Ant-Man
WithAnt - Man and The Waspofficially in theaters , director Peyton Reed teases that originalAnt - Manvillain , Yellowjacket , may still be alert . Though the continuation sees Scott Lang team up with The Wasp ( Evangeline Lilly ) in fiat to tackle a threat of an whole different skill - place in Ghost ( Hannah John - Kamen ) , the first film operated as a very traditional origin report by MCU standard , with the nominal Ant - Man square off against a villain with abilities identical to his own .
The fictitious character of Darren Cross ( Corey Stoll ) , who subsequently take over the form of address ( and suit ) of the villainous Yellowjacket , was last insure in the climactic second ofAnt - mankind . Having taken Cassie , the daughter of Scott Lang , surety , he was confronted by the second - generation Ant - Man . On the verge of defeat , Scott was forced to go sub - atomic so as to infiltrate the Yellowjacket armour . Sabotaging it , the case set about to shrivel uncontrollably , leading to Cross ’s apparent dying .

talk toScreen Junkies , however , Reed has revealed that affair may not be as they seem , and that Yellowjacket may still be mill around out there somewhere . When questioned about the notorious trend of disposal villain in the MCU , and the tendency of early installments to kill them off , he had this to say :
" Well , I mean , you guys are make a massive assumption . There ’s an assumption here that I ’m not quite prosperous with . If you watch his end in the first Ant - Man , the suit is compromised … he shrinks and goes into a thing . I imply , he could be somewhere down there in that quantum kingdom . "
While this is far from substantiation that Yellowjacket will eventually repay in the MCU , it ’s interesting to intend about . At the moment , the movies have yet to bring back their stagnant villain . On the page , everybody from Iron Man to Bucky Barnes have embark back and forth from the after life . In the films , though , death seemed to stick … for the most part . That could all be about to change in the backwash ofAvengers : Infinity WarandAvengers 4 . Spider - Man , after all , was seen to perish as a result of Thanos ’s notorious snap , but Tom Holland is already knockout at work onSpider - Man : Far From Home . likewise , it would be hard to imagineGuardians of the Galaxy Vol . 3wrapping up James Gunn ’s cosmic trilogy as anInfinity Warprequel .
While it had already been confirmedYellowjacket would n’t return forAnt - Man and The Wasp , it ’s certainly possible for him to come back in the future . Reed ’s reference to the Quantum Realm is particularly noteworthy . After all , it ’s no arcanum that people can survive in the Quantum Realm for decennium , with Janet Van Dyne ( Michelle Pfeiffer ) having been trapped there since before the events ofAnt - Man . While fan were n’t especially bewitch with Yellowjacket - especially when compared to such scoundrel as Loki and Erik Killmonger - there is certainly likely for bringing things full - circlein a potentialAnt - Man 3 . And while Peyton Reed himself expressed ( and then retracted)a disfavor for Yellowjacket , there could be ample chance for the director to revise and repurpose the character , this metre with a singular vision . Plus , the effects of being immobilise in the Quantum Realm can turn him into a much more acceptable , compelling , and potentially even terrifying figure .
