Ant-Man and The Wasp Ant-Man and the Wasp News and Speculation Thread - Part 1

[chamber-music]

Peyton Reed is keen on Hank & Janet so I'm sure he will give them some shine.

 

[Tg11]

I am most excited to see Fishburne too especially with him playing Bill Foster

Hopefully, they give him more to do than DC did!

 

[Webfoot Hero]

I still find it amazing how little we actually know about this film and it's only 4 months away. They've done a good job at keeping the leaks to a minimum.

 

[chamber-music]

The movie has been under the radar. Most the attention has been on Black Panther and Avengers Infinity War.

 

[Spider-Fan]

It has been, but this movie will get a major push once IW has been out. Remember, this is our last Marvel film between July and March

Though we will have plenty of shows to look forward to, lol.

 

[boocherhix]

When does this movie take place in the timeline? Is it assumed that it takes place after whatever time shift ending Infinity War supposedly has? Before? During?

 

[Tg11]

I think that this film will take place like somewhere in the middle of Civil War and Infinity War...dealing with the aftermath of Civil War

Based on the trailer, looks to be pre-IW, but could maybe overlap it. It would explain why Ant-Man is not in the IW marketing.

 

[Tg11]

Or if it takes place like during IW then it would make sense especially if IW is gonna be in Wakanda and in New York then it really doesn't affect Ant Man because he is not in New York because isn't he in San Francisco?

 

[chamber-music]

Scott starts Ant-Man under house arrest from his involvement in Civil War so this movie probably takes places at the same time or after Infinity War.

Crazy to think we have that long of a break. I am use to having a Marvel movie in Nov. Kind of wish we get the break after A4 but Spidey is 2 months after.

I think it is best under the radar in case it contains spoilers. I still think it is after CW but before IWs even happens.

Same. I think likely, the IW stinger will be some type of joke like Ant-Man pops in from wherever he was in this movie and be like, what did I miss? I am thinking quantum realm and time displacement stuff is going to be part of this.

With all the tech geniuses in the MCU if they needed him during IWs they could easily have gotten him. I don't think this is around IWs until maybe the end assuming the final act is a long sequence when they are subatomic. Time passes differently there so weeks or months can go by, Lang wasn't in there long enough to feel it in the 1st movie. If they are looking for Janet they should be there long enough for time to pass and IWs to happen.

 

[Pennywise]

I think the marketing for this will ramp up very soon!!

 

[Spider-Fan]

Probably around mid-May. Let IW get a couple of weeks of a major push, then start hawking this one.

 

[Web-Head]

Just watched the first one again the other day and my excitement for this shot up quite a bit!

 

[KevTravels]

I'm reading rumors Hawkeye might show up in Ant-Man.

Or maybe it's just fan hopes.

 

[Flash525]

Ah, so that's why he's not in IW; he's busy with Scott & Hope.

I remember hearing that a while ago and Peyton Reed shot it down.

Could be true though but we'll see

They're apparently reshooting the opening action sequence in LA:

[Tg11]

If Jeremy Renner's Clint Barton/Hawkeye does a cameo in this sequel I wouldn't have a problem with that or even if Anthony Mackie shows up again as Sam Wilson/Falcon that would be even better

That sucks because the opening scene is rumored to be

Spoiler

Hank and Janet's South America flashback sequence.

Looks like once again Hank's original Ant-Man adventures are getting ditched just like his prologue from the first movie

 

[Tg11]

The sequence of her turning off her regulator I mean didn't we see that flashback sequence in the first Ant Man and then her going subatomic

As it should be. Scottie and Hope deserve more love.
