Fans had to wait until the Blu-ray was released to freeze the frame and see exactly when Scott shrinks down during this scene. He managed to hit that regulator a couple of milliseconds after the bomb hit.
