Go ahead and feel free to speculate wildly about what this means for the actual content of the movie, but here's a fact: newly-minted Avengers member Falcon (Anthony Mackie) appears in this new foreign promo for Ant-Man.

Cinemablend reports that Marvel tweeted out the promo yesterday, then quickly deleted the tweet. Oops.

As Uproxx points out, this doesn't necessarily mean that Falcon, who is rocking the same costume we saw him in at the end of Avengers: Age of Ultron,  has anything to do with the plot of the upcoming Marvel film.

We don't even know if he appears in anything more than even a post-credits sequence, but really, who knows? He could have a larger cameo role, too. 

One thing seems for sure. Marvel is setting the stage for introducing Ant-Man to the larger Marvel universe, and possibly setting the stage for him to appear in the next Marvel movie up on the schedule, Captain America: Civil War
