ANT-MAN AND THE WASP Will Introduce The Multiverse To The Marvel Cinematic Universe
Ant-Man and The Wasp will take us back into the Quantum Realm but star Evangeline Lilly has now revealed that we should expect to see the sequel introduce us to the entire Marvel Multiverse...
During a recent interview with Vanity Fair, Evangeline Lilly was quizzed on what's to come in Ant-Man and The Wasp and it sounds like the sequel is going to change the Marvel Cinematic Universe in a big way. Disney boss Bob Iger has already said that future Marvel movies might take place on different worlds and new time periods and introducing the concept of the Multiverse would facilitate that.
"Those characters are experts in the quantum realm," Lilly says when asked about where things go next for Hank Pym and Hope Van Dyne when we see them next. "In Ant-Man and the Wasp, they are trying everything in their power to safely enter the quantum realm and return back from it because they have evidence from the first film that Scott was able to do that. If he can do it, why can’t we?"
As for what that means for the Multiverse, the actress adds: "If we do succeed in Ant-Man and the Wasp, then that does open a whole entire new multi-verse to enter into and play around in. I’m not the story creator, so I can’t tell you what they’re going to do with that. But I definitely see the potential there." It sounds like this movie is definitely going to change the MCU in a huge way then.
Lilly then addressed her role in Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers 4 and it seems Ant-Man has a larger role than The Wasp. "I am [shooting both] but a lot less so than Paul. My character is a lot less prominent in Avengers than his is. I’ve only done one day on Avengers thus far, and then I do some more after I wrap on Ant-Man and the Wasp, but they will come back to back. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to leave Atlanta before I start shooting the Avengers. I think I’m stuck here until the New Year."
