Reveal the Wasp's future role in Marvel movies
Following "Avengers 2", another Marvel superhero movie "Ant-Man" is about to be released next month, through guò's current plot revelations, we know that the film focuses on the creation of the new Ant-Man Scott Long, who is the new rising Ant-Man hero after the old Ant-Man Hank Pym. However, it was a pity that another superhero Wasp, who was supposed to have a big role, was just a trick in the film.
The Wasp, whose real name is Janet Pan Dain, is the daughter of a scientist and the former wife of the first "Ant-Man" Hank Pym. Her father was killed by alien creatures, and in order to avenge his father, she used the "Pym particles" invented by Pym, so that her genes were altered, her body could be large or small, and she grew wings, and her hands could release powerful electrical impulses. The Wasp is a founding member of Marvel Comics' League of Legends Avengers.
However, in the movie "Ant-Man", Janet Pan Dain was reported to be only a small role in the film, just to become the cause of Pym's anxiety after death, and many fans immediately broke their hearts to participate in the discussion on Tumblr and Twitter with the title "Who is the murderer of Janet".
But is the death of the Wasp just a little trick by Marvel to set up suspense? Is the fact that the Wasp didn't die? Both Marvel Comics and movies based on Marvel Comics actually have an interesting premise: tentative death. For example, in the "Captain America" movie, Captain America slept for 70 years; "Thor 2" Loki's death in hallucinations; In "Guardians of the Galaxy", Tree Groot sacrificed himself to become a tree spirit, surrounded everyone, and at the end of the film, I saw him grow into a small tree and come back to life; Coulson in "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." is miraculously resurrected after being injected with alien serum. So Will The Wasp come back to life at the end of the movie? In the Marvel Comics event "Secret Invasion", she was indeed blown up, at least, on the surface. When the Krull pretends to be Pym, she uses her ability to change her size to create a bomb, and then she involuntarily grows in size, entering the Microverse level, where she is trapped for a brief period of time, before she recovers to the required small size.
What exactly is the Microverse level? According to Marvel Comics' Encyclopedia Wiki: "The Microverse is a plane that can compress a giant object through guò to become a point, and this point will become an artificial channel, and through guò this channel can enter another cosmic space from the earth." "Essentially, the Pym particles that the Wasp discovered, as well as the serum of the Crewes, and Thor's magic, caused her to travel through different dimensions after the explosion of the bomb she had made. She never died—she just stayed in the wrong place.
In addition, we can also vaguely feel that the Wasp is not dead from the words of Marvel President Kevin Feige, he said: "There are some tragedies that happened to the Wasp, but we will see Janet Pan Dain appear in this film and find out what will happen to her." Although this message suggests, Janet Pan Dain, like her daughter, has a strong sense of action, and may even be a superhero in her own story, like the story of this character in a comic book. If the Wasp is blown up or "dead" in the movie, it is entirely possible that Pym particle technology will help her escape this with the help of Microverse. What's more, Fitch's vague disclosure—"something like this happens"—implies that there are more tragedies going on than you see with your eyes.
You may be wondering what made me jump into the topic of the microverse plane right away? I'm glad you asked this question. The Marvel Universe has stretched to every inch of Earth, and then to the farthest reaches of the universe; Logically, microverse is the next step. In another interview, Feige shared this anecdote when trying to explain the importance of Ant-Man in the Marvel Universe movies and when it should be included in the Marvel's Avengers, and even - this is the weird part, you shouldn't talk about it, because for many years you can't explain the principle of this plane - but the whole concept of the quantum realm and the concept of traveling to different planes is as difficult to comprehend as chicken soup for the soul is difficult to guess about its efficacy. He uses the phrase "quantum realm" in the same sense, and he uses the word "plane", so he's not talking about equipment or some form of tourism, but about a place. In addition, he directly connects the quantum realm to the Pym particle in Ant-Man, much like Janet's unintentional escape route in the comics. In the comics, Pym may not even be aware of the existence of this alternative substance. If we're lucky, the speed of time in this quantum realm will be different, and it's possible that Janet's time will stay in her youth, despite the passage of time on Earth.
There is another small problem in Feige's introduction: the concept of the "quantum realm" will not be clear for several years. At this moment, an unknown actress was chosen to play the Wasp; We will see what her face looked like behind a set of goggles before the tragic events. If the quantum realm, the so-called microverse plane, will not surface for a few years, then, that is, the fate of this character has not yet been finalized in the Marvel studio, and a suitable actress has not been found to play this role. However, this doesn't necessarily say anything about Janet's ultimate purpose, or the possibility of her appearing in a sequel to "Ant-Man" or other Marvel hero movies.
The Wasp's first screen appearance should have actually come earlier. Joss Whedon actually designed the concept image of the Wasps in the draft of the "Avengers 1" movie. But in the end, the Avengers characters changed their plans, perhaps considering Wright's original plan, but the truth remained: they intended the Wasp to appear more widely in Marvel hero movies. So there's a high chance that she'll be left in another space, and Janet's daughter Hope will become the Wasp in place of her mother, appear in movies other than "Ant-Man" or develop a new superhero of her own.
But why did fans make all the fuss about finally having Hope replace the Wasp? First, Janet is a complete individual in the Avengers team, in fact, she coined the name The Wasp; In addition, Janet was one of the earliest heroines in Marvel Comics and one of the founders of the Avengers. For a while, was the only female avenger. She's a core member of the team, and now that Ant-Man has her own blockbuster, it feels as if she's the only Founding Avenger hidden in the snow, appearing on screen just to get a bento. Marvel Studios has always created very few female heroes, and there is even less respect for a female hero like the Wasp, who has a complete personality, as if they can't stand the harassment of this heroine with a pivotal position in the comics. As the only person other than her daughter who can wear the Wasp's uniform, she will not be so easily replaced by another character, or even out, even if it is her own daughter, in fact, her daughter really has very few roles in the comic book series. If Janet is truly dead in the movie, it can only be said that the prejudice and cold treatment of women in Marvel Studios from before to the present is simply too much to mention, not to mention the upcoming "Captain Marvel" movie, many people can see that the film focuses on too little and too late. There is no excuse for cutting Janet's scene.
I hope that Marvel can pay attention to the opinions of fans and give the Wasp the honor and status she deserves, rather than just making her a dragon character.
