Why weren't Ant-Man and the Wasp in The Avengers Infinity War?

Script writers Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely explained to why they chose to leave Ant-Man out of The Avengers Infinity War.

Stephen said: "When we get to this time next year, all will become clear.

"Ant-Man clearly had a specific requirement, which is he had an entire movie that is going to come between these two movies.

"Same thing with Captain Marvel, by the way.

"We looked at that as an opportunity, not as some sort of backbend we had to do."
