The tease at the destruction of theAnt - Man and the Waspcredits ready Marvel Studios ' silence around which heroes will come back inAvengers 4more confusing for movie rooter . Thecliffhanger ending ofAvengers : Infinity Warleft half the Marvel Cinematic Universe dead , with Thanos ' snap balancing the known universe by pass over out half its occupants . SinceInfinity Warpremiered , those involve withAvengers 4have remain adamantine the heroeswho were dusted are n’t needfully give out to return ( despite Tom Holland filmingSpider - mankind : Far From HomeandGuardians of the Galaxy Vol . 3stars support their involvement in the threequel ) .
Marvel Studios ' " dead " hero gimmickgets all the more complicated with the late release ofAnt - Man and the Wasp . Much of the movie is set prior to theevents ofInfinity Warand , in fact , deals more with the fallout of 2016’sCaptain America : Civil War . However , theAnt - Man and the Wasppost - credits scenesdirectly bind intoInfinity War , bring out Hank Pym , Hope van Dyne and Janet van Dyne were sprinkle by Thanos ' press stud , leaving Scott Lang immobilise in the Quantum Realm in advance ofAvengers 4 . Further , at the very ending of theAnt - Man and the Waspcredits , there ’s a blind that reads,“Ant - Man and the Wasp will return,“with a question mark appear after a moment . So what does that signify forAvengers 4 ?

For casual MCU fan , the"will return"line may be more perplexing than anything else , since looker just saw both versions of the Wasp - Hope and Janet - disintegrate into dust . Of course , it ’s possible that a new version of the Wasp appears inAvengers 4(or another succeeding Marvel picture ) . Or , since time moves differently in the Quantum Realm , Scott could run into a former interlingual rendition of the Wasp who will help him get away the microverse and team up up with Earth ’s Mightiest Heroes . What keeps the"will return"card from straight off confirming heroes dusted by Thanos ' snap fastener will return inAvengers 4is the question mark that seem at the end of the line .
Those who follow news about the MCU ’s movies closely , especially news of upcoming button , know it ’s unlikely all the characters who pall inAvengers : Infinity Warwill stay beat . Thanos ' pushover lead the original Avengers alive - with a handful of ally - while newer heroes sting the dust . But character like Tom Holland ’s Spider - Man and Chadwick Boseman ’s Black Panther are wait to be the futurity of the MCU , meaning they ’ll somehow want to return . If they can return , why ca n’t all the other graphic symbol who were dusted counter as well ? However , instead of allowing that some , if not all the hero will revert inAvengers 4 , Marvel Studios has chosen to double down on the secrecy regarding the Phase 3 capper andInfinity War’s"dead"heroes .
As a resultant , thoughAnt - Man and the Wasp’sending tease that both Ant - Man and the Wasp"will return?“was likely signify as a lingua - in - face nod toAvengers : Infinity WarandAvengers 4 , it have the gulf between Marvel Studios and Marvel fans even worse . Marvel wants fans to believe the hoagy who died inInfinity Warare really idle because that give the movie ’s ending more weight , and will make their return that much more surprising . However , Marvel fans already recognise certain heroes will return - it ’s just a matter of how many and which characters will be revived .
In fact , we already know for certain that Hope van Dyne will be revived sinceLilly confirm her Wasp is inAvengers 4 . So , Marvel Studios may be trying to keepAvengers 4as enigma as possible , and theAnt - Man and the Waspending minx ensures fans are still ( mostly ) in the dark - but that ’s not necessarily a good thing .
