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

[Webfoot Hero]

Goggins was revealed to be playing Sonny Burch, who in the comics was chairman of Cross Technologies and an associate of Obediah Stane. It'll be interesting to see what they do to his character to make him a threat.

I haven't seen MoS2 in the line-up reveal yet. Perhaps I missed it, but if it's not set yet, Fishburn can certainly do something else in the meantime.

Hannah John-Kamen was introduced as Ghost in the video the cast did for the panel.

Oh, lol. Guess that answers that.

 

[CB Fan]

Excited for Pfeiffer.

 

[Dark Raven]

Hmm. That's unexpected about Michelle Pfeiffer. She's not bad but I never thought of her as Janet. How does she look these days?

I'm guessing Fishburne is Bill Foster.

Was this announced on a panel? Is there a link?

Thanks. This movie seems to have bigger stars than the last time round.

I thought they were just reusing old concept art (of his first costume) from the first film, but they showed it again at the panel so I'm guessing Scott goes back to it because Ross took his CW suit? Unless he was able to get it back when Steve broke him/the others out.

Hopefully we get confirmation of the timeframe this movie takes place in since it's releasing after IW but could easily happen before the events of IW.

So it looks like we're going to be getting the Ghost as a villain, someone who's typically associated with IM.

I wonder to what degree it's possible to pull off an Armor Wars type story with Ant-Man instead.

Tony Stark invents Ultron instead of Pym and Pym gets Tony's Armor Wars and people stealing his tech. Sounds like an even trade to me.

Thinking right after Steve breaks him out. The two movies between the Avengers right after what just went down in IWs. We know CM is a prequel, so have Ant-Man be before IWs goes down.

Something clearly happens to them because Wasp is for sure not in IWs and Scott must be limited or out.

Well it was probably hard to sell people on the concept of Ant-Man before. Even with the success of the MCU.

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

Color me surprised at Michelle's casting.

 

[samsnee]

At least they won't have to use the de-aging effects on Pfeiffer since she looks the exact same as 20 years ago.

 

[Mister J]

Michelle.

 

[legendkillin]

Makes you wonder what the hell the Sharon Stone news was about months ago. Guess it could have been an audition and she didn't get it.

What if Sharon Stone is doing Captain Marvel instead? Maybe she is playing Mar-vell?

 

[MbJ]

I'm so happy they got an age-appropriate actress. I was worried they were gonna pull some bullcrap and say time stops in the Microverse or something as an excuse to cast a 30-something year old as Jan.

Or Danver's mom if we get backstory.

 

[OutOfBoose]

Wow, Michelle is Janet. Awesome!

 

[chamber-music]

Tony created Ultron in the movies so using one of his villains for Ant-Man & The Wasp seems fairplay.They have a number of associated enemies anyway in the comics.

Ghost's real identity is unknown so the gender swapping him isn't really a big deal.

I thought using a Iron Man villain was a odd choice but when I thought about it I realized there could be some interesting storyline ideas in using Ghost.

Ghost is a anti-capitalist hacker/corporate saboteur type and could of hero worshipped Lang because he robin hooded his former corrupt corporate bosses.

Ghost could take it too far and try to destroy major corporate and finical institutions which brings her into conflict with Ant-Man and Wasp. I guess the FBI come into it as Ghost is on their radar.

Ghost could also be former Pym Tech employee who became a anti-corporate type after she was fired or something.

Goggins was revealed to be playing Sonny Burch, who in the comics was chairman of Cross Technologies and an associate of Obediah Stane. It'll be interesting to see what they do to his character to make him a threat.

I hope they do something interesting with him and he isn't just another Marvel eccentric evil corporate type. I think Burch could easily fall into the trap of being a Justin Hammer clone.

 

[DaddlerTheDalek]

Some interesting updates!

 

[Abudefduf]

Wait, Michelle Pfeiffer is Janet?

So glad they didn't pick Stone.

I'm so happy they got an age-appropriate actress. I was worried they were gonna pull some bullcrap and say time stops in the Microverse or something as an excuse to cast a 30-something year old as Jan.

Me too, that would have been awful. Especially if she is supposed to resume her relationship with Douglas' Pym.

 

[Iceman]

I LOVE Pfeiffer. Can't believe this news. Fishburne awesome too of course.
