OVER BLACK: “FIVE YEARS LATER.
A grieving man speaks in a recovery group.
GRIEVING MAN
So, I went on a date the other day.
JIMMY
Good job, Bobby. Back in the game.
GRIEVING MAN
Thank you, Jimmy.
(to the group)
First in five years. I sat there
at dinner thinking, what are we
even supposed to talk about?
Steve Rogers, thinner, older, listens intently.
STEVE
What did you talk about?
GRIEVING MAN
Same old crap. How much things
have changed. How much we miss the Mets. My job, his job. Then it
got kind of quiet. He cried during
the salads.
OLDER MAN
What about you?
GRIEVING MAN
I cried just before dessert. But
I’m seeing him again tomorrow.
So...
STEVE
That’s great. You’ve already done
the hardest part. You took a jump,
didn’t know where you’d come down.
And that’s it, those little brave
baby steps we’ve gotta take. To
try to make us feel whole again, to
find a purpose...
(to everyone)
I went into the ice right after I
met the love of my life. Woke up
seventy years later and...had to
keep going.
The group takes this in.�
STEVE (CONT'D)
The world’s been left in our hands.
If we don’t do something with
it...then Thanos might as well have
killed all of us.
People nod, but Steve seems unconvinced by his own words.
EXT. SAN FRANCISCO - DAY
THE CAMERA ROTATES down from the sky onto a strangely quiet
San Francisco, until it finds...
A STORAGE WAREHOUSE.
INT. STORAGE WAREHOUSE, UNIT 277 - DAY
Luis' van sits in a storage unit, surrounded by boxes.
“S. LANG, KITCHEN, S. LANG, CLOTHES.”
THROUGH THE VAN WINDOWS, we see...
Hank Pym’s quantum tunnel.
A MEANDERING RAT CRAWLS ONTO THE CONTROLS. IT ACCIDENTALLY
STEPS ON A TOGGLE SWITCH and...A LIGHT GOES GREEN. FLASH.
THE BACK DOORS OF THE VAN BLOW OPEN, revealing...
SCOTT LANG...ANT-MAN suit shorting.
He retracts his helmet, gasping.
INT. STORAGE WAREHOUSE, SECURITY OFFICE - DAY
A guard reads the terminal breach, by J.G. Ballard. He looks up at a monitor:
SCOTT LANG holds up a sign.
“HELP.”
EXT. STORAGE WAREHOUSE - DAY.
A dented wagon rolls over a speed-bump. Scott, in his old clothes, slowly wheels his belongings away.
The Guard watches him go, puzzled.
EXT. SAN FRANCISCO, STREET - DAY
Scott walks a street of abandoned homes.
SCOTT LANG
Hello?
He hears a clacking. A kid on a bicycle rides by, playing card wedged between his spokes.
Scott waves him down.
The kid stops.
SCOTT LANG (CONT'D)
Hey. Kid. What happened here?.
The kid says nothing. He just stares at Scott with a haunted look. Then he stands on his pedal and keeps riding.
