Can Wasp be secretly introduced in Ant-Man?



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.

The instrumental ways of incorporating Monica Rambeau into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.






It has been noticed for a while that Marvel is heavily lacking in important female characters for their cinematic universe. Lately, we have been seeing a rise in female characters with Agent Carter being currently in production for a second season, Mockingbird and other ladies on Agents of Shield, Scarlet Witch being added to the roster of the Avengers, the announcement of the Captain Marvel movie, and even Jessica Jones getting her own Netflix series that'll air later this year.

With these wonderful additions this makes it now the perfect time to bring in Monica Rambeau. It is a fact that there aren't really any black women who exist in the cinematic universe so far, and we need to change that very quickly.

In the comics she held the mantle of Captain Marvel and even lead the Avengers for a good amount of time. Even though it has been confirmed that Carol Danvers will be the lead of the Captain Marvel movie, why can't Marvel still introduce her in the film? They could have her train Carol, or still be an influential character in the movie. What if they show her as a previous hero in flashbacks and have her pass the mantle to Carol like with what Marvel is going to do with Hank Pym and Scott Lang in Ant-Man. They wouldn't need to age that much either she could still be roughly the same age as Carol. There are many different roles she could have with aiding Carol.

IF Rambeau were to be introduced in that film this could open up the doors of many ways she could play other roles within the Universe. They could very well add her to the list of heroes that will be putting up a fight against Thanos in Infinity Wars. They are going to need all the help they can get. Maybe we could eventually see Rambeau leading her own team of Avengers someday.

If they don't plan on going that route they could have Monica lead her own Nextwave team as a Netflix original. Daredevil is doing profoundly way better than everyone expected, and after the New Defenders mini series airs people will want another superhero team show to be on Netflix. They only questionable character for them to add to the show would be Boom Boom with her being a Mutant that is primarily involved in x-men related titles, and most likely owned by Fox.

If Marvel isn't able to obtain the rights of Boom Boom there is the option of having a Marvel Divas Netflix show.


Hellcat will be one of the main characters in Jessica Jones, and there hasn't been any word as to if she would join the main cast of heroes of the New Defenders Mini Series with her being a member of the team in the comics. Marvel now shares the rights of Black Cat and Firestar with Sony. All four characters are available for use making the possibilities of this show more likely.

With all of the Spider-Man movies that have existed there hasn't been a Black Cat on screen. They did have Felicia Hardy play a minor role in the Amazing Spider-Man 2, however, she had never received the chance to wear the costume. Marvel now has the advantage of bringing Black Cat to life. Firestar being another Avenger could very well win the hearts of many fans as she for a time struggles with Cancer. It is in fact a central plot line for the Marvel Divas mini series.

Monica will certainly be a fantastic character to join the ranks of the leading heroes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
