Scharpling is the actor who played the role of the man selling the lottery tickets to Ant-Man. During the Twitter Q&A with fans, Reed also revealed a bit about a secret Black Widow cameo in the film as well.
While most films in Marvel Cinematic Universe have numerous crossovers, Ant-Man had just featured Captain America’s sidekick Sam Wison aka The Falcon. The director said that the film had a secret Avenger cameo during a fight sequence between Paul Rudd’s Ant-Man and Anthony Mackie’s The Falcon.
Replying to a fan who had asked who Falcon was talking to during the fight sequence, Reed said that the person was none other than Natasha Romanoff aka Black Widow.

Recently another Marvel director shared some BTS gossip regarding one of MCU movies.
James Gunn, the writer, and director of Guardians of the Galaxy, said that even though Groot’s dialogue may seem restricted to the one-liner “I am Groot”, it is actually a full-formed language that those who are close to him are able to learn, almost through a telepathic connection.
