admonition : despoiler forAnt - Man and the Wasp !
-
Ant - Man and the Wasp ’s shocking mid - credits scene hints at a major connectedness toCaptain Marvel . As the follow - ups to the MCU - altering events ofAvengers : Infinity War , Ant - Man and the WaspandCaptain Marvelare both prequels set before Thanos ' successful quest to assemble the Infinity Stones . The mighty Captain Marvel does n’t seem and is not mentioned inAnt - Man and the Wasp , but the flick ’s climactic moments could propose a major jot at the missing Carol Danvers . Of of course , it necessitate the secret Quantum Realm .
At theend ofAnt - Man and the Wasp , Scott Lang ( Paul Rudd ) , Hope Van Dyne ( Evangeline Lilly ) , and Hank Pym ( Michael Douglas ) deliver the goods in their mission to recover Janet Van Dyne ( Michelle Pfeiffer ) from the Quantum Realm . The original Wasp is about 30 geezerhood older than she was when she disappeared , and she has expectedly changed : she possess Quantum healing powers , which she used to resetGhost ’s ( Hannah John - Kamen)molecules to keep her from for good phase out of world . Janet remains a superb scientist and she by and by helped Hank build a miniaturized variation of his Quantum Tunnel which go in the back of a vanguard . Their new delegation in theend - credits sceneis to send Scott into the Quantum Realm to call up Quantum healing energy to further aid Ghost .

Here ’s where it bring forth interesting : prior to Scott entering the Tunnel , Janet gives him a few instruction : deflect the tardigrade flying field , which Hank ran into when he insert the Quantum Realm , and stick by from the"time vortex" . Scott mind her warning and his mission is a success , but unbeknown to Ant - Man , Janet , Hope , and Hank all evanesce to dust as a result ofThanos ' finger snap . This leaves Scott trapped in the Quantum Realm with seemingly no way to refund ( unless he add a blue disc for his regulator , which is how he was capable to turn tail the Realm the first time in the originalAnt - Man ) . The film ends with Scott on the face of it lost in the microverse , just like Janet was … and Captain Marvel possibly is .
It ’s been corroborate thatCaptain Marvelwill revisit the Quantum Realm , though the way of which is n’t yet unknown . Here ’s where Janet name - dropping the time vortex could be hugely substantial . Time travel will be a key component to next year’sAvengers 4,but it may also explicate where Captain Marvel has been for the retiring three decades . Could Carol Danvers ' disappearance be tied to her somehow traveling through the sentence whirlpool ? This would explain why Brie Larson ’s character does n’t look to age over the preceding three decades . As for the gimmick Nick Fury used to contact her before pass off to rubble in theend - credits scene ofAvengers : Infinity War , if Carol is somewhere in the prison term vortex , Fury ’s ability to summon her could point that she is mayhap there by choice and thus can pop off at will .
We know from Janet ’s endurance in theQuantum Realmfor 30 class that it ’s potential , even without time travel . There are even hint of further life beyond tardigrades : just before Hank and Janet leave the Quantum Realm , there is what is likely a domed city in the corner of the screen . Everyone who has delineate the Quantum Realm has forebode it an endless void where nothing exists , yet it seems there is some form of animation there , leave it capable for other characters to have inhabited it .
Captain Marvelshould ( hopefully ) provide fans with all of the answers to her whereabouts between the 1990s andAvengers : Infinity War . As thing stand now , Ant - Man is lost in the Quantum Realm and thus in the prime military position to be the first to encounter Carol Danvers before theymeet up with Earth ’s Mightiest Heroes inAvengers 4 .
