Ant-Man
Marvel Studios is mastering their unbelievable deaging applied science and should apply it to an even large degree . Over the last several old age , MCU motion-picture show have brought dissimilar versions of known characters to the big covert through the use of visual effects . As they extend to show the capability to pull this off , there ’s several other projects that Marvel should apply this technology to .
This practice session get down inCaptain America : The Winter Soldierwhen Hayley Atwell was maturate up to play a expire Peggy Carter . Ever since then , there ’s been a bowed stringed instrument of photographic film that worked this engineering and fib telling equipment in . Ant - Manhad Michael Douglas as a untested Hank Pym and bring Atwell back as an quondam Peggy Carter;Captain America : Civil Warused B.A.R.F. to show off an 1980s - era Robert Downey , Jr.;Guardians of the Galaxy Vol . 2featured Kurt Russell as a untried Ego ; and nowAnt - Man and The Wasphad young Hank again and a young Janet van Dyne , played by Michelle Pfeiffer .

Next up , Captain Marvelwill take full vantage of this tech bydeaging Samuel L. Jacksonto the former days of Nick Fury as a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent . It ’ll also have Clark Gregg reprise his part as afresh recruit version of Phil Coulson . Now that Marvel ’s going all - in with deaging and using it on major character for the duration of a film , there ’s some exciting possibilities to explore . Let ’s talk about a few .
Original Ant-Man and Wasp
Since their appearances are saucy in our mind , give Hank and Janet a movie is the most obvious pick for what Marvel needs to do next . Their dangerous undertaking have been teased in both of theAnt - Manfilms , but they have n’t really gone beyond the 1987 mission to disarm a Soviet missile . Neither of the moving picture have straight tell how long they were heroes before this either , so there ’s potentially days of stories ready for exploration . Making this even more unique could be the eighty ( or even late-70s ) setting such a plastic film could take . Marvel explored the 1940s withCaptain America : The First Avengerand will tackle the1990s inCaptain Marvel , so this movie could open up another untapped time period in the MCU ’s history .

Marvel already has the reference points for Douglas and Pfeiffer anyway , so it ’d just be a affair of utilizing them for an full motion picture instead of abbreviated aspect . Even though such a prequel would n’t have the dealership ’s two main mavin , a opportunity to see Hank Pym and Janet van Dyne in their primes as heroes is fascinating . They could even bring back Laurence Fishburne to play a unseasoned Bill Foster , maybe even showing him suit up finally . Plus , reckon on when in the timeline it would take piazza , this could be another opportunity for Hayley Atwell to appear as Peggy Carter . There ’s even a prospect to further search Egghead , who was barely more than a name drop inAnt - Man and The Wasp . ConsideringMichael Douglasalready express his interest in this idea , hopefully Marvel jumps at this opportunity .
Stallone’s Guardians Prequel
One of the coolest possibilities , though , would be aGuardians of the Galaxyprequel / spinoff that also takes place decades in the past center on around Sylvester Stallone and Michael Rooker . guardian of the Galaxy Vol . 2did a lot of readiness up and spread out of the cosmos , including the introduction of Stallone as Starkar Ogord aka Starhawk . The continuation established a shivering past between he and Rooker ’s Yondu , one that in the past was settle down in friendship , or some form of brotherhood . By the end of the film , we learn that this fail far beyond just Starhawk and Yondu , and that they were actually part of a outer space traveling mathematical group all their own . The rest of the group is composed of Aleta Ogord ( Michelle Yeoh ) , Charlie-27 ( Ving Rhames ) , Martinex ( Michael Rosenbaum ) , Mainframe ( Miley Cyrus ) , and Krugarr . There ’s been teases by James Gunn that the group could riposte forGuardians of the Galaxy Vol . 3oreven a spinofffollowing the bunch in the present , but taking them back to their efflorescence could be the better alternative .
Such a movie would obviously give Marvel the fortune to show younger versions of Rooker , Stallone , Yeoh , and Rhames . Stallone is still a big name at this degree in his career , but the prequel stage setting allows for Rooker to retrovert course after becoming a buff pet inGuardians of the Galaxy Vol.2prior to his death . While there ’s certainly potential for some of these grapheme to be explore in present day moving-picture show , a prequel could really flesh out their ties to one another . If done successfully , this moving picture could makeYondu ’s sendoffeven more worked up since fans would then have an intellect of all the dependable clock time . Plus , who does n’t want to see a deaged Stallone in Starhawk ’s full get up fighting aliens ? And if Marvel really wanted to double down on the deaging , cameos from a younger Ego or peradventure even Benicio Del Toro as the Collector could forge .

Nick Fury or A S.H.I.E.L.D. Prequel
If Marvel Studios likes whatCaptain Marvelproduces though , then another labor that features the untried Nick Fury could come . A Nick Fury moving-picture show was actually part ofMarvel Studios ' initial lineup of statute title , but the project never made much procession . Even though Jackson is now ten class old than he was when he first took on this role , the deaging engineering science would provide him to re - search the character through a younger electron lens . Captain Marvelcould sate in enough gaps to make a true standalone a snatch redundant , but even then , a S.H.I.E.L.D. movie could work instead . It could be similar in whole step and execution asCaptain America : The Winter Soldier , but also allow for a much turgid cast of recur characters .

This could once again be an chance to bring back Hayley Atwell as Peggy Carter , peradventure even in a time period where she ’s still capable to get in on the action . The return of Hank Pym could be have too - if our antecedently proposed Hank and Janet prequel does n’t befall . possibly the best option , however , could be either concept ’s power to bring in back Robert Redford as a younger Alexander Pierce , further set up up their relationship prior toCaptain America : The Winter Soldier . If they really want to pack this film , Cobie Smulders ’s Maria Hill could seem too as a new recruit . Whether it come up in a Fury solo movie or a picture show focus on the earlier day of S.H.I.E.L.D. , Jackson playing a youthful version of Fury is an interesting change for the graphic symbol . In either film , the supporting cast could guarantee more intimate face that are interchange through the deaging tech .
Black Widow
Out of these suggestions , Black Widowis the only motion picture we know is actually in developing . Unlike the other films on this listing , though , Black Widow ’s lead character may not even need this tech . Despite debuting as Natasha Romanoff in 2010’sIron Man 2 , Scarlett Johansson can still portray a younger version of Black Widow ( as inAvengers : Age of Ultron ) , if her solo movie is in fact a prequel as reported . Details on the likelyBlack Widowmovie are thin , but reports havelinked Sebastian Stan ’s Winter Soldier to the filmtoo . Similar to Johansson , deaging Stan is n’t wholly necessary . There are ways to make each look youthful practically if the difference is more noticeable than expect too . or else , the deaging could come in with its supporting characters .
The plot ofBlack Widowreportedly follows her early sidereal day as she flees to the United States and prior to her days as a S.H.I.E.L.D. factor . However , the movie could still handle with S.H.I.E.L.D. in some regard . The common mould of theatrical role we ’ve mentioned before could certainly appear , specially a pre - Phase 1 looking Nick Fury . If there is one additional hypothesis that comes withBlack Widow , it may be with Jeremy Renner return as Clint Barton . While there were recent rumblings of apossible Hawkeye solo moving-picture show , this would be his most natural way to fit in . Some slight deaging effects could be employ in this instance , but there are n’t any major character who could use these enhancements . So , Black Widowisn’t reliant on this technology , but could be given a few extra MCU connections by using it .
-
These are just a few possibilities though and modest gain could be included in other movies . Marvel ’s invested a lot of time and resources in making this an effective part of their film , so as long as they can continue to pull them off , bear more deaging in the MCU ’s future .
