So there's a fact that Edgar Wright has stated about the Ant-Man movie in past
interviews that it seems that some people have overlooked (if you caught it, then
bravo-- it's fairly obvious anyway): he plans to have Hank Pym as Ant-Man "in
the 60s, Tales to Astonish style", with Scott Lang as the modern Ant-Man.
Okay. That's all good and well right? But despite him saying that, some people are still expecting a Hank/Janet cameo in Avengers and that won't work out if Wright gets his movie. Why? Well, if Pym is to be Ant-Man in the 60s then it's highly like that Janet would have been Wasp in that same time period. What's the problem with that? If Pym is 60s Ant-Man then he'll be quite old in the modern setting of Avengers and, if her character is kept intact, Janet will likely be old too.
So if Hank and Janet are old heroes, then we should be expecting a Scott Lang cameo in Avengers over a cameo from the Pyms. Therefore, any disappointed by the news that Ant-Man wouldn't figure into the Avengers out of love for the original line-up should be even more disappointed, as the Pyms may not ever appear alongside the Avengers at any point in any future movies either.
Now, I could be wrong. Perhaps I'm reading to much into what Wright said, and he didn't mean it in the way that I'm thinking. Perhaps somebody else theorized this months ago-- if that's the case, sorry. Haven't been around here that long.
Besides, Wright also said that he's going to work on a second draft of the script, so what held true then may not hold true now. What say you? Let me know below!
