Ant-Man and The Wasp makes plenty of references to Captain America: Civil War but the movie doesn't catch up to the events of Avengers: Infinity War until a mid-credits scene which leaves Scott Lang trapped in the Quantum Realm and Hank Pym, Janet Van Dyne, and Hope Van Dyne all turned into dust after Thanos snapped his fingers in Wakanda and wiped out half of the universe's population.
Of the four characters who appeared in this sequence, 75% of them were dusted and when director Peyton Reed was asked how the decision was made when it came to who was going to die, it sounds like trapping Scott inside the Quantum Realm and leaving him all alone was a very deliberate decision.
"A big part of it was deciding who was going to be in that scene to begin with, because there was a version of that scene I think where it’s like, “OK, maybe Bill Foster is here as well, maybe Ava Starr is here as well.” We talked about versions with ― and maybe Luis, or whoever, it could’ve been anybody ― but then there’s a certain percentage issue that’s set up obviously in “Infinity War” that we couldn’t ignore. When we finally landed on the version that you saw, the final version in the movie, it just seemed right."
The fates of the other characters mentioned by Reed are currently a mystery and it's unlikely any of their fates will be addressed in Avengers 4, especially as there will be so much else going on! What do you guys think of how the scene played out at the end of Ant-Man and The Wasp? Sound off below.
