Hawkeye debuted today and featured the return of Clint Barton to the MCU. But if director Rhys Thomas had gotten his way, we would’ve seen another Avenger on the show, too.
Speaking in a recent interview, Thomas shared that he hoped to have Ant-Man appear, but unfortunately, it didn’t end up happening.
“Oh, that’s a loaded one, because…you don’t want to reveal anything. Here’s one, Ant-Man, obviously, both Paul and Jeremy’s dynamic together, I sort of enjoyed. I enjoyed their press tour dynamic when they were on the Avengers run. And so, he was a character that just felt like a fun way to play it, the absurdity of Clint’s situation. I got to have a little nod to that.”
No doubt it would’ve been fun to see Scott and Clint together on screen, but we’re more than happy with the duo we got in Hawkeye instead – Clint and Kate Bishop.
