We Already Knew Team Ant-Man Has A Big Part In Avengers 4
Even beforeAnt - Man & The Waspbrought the Pyms back together , we get laid that Hank , Janet , Hope and Scott would be back inAvengers 4 . primed pic had Paul Rudd in a recreation ofthe Battle of New York fromThe Avengers , suggesting he ’ll be involved in the movie ’s prison term travel plot , whileleakedAvengers 4arthas since show up him alongside the survivors of Thanos ' snap ( and Captain Marvel ) , imply he ’s joining the main roster of Earth ’s Mightiest Heroes for the film .

The same is dependable of Evangeline Lilly , who has also hinted at her use in the plastic film . While the nature of their appearance is n’t clear ( and , as we ’ll see shortly , is even more complicated afterAnt - Man & The Wasp ) , this think there ’s going to be a right reunification .
Finally , anolder Cassie Lang , Scott ’s girl , has been cast forAvengers 4 , hinting both at a fourth dimension parachuting and opening move up the hypothesis of her taking on the Stature mantlepiece . Now the sequel ’s arrived , however , there ’s a set more to explore .

The movie maker behindAnt - Man & The Wasphave reiterate time and clock time again that fans should beat around for the film’stwo post - credits scenes . Of course , people normally stay for Marvel ’s traditional stinger anyway , but this latest pair were especially of import in regard toAvengers 4 .
Even the jokey end - recognition prospect , feature thegiant pismire meet the drums , offer up something important : a glimpse at a post - Infinity Warworld . Marvel has been retard in call the wake , with late MCU TV shows set before the galactic race murder . It ’s important to remember that after Thanos ' snap , there was n’t any institution whatsoever of its reverberation ; multitude just start out turn into debris and the movie ended .

Scott Trapped In The Quantum Realm Leads Directly To Avengers 4
However , it ’s the mid - credit scene that has the big association toAvengers 4 . As Hank , Janet , Hope manage Scott ’s travel to the Quantum Realm via the Quantum Tunnel , Thanos ' snap his finger , result in the Pyms disintegrating into debris while a clueless Scott is trapped in the alternate property . This confirms whereAnt - humankind 2comes in the timeline , but also serves as the most overt setup forAvengers 4we’ve yet got .
The key is Scott ’s predicament . Without anyone operating the Quantum Tunnel , it ’s currently unclear how Scott will be able to fall out of the microverse . There ’s the away opportunity someone who knows how to use the technical school likeGhost or Bill Foster(granted that they did n’t turn to rubble as well ) come up to save him , but otherwise he ’ll be strand down there for the foreseeable future .

Considering that the next MCU unveiling will also undertake the alternate proportion , it ’s unquestionably potential that Captain Marvel is also in the Quantum Realm ( and not in space as popular theories suggest ) . AsNick Fury sent Captain Marvel the distress signalat the same sentence that the Pyms were vaporized and Scott was trapped , it ’s potential that in her going she will arrive across Ant - Man and bring him with her on the quest against Thanos .
The other outcome is that Scott does it on his own . After all , he ’s escaped the Quantum Realm once before in the originalAnt - Man , and were he to somehow run afoul of one of the prison term vortexes Janet warn him about , he would be in the quality position to provide the Avengers with the knowledge of time traveling , thus starting their offense to unwrap Thanos ' attack . This would excuse the prominence of the Quantum Tunnel inAnt - Man & the Wasp : it institute that it was possible to jaunt to the alternate dimension without take to go subatomic or risk being trapped .
