One of -- if not the most -- memorable moments in Avengers: Endgame was the final climactic battle between Thanos' army and the full might of the Avengers. Aside from the famous team of superheroes, there were sorcerers, Wakandans, Asgardians, aliens and many others. But there could have been more.
Concept artist Jackson Sze recently uploaded unused artwork to social media, featuring a giant ant on the battlefield, armored by Groot and accompanied by Rocket and Doctor Strange. In the caption, Sze wrote, "Introducing the ANT-ANT." He explained that the idea behind it was that "Scott Lang would enlarge his ant friends to do battle with Thanos' army," adding that it would serve as a sort of vehicle for the Avengers. He went so far as to pitch it as the "MCU's version of Star War's [sic] iconic AT-AT."
Scott Lang was notably without any of his insect allies during the battle. Thankfully, he and the resurrected Hope Van Dyne seemed to manage just fine without them. There was a lot that was cut from the sequence, which means it's likely there would have been no time for the inclusion of a giant ant anyway, as spectacular as it might have been for some fans to see.
