Ant - Man & The Waspdebuted a classic Ant - Man villain from the comics , Elihas Starr aka . Egghead , who may toy a part in the Marvel subfranchise ’s next story . bang primarily as an antagonist to Hank Pym ’s personification of the shrinking hero , Elihas is a smart as a whip government research nuclear scientist who was dismissed when he was caught for espionage - a very standardized characterization to his established backstory in the MCU , but it turns out that he ’s also Ghost / Ava ’s father .
The introduction of Elihas inAnt - Man & The Waspfirst garnered attention even before the motion picture wave out in theaters . Thanks to therelease of the full mould list forAnt - Man & The Waspdays before the motion-picture show ’s theatrical debut , it was reveal thatFringealumMichael Cerveris was playing Egghead . Of course , at that point his role in the film was still unnamed , but now that the sequel is formally in theaters , fans have a better sensory faculty of how he fits into Ant - Man ’s chronicle .
Marvel could ’ve picked any random lineament ( or even made up a new one for the movie ) as Ava ’s founding father and it would in all likelihood have had the same shock , considering thatAnt - Man & The Waspdidn’t really dig too much into Elihas ' history with Hank . So why take someone who ’s a known Ant - Man antagonist in the cartoon strip and base his appearing in the character in the cartoon strip ? chance are that Marvel Studios is planning to explore more of Elihas tarradiddle in the future - perhaps inAnt - Man 3 .
According to Ava , her father strain rebuilding his name after his reputation was defile by Hank send away him from SHIELD . manifestly , there ’s a lot to take out in that specific time , particularly since there ’s a discord between Hank ’s and Ava ’s tale - specifically , Hank ’s reveal that he fired Elihas for steal his ideas . Marvel can delve into the undiscovered constituent of Hank and Janet ’s former daysstudying the Quantum Realm , include their fallout with Elihas , which besides would allow them to establish whether he ’s really a bad guy or just a victim of spoiled consideration . moot that Ava seemed to be in honest term with the Pyms by the goal ofAnt - Man & The Wasp , it appears that Hank was telling the truth . Still , it would be intriguing to know what kind of shenanigans Elihas was up to . Perhaps after he was terminated from his berth at S.H.I.E.L.D. , he actually turned pure evil and assumed the persona of Egghead , just like in the comic .
If Marvel Studios is more concerned in the future of the Pyms , there ’s also a way to incorporate Elihas Starr in their story : by have him thesurprise villainforAnt - Man 3 . Aside from Ghost , Ant - Man 2also have another villain , Walton Goggins ' black market monger , Sonny Burch . However , most of the metre , he feel out of place , as if there ’s more to his floor than being a square goon . He kept talking about his clients who are interested in the Quantum engineering that the Pyms have , but it was never bring out who he was dealing with . Obviously , he could be solve for any generic corporate bad cat , but considering the chronicle of Elihas try out to steal Hank ’s work , it have a lot of sense if he ’s reveal to be Burch ’s purchaser .
Now , Ava did say that both her parent have give out during one of her father ’s lab misadventure , but of course , Marvel Studios can easy whip an explanation to this plot twist . Perhaps Elihas may have faked his end ( not uncommon in the MCU ) and since the has been operating underground as Egghead . Should this be the case , Ant - Man 3can continue harness the running theme of the forefather - girl relationship with Ghost and Elihas - which is not only unlike compare to Scott and Cassie ’s , and Hank and Hope ’s , but also far more complex now that Ava has come over to the good guys ' side .
