Avengers Infinity War SHOCK: Does THIS prove Ant-Man was [SPOILER] all along?

WARNING SPOILERS FOR AVENGERS INFINITY WAR AHEAD

When the poster for Avengers Infinity War was released Marvel fans were shocked to find neither Ant-Man star Paul Rudd or Hawkeye actor Jeremy Rudd featured or billed as starring.

Of course the shrinking superhero has his own solo outing this summer in Ant-Man and the Wasp.

A film set before the events of Avengers Infinity War, which may explain his absence and help set up Avengers 4.

But what if Ant-Man was actually in Infinity War, working behind the scenes in his tiny form?

And just as Thanos used the Time Stone to bring back Vision and gain the Mind Stone, so must the Avengers use it to change the past – after all Ant-Man was spotted having time travelled in Avengers 4 set photos.

Now although Thanos’ Infinity Gauntlet is now broken after clicking his fingers, he managed to escape Thor’s Stormbreaker axe attack by using the Space Stone to get away.

Taking into account that Rudd’s first Ant-Man outing saw his Scott Lang, a former burglar, involved in a heist, it makes a lot of sense for him to sneak up on Thanos and grab the Time Stone.

Perhaps he’d do this by shrinking it and who’s to say he wasn’t already hanging on to the Gauntlet during the events of Infinity War?

Although how Captain Marvel and Hawkeye will be involved in Avengers 4 is something of a head scratcher.

Avengers 4 will be released in UK cinemas on April 26, 2019.
