Once More, with Ant Man. Why him, and why now?

With Ant Man & The Wasp now released on DVD and Blu-Ray, people are struck again with how this movie might tie in with the greater Marvel oeuvre, and wonder anew why the light-weight Ant Man 2 arrived so closely after the heavy ending of Infinity War.

— Spoilers ahead for Avengers Infinity War and Ant Man & The Wasp —

Here’s a roundup of some intriguing articles addressing Ant Man, the Quantum Realm, and some conjecture about how to undo The Snap:

• Lingering Questions About Ant-Man and The Wasp – Sit down and relax, as this is a medium-long read from The Wrap. It poses some great questions about how the Ant Man movies tie into the problems facing our heroes in Avengers – Infinity War, particularly with the mid/end credits scenes in Ant Man and the Wasp, and the big questions of how the Quantum Realm (and time vortices) could mesh with the hoped-for solutions in the upcoming Captain Marvel film (coming March 2019) and the final Avengers chapter (still as-yet untitled).
• Another good  Wrap thought-piece: Could Ant Man Show Up in Captain Marvel?
• Vox has a great post dissecting Why Ant Man is the MCU’s Most Important Third-String Hero.
• Some little hints might lie in this deleted scene on the AM&TW Blu-Ray where Janet provides more insight on the Quantum Realm.
• Here on RunPee, we’ve got a small glut of pieces discussing Ant-Man, with the clear favorites here: Explaining the Importance of the End Credits on Ant-Man and the Wasp, How Ant Man Could Escape the Quantum Realm, and Why the Quantum Realm Will Solve the Problems of Avengers 4.
• Here’s the tag listing our articles about Ant-Man, and our great selection of posts on the Infinity War itself.
• It might help to re-acquaint yourself with who’s even left on the playing board by the calamitous end of Infinity War with our dissection on Who Died and Who Didn’t, The Five Movies to Watch Before Infinity War, and How the Remaining Avengers Will Get Off Titan.

Do you have any thoughts on how things could wrap up for Avengers 4, coming out next summer? At least we’ve got time to puzzle, conjecture, and, yes,  re-watch the 20 previous movies for scraps of clues. Feel free to comment below with your ideas. I promise to respond.

Brilliant idea with great information

I’ve been using RunPee for a few years now and it’s basically a requirement of going to the movies for me. The best part of course are the “pee times” that give you cues, synopses and times for when you can pee without missing the most important parts of the movie. There is also information about the credits- length, extras and if there are any extra scenes at the wayyy end. Super helpful to just know that it is or isn’t worth staying. There is a timer function that will buzz your phone when it’s a good time to pee. I also appreciate that the app is very conscientious about it being an app you use in a theater- dark background, all silent alarms etc. I will always enjoy the experience of the theater even if I could watch things at home- but I’ve even used it at home to check for things like after credit scenes or other information too.
