With the Marvel Cinematic Universe now blooming with more and more characters, two Avengers movies, and an upcoming Ant-Man film the big question is; Where the hell is Wasp? The founding Avenger is nowhere to be seen. It has been noted that she was originally planned to be apart of the heroes for the first Avengers film, but taken out due to too much crowding.
The only possible character we have that could resemble the dynamic hero is Hope Van Dyne played by Evangeline Lily. It is very noticeable that Hope is spotting the classic Wasp hairstyle. Lily has revealed months ago that Janet Van Dyne was a MCU hero after all while discussing more about the role and the film. That makes us all wonder if we will get to watch Janet fighting alongside Hank Pym in flashbacks? Could we potentially see the two join the cast of a future season of Agent Carter? We do know that Agent Carter lives for a very long time and she will for a fact be making an appearance in Ant-Man. Could this be a huge connection? No one would be able to resist seeing an action sequence of these three heroes all kicking butt together.
Where is Janet in the present? A while ago it was revealed that there had been a "tragic accident" between Pym and his wife. A lot of people including myself presumed that she could now be deceased, however, what if this accident instead results into a divorce. If that is the case then what is she up to? If she did pass away is it possible that Marvel could bring the hero back from the dead? Characters drop like flies and always return in the comics (including the Wasp herself who was trapped in another dimension while presumed dead) so it wouldn't be too crazy to throw this option on the table.
Take into consideration that if Hank Pym is passing the mantle of Ant-Man to Scott Lang could this as well mean that the mantle of The Wasp could be passed to their daughter Hope? She is very well trained in fighting as she is teaching Lang how to throw a punch so we could easily see her putting on a costume. Hopefully Marvel doesn't take all these options and get a fly swatter to smack them away. It would absolutely be an insult to the fantastic character if there is no sign of her existing in the MCU and having a lasting presence.
