Warning: Contains spoilers for Ant-Man and the Wasp.
This summer’s Ant-Man sequel directly relates to the devastating events of Infinity War, and now director Peyton Reed has waxed lyrical about that connection.
With Thanos’ apocalyptic finger-snapping wiping out half of Earth’s population, Ant-Man and the Wasp‘s mid-credits scene gave us a look at who this affected in Scott Lang’s tightly knit group.
Hank Pym, Hope van Dyne and her mother Janet all succumb to the Mad Titan’s destructive powers, leaving Ant-Man himself trapped in the Quantum Realm.
According to Heroic Hollywood, Reed recently discussed that shocking twist, stating: “Oh, where are they now? What’s happening in this tag? They’re doing some type of quantum experiment, there’s Luis’s van — throwing all these things at the audience immediately to catch them off guard.
“Janet’s in street clothes and he’s in the Ant-Man suit, Hope’s handing him something, what are they doing? Something about Ghost? And then, bam, just punching the audience in the gut with it. It felt like a very Ant-Man and the Wasp way to deal with this gigantic, dramatic happening at the end of Infinity War.”
Paul Rudd’s microscopic hero has previously escaped the psychedelic dungeon that is the Quantum Realm, but now it’s coming to light that Avengers 4 may have a use for Ant-Man’s sticky situation. It has something to do with time-vortex’s.
We’ll have to wait until next year to find out, when the Infinity War sequel hits the big screen.
