Plot details are given for Ant-Man:
Douglas confirms he is mentoring Rudd to take over Ant-Man; there is mention of a heist; Darren Cross takes the company in an evil direction (but according to Cross, he is taking it in the future); so Douglas gets Rudd to become Ant-Man.

There is discussion between Pym (Douglas) and Lang (Rudd), with Pym telling him he wants a regular guy for Ant-Man.
