Some parts of the movie were also shot in Downtown Atlanta and also in San Francisco. In the month of October 2014, it was revealed by the makers that Martin Donovan will be seen playing a role in the coming Ant-Man.

“It’s not. The truth is the phases mean a lot to me and some people but…Civil War is the start of Phase Three. It just is. And Ant-Man is a different kind of culmination of Phase Two because it very much is in the MCU.

You meet new characters and you learn about Hank Pym and his lineage with the MCU over the years. But at the same time, it also picks up the thread of Age of Ultron in terms of heroes—major heroes, Avengers—coming from unexpected places. And in that way, it connects a lot.

Also, Hank Pym’s attitude towards Avengers, towards S.H.I.E.L.D., and kind of the cinematic universe in general, is much more informed after the events of Age of Ultron, and in a certain way, before the events of Civil War.” This was the statement of Kevin Feigs when he was asked that the placement between Avengers: Age of Ultron and Captain America: Civil War might feel like an afterthought.

Justin Chang from Variety said, “succeeds well enough as a genial diversion and sometimes a delightful one, predicated on the rarely heeded Hollywood wisdom that less really can be more.”
