It's difficult to keep secrets about the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

While appearing on Late Night with Seth Meyers to promote Ant-Man and The Wasp, star Paul Rudd partially revealed what occurs in one of the sequel's post-credits scenes. When asked by the host how the film relates to Avengers: Infinity War and its upcoming sequel, Rudd caught himself nearly spoiling the stinger.

"People have asked me about this one and this -- all right, I don't know if I'm supposed to say this but I'll say it," Rudd began when pressed by Meyers. "[Ant-Man and The Wasp] happens kind of concurrently and it's very important because it doesn't exist in a vacuum. You have to stay through to the end because once you see this thing through those post-credit scenes -- there's some mind-blowing stuff in there that kind of ties into Infinity War and it's uh -- I think I messed up. I think I messed up, yeah."

Scott Lang's absence during the events of this year's Infinity War was addressed offhandedly as the reformed criminal reaching a deal with the government that confines him to house arrest as a result of his actions in Captain America: Civil War.

Directed by Peyton Reed, Ant-Man and The Wasp stars Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lilly, Bobby Cannavale, Michael Peña, Tip “T.I.” Harris, Judy Greer, David Dastmalchian, Michael Douglas, Michelle Pfeiffer, Laurence Fishburne, Hannah John-Kamen, Randall Park, and Walton Goggins. The film arrives in theaters on July 6.
