Ant-Man is the first solo Avenger who hasn't appeared in a Marvel Cinematic Universe film before his own solo film since Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk in 2008, and Captain America and Thor in 2011. Nick Fury first appeared in Iron Man (2008), Black Widow first appeared in Iron Man 2 (2010), Hawkeye first appeared in Thor (2011), Vision first appeared in Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015) (the same for Scarlet Witch if her cameo in the Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014) post-credits is not counted), and Spider-Man and Black Panther first appeared in Captain America: Civil War (2016).

Quotes
[first lines]
Hank Pym:
Stark!
Howard Stark:
He doesn't seem happy. Hello, Hank. You're supposed to be in Moscow.
Hank Pym:
I took a detour... Through your defense lab.
[slams a vial of Pym particles on table]
Peggy Carter:
Tell me that isn't what I think it is.
Hank Pym:
That depends if you think it's a poor attempt to replicate my work. Even for this group, that takes nerve.
Mitchell Carson:
You were instructed to go to Russia. May I remind you, Dr. Pym, that you're a soldier...

Crazy Credits
SPOILER: There is a scene at the end of the closing credits: Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson have Bucky Barnes in their custody, and debate on what to do. This leads into Captain America: Civil War (2016). See more »
AntMan is a lesser know character of marvels but by no means does that effect the quality of this movie. First off I thought that the casting of this film wasn't going to work, that been Paul Rudd mainly, just because I have read a few of the AntMan comics and didn't think it was going to work, I was wrong he is brilliant, hilarious and believable, all of the jokes he made actually made laugh out load which doesn't happen much. Michael Pena was great in this film, he plays the same kind of character he always seems too, but it really works, especially the story telling scenes were hilarious. This was a all round well cast film.
The action and CGI Was great, on first thoughts I thought when AntMan shrinks down that the CGI would take you out of the movie but let me tell you it doesn't, it's awesome! Especially seeing the world from that size and scenes where AntMan is shrinking and enlarging when fighting i thought would get a little too much but the honestly don't.
All around I AntMan felt different to all the other MCU movies that have come out, but a good different. A well cast,directed and acted film that will be a welcome addition to my marvel collection.
