RUMOR: Here's How SPIDER-MAN And OsCorp Will Factor Into Marvel's ANT-MAN
The new Spider-Man will make his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut in Captain America: Civil War next year, but Ant-Man will apparently be where we first hear about the wall-crawler's existence! This is a rumour for now, but hit the jump for all the latest details...
Edgar Wright's Ant-Man screenplay was subject to a number of rewrites both before and after his departure from the movie, and Latino-Review is reporting that various tweaks were still being made as shooting continued (which is perfectly normal, especially with Marvel Studios based on what we've heard in the past). Here's where things get really exciting/interesting though. Those changes apparently included the first Spider-Man mentions in the Marvel Cinematic Universe!
Spider-Man already exists by the time Ant-Man takes place, and the site says that, "We've heard an unconfirmed rumor there is "lots of" talk of/references to Spider-Man and OsCorp in the current version of Ant-Man." They go on to mention that Darren Cross is attempting to sell the Yellowjacket technology to various corporations, so it's likely there that OsCorp will come into play. Does that mean we're going to get a third version of Norman Osborn? We'll have to wait and see...
