Ant - Man and the Waspleaves behind some big unreciprocated query .

A self - check adventure about the grandness of mob , Ant - Man and the Wasphas a much smaller exfoliation and is a more aboveboard narrative compare toAvengers : Infinity War . However , the photographic film definitely ties into the bully Marvel Cinematic Universe , and generate some magnanimous questions that it does n’t fully accost about what will happen going onward . Since fans ca n’t shoot the filmmakers with truth blood serum , the following unanswered questions are leave alone lingering until ( some of ) the result hopefully come inAvengers 4 .
So Many Questions About JANET VAN DYNE
The most urgent questions fromAnt - adult male and the Wasprevolve around Janet Van Dyne and her prison term in theQuantum Realm . The original Wasp was lost in the tardy 1980s when she went subatomic during a mission for S.H.I.E.L.D. ; she was presume dead for 30 class but somehow survived in the Quantum Realm that whole clock time - yet how exactly is never handle with in the photographic film . Janet was wearing her Wasp suit when she was lost in the microverse , but when Hank finally receive her , she is somehow wearing a beige hooded shawl and carries some form of metal arm . Where did she recover those point in the Quantum Realm ? What did she use up and where did she be for decades?Ant - Man and the Waspglosses over all of those questions ( and more ) and never provides any explanations .
Somehow the Realm modify Janet and gave her a new lot of unspecified abilities : she was able to"place an antenna"in Scott ’s mind while he was momently lose in the microverse to lead her family to her , and by and by judgment - melded with him via"Quantum entanglement " . Janet recount Hank that the changes she underwent in the other proportion were partly"adaptation"but more about"evolution " . lamentably , with Janet languish to dust along with Hank and Hope at the end of the film , fans might have to wait a long time for the answer to how Janet survived and changed in the Quantum Realm .
WHAT IS THE TIME VORTEX?
While the specific are indecipherable , time works strangely in the Quantum Realm . The enquiry of how the Avengers might shoot down Thanos inAvengers 4could have been answered with two simple Word uttered by Janet in the mid - credits aspect : prison term vortexes . From what little Janet explain about the Quantum Realm and its layout , we learn there is a vast wasteland called the Void and a tardigrade field inhabited by the microscopic creatures , but she also warns Scott to keep off the"time vortexes " . fan may have already glimpsed the effects of the time vortex when Hank was in the Quantum Realm and was nearly driven mad by the experience : he imagined himself back in his base in the 1980s before Janet discover him and cure him .

With Scott entrap at the close ofAnt - Man and the Wasp , it ’s possible that participate a time vortex might be his just the ticket out of his predicament . It would presumably reserve him to exit the Realm by jumping to another point in the past ( like how it ’s been leak thatAnt - Man join the Battle of New Yorkin the firstAvengersfilm ) or in the future to see his girl Cassie ( who has beenrecast as a 16 - class - onetime inAvengers 4 ) . It ’s also potential the time whirl is the key to the whereabouts of Captain Marvel .
HOW DO QUANTUM HEALING PARTICLES WORK?
Janet ’s newfound abilities are tied to the mysterious"healing particles"found in the Quantum Realm . Janet display the ability to use the healing molecule double : she cured Hank ’s rabies in the Realm and she was also able-bodied to stabilize Ghost ’s molecules and stop her annoyance from her unvarying phasing . However , Janet ’s abilities seem to only exercise temporarily ; the end of Team Ant - Man in the mid - credits scenery was to send Scott back into the Quantum Realm to collect more healing particles .
How the healing particles really knead and what Scott will do with the tin of the energy he collect before he got trap in the Quantum Realm is unknown . Could the healing molecule be used to revive Vision even without the Mind Stone ? Could they somehow bring back someone turned to dust byThanos ' finger elasticity ? HopefullyAvengers 4will provide some answer .

WHY IS SCOTT LANG DUMBER THAN HE WAS IN ANT-MAN?
Scott Lang is as lovable as ever inAnt - Man and the Wasp , but the self - described"screw up"doesn’t quite seem like the same serviceman fan take on inAnt - Man . Scott keen the misapprehension he made that lead to his mansion arrest but he laudably project himself into being a great father to his adoring daughterCassie(Abby Ryder Fortson ) . However , Scott ’s smart and ingenuity are downplayed and he ’s jarringly dumbed down when he ’s back in action with Hope and Hank . partially , this is to emphasize Hope ’s accomplishment and brain to make her worthy of her Centennial State - charge in the film ’s title , but Ant - Man ends up come off as not much more than a likable action hero while Hope and Hank are therealbrains of the operation .

Then inAnt - Man and the Wasp , Scott often sound off that Hank , Hope , and Dr. Bill Foster ’s ( Laurence Fishburne ) debates about Quantum mechanics go over his head ( there ’s even a little retcon where Hank describes meeting Scott as Scott"breaking into"his house or else of what really happened : it was all a test prepare up by Hank to try out Scott and measure his science to be Ant - Man - which he pass with fly colors ) . Scott Lang is much brighter and more competent thanAnt - Man and the Waspgives him credit for . Why does the film downplay Scott ’s overall nous and talents ?

One of the cause Scott invalidate being permanently lock up in the Raft was because he hold that the Ant - Man technical school belong to to Dr. Hank Pym ; Hank never registered his Pym Particle applied science in infringement of the Accords , which resulted in himself and Hope forced to populate on the run as fugitive .
But why is Scott allowed to be part of X - Con Security - a company owned and operated by ex - bunco like his friendLuis(Michael Pena ) ? As a condition of his sign arrest , Scott is prohibit to link with any known felon , which includes the Pym family unit . But not only does Scott operate a business concern ( literally call X - Con ) with former criminals , Luis seems to inhabit in Scott ’s menage ( he comes into the living way wearing pajamas in one scene ) . The regular monitoring by FBI Agent Jimmy Woo ( Randall Park ) bizarrely allows these crying violations and Woo only seems concerned in raid Scott for being Ant - valet again . It seems like Scott somehow set up the most lenient supplication steal in the short account of the Sokovia Accords .

Hopefully , Sonny Birch will reappear in a future film so fan can see out more .

WHY DOESN’T TEAM ANT-MAN ACKNOWLEDGE AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR?
Ant - Man and the Wasp ’s disgraceful mid - deferred payment scene directlyconnects toAvengers : Infinity War , take place duringAvengers 3’sclimax . While Team Ant - Man sends Scott back to the Quantum Realm to collect healing particle , Thanos arrived in Wakanda , collected the Mind Stone to complete the Infinity Gauntlet , and snapped his finger to pass over out half of all life in the population . The mid - credits scene is designed to hide this reveal from the audience to make maximum surprisal when Hank , Hope , and Janet all slicing to rubble , unbeknown to Scott , who is trapped in the microverse .
However , once the aim of daze note value is taken into account , themid - credits sceneitself is strange . By this point , our heroes would have know that New York City was attacked by noncitizen and that Tony Stark among others disappeared into outer space - it was global news . Not only does this seem like a foreign time to comport a Quantum Realm experiment , but Team Ant - Man are all unusually tranquil and unconcerned about the alien invasion . It ’s especially leftover that Scott is his usual jovial self and does n’t seem worried about his friend in the Avengers . However , only a few minute afterward , Ant - Man has his own mammoth problem to deal with : how will he escape the Quantum Realm ?
