Some toy retailers may have just given away a huge twist in "Captain America: Civil War."

I just opened up an email announcing new comic book toys, and the first toy featured may have given away a huge plot point in the upcoming Marvel film which pits Captain America against Iron Man.

That Funko Pop may look like Ant Man, but look closer. It says Giant-Man, which is what Ant-Man becomes when he grows to enormous sizes.

In the comics, Hank Pym – the original Ant-Man played by Michael Douglas in the "Ant-Man" movie – uses the shrink-enabling Pym Particles to grow to 12 feet tall, with increased strength to match. Based on this toy, it looks like the second Ant-Man, Scott Lang – played by Paul Rudd – will be towering over the rest of the Avengers at some point in the upcoming film.

With no Hulk or Thor scheduled to appear in the film, it looks like this guy might be bringing in a lot of the muscle.

After all, "Ant-Man" director Peyton Reed hinted back in July that we could see the character.

"Listen, I think with Hank Pym and Scott Lang, and with that technology, I think it's safe to say at some point somewhere you're going to see some real growth for that character," Reed told Screen Junkies. "I hedge my bet there, because it could be sort of growth as a human being, emotional growth, or literal giant growth. There's a good chance of that."
