Easter Eggs

After Avengers: Infinity War&nbsp;ripped out our hearts and left an infinity gauntlet-sized hole in the Marvel Cinematic Universe,&nbsp;Ant-Man and the Wasp&nbsp;serves as a much needed palette cleanser. At it's core, the&nbsp;sequel is pure fun, and that extends to the Easter eggs in Ant-Man and the Wasp. <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/facts-and-trivia-about-the-marvel-cinematic-universe/stephanroget" target="_blank">MCU Easter eggs</a> abound in virtually every film in the greater Marvel canon, and Ant-Man and the Wasp is no exception.It's actually a little easier to spot the hidden jokes and references&nbsp;since&nbsp;there's no need to emotionally brace yourself for a galactic calamity. But even with all the extra brainpower audiences can spend looking for Easter eggs, it's unlikely that audiences noticed everything on the first viewing, so it's worth a&nbsp;look into&nbsp;what you didn't notice in Ant-Man and the Wasp.

Scott Lang's Ant-Man lends himself to fan theories more than almost any other MCU character.&nbsp;With his ability to shrink down to microscopic sizes and explore&nbsp;the inner workings of universes much smaller than our&nbsp;own, the doors for&nbsp;unsolved Ant-Man mysteries are&nbsp;wide open. It's no wonder fans were able to catch so many <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/antman-easter-eggs/jacob-shelton" target="_blank">Ant-Man Easter eggs</a>, given that the shrinking premise is designed to hide things in plain sight.&nbsp;As long as the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/every-character-from-the-marvel-cinematic-universe-ranked?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Marvel Cinematic Universe</a> gears keep turning, so will the Ant-Man fan theories. All those <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/ant-man-trivia-facts/coy-jandreau&nbsp;" target="_blank">unanswered questions from Ant-Man</a> have been thoroughly explored - leading up to hardcore conspiracies&nbsp;and suspicions about the plot of Ant-Man and the Wasp.The ability to enter a realm where space and time become irrelevant leaves holes in more than just math and physics. Fan theories about Ant-Man and the Wasp attempt to fill those holes with explanations, and make sense of a vast and astounding&nbsp;world full of Marvel mysteries.

Who is Ant-Man, anyways? Is he Hank Pym? Scott Lang? Plain ol' Ant-Man? It's hard to keep up with this ever-changing Marvel Comics character, so we're bringing you a list of Ant-Man (and Avengers) trivia to get you up to speed.Ant-Man is a difficult character to pin down (literally and figuratively); his unique abilities and irregularities make him one of the most interesting and controversial Avengers characters. This is a guy who is a hero, but who has also been court marshaled then kicked off the Avengers, more than once... a guy who has helped the planet just as much as he's harmed it. He's able to become new superheroes whenever he feels emasculated. And that's just the first guy, the best and brightest of the lot. The only one who wasn't a thief or S.H.I.E.L.D. agent turned thief. That's right there are not one, not two, but three Ant-Men.Ant-Man, the movie, came out on July 17, 2015, and someone needed to sort through the myths and the years of continuity (this guy has been around more than 50 years, and most people didn't know his name until Marvel announced the movie!) to bring you the facts you should know before you see Paul Rudd put on that iconic helmet and become Ant-Man!

Comic Book Movies

Closing out Phase Two of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Peyton Reed&#39;s&nbsp;Ant-Man&nbsp;is a highly&nbsp;underrated film that started expanding on the scientific side of Marvel storytelling. This film has everything:&nbsp;Pym Particles, our first look at the Quantum Realm, and the introduction of two of the OG Avengers from the team&#39;s first comic book appearance in 1963. Not only that, but&nbsp;Ant-Man&#39;s attention to detail is right up there with the best of the franchise when it comes to the subtle and the often overlooked.

Did you manage to catch any of these details on your first viewing? Vote up the details you missed when you first watched&nbsp;Ant-Man!&nbsp;

Marvel Comics

Even though the title character is one of Marvel&rsquo;s lesser-known heroes, Ant-Man made a huge splash at the box office during its premiere weekend. A lot of armchair film critics assumed the tiny Marvel property would fail to connect with viewers who aren&rsquo;t already versed in the comic company&rsquo;s rich backstory. Luckily, they were wrong. Ant-Man is filled with enough action and heist-style tension to keep even the most lackluster of <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/what-comic-book-fans-dont-like-about-the-mcu/zack-howe?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">comic book fans</a> on the edge of their seat, but that doesn&rsquo;t mean the film&rsquo;s producers didn&rsquo;t pack it full of Easter eggs for the not-so-casual viewer. If you&rsquo;re still lost in the frenzy of the film&rsquo;s final act and aren&rsquo;t sure if you missed any hidden references, we&rsquo;ve got you covered with this list of the coolest Easter eggs in Ant-Man.

It should go without saying that this list is full of spoilers. It&rsquo;s spoilerific, if you will, so if you plan on reading,&nbsp;please watch the movie first. Even if you only liked Ant-Man half as much as we did, you&rsquo;ll love knowing these references to the Marvel Universe that were hidden in the movie. Just don&rsquo;t yell them out the next time you&rsquo;re sitting in the theater.

Superheroes

When it was announced that Ant-Man would be the newest hero to land his own film in the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/the-entire-history-of-the-marvel-cinematic-universe/zack-howe?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Marvel Cinematic Universe</a>, the news was met with more than a few rolled eyes -surely, Ant-Man’s greatest adventures couldn't&nbsp;compare to the published history of guys like the Hulk and Iron Man. However, the Ant-Man moniker has been around just as long as those characters have, even if the best Ant-Man story arcs have been spread around a number of individuals, including Hank Pym, Scott Lang, and Eric O’Grady.The somewhat surprising success of Marvel's Ant-Man has led unread fans to seek out some of the best Ant-Man comics, and that can sometimes be a difficult task. The character of Ant-Man, and other permutations like Giant Man and Yellowjacket, has rarely been featured in a starring role, usually having to share the spotlight with Avengers teammates and the like. Hunting down the best Ant-Man stories requires one to hunker down and take a closer look at things - in more ways than one!

Ant-Man is a mantle taken up by three very different men, but no matter what, he has a long list of formidable villains giving him trouble. This list includes all of Ant-Man's villains, foes, and greatest enemies and needs your votes to help decide which An-Man villain is the best of the series. With more than 50 years of history and villains, and certainly some of the strangest bad guys in comic lore, Ant-Man's greatest foes is no group of slouches.There are three different men who have donned the Ant-Man mantle. There's Hank Pym, a biophysicist and security operations center expert who discovered a substance that would allow the user to change their size, he also developed a helmet to talk to ants. Then there's Scott Lang (played by Paul Rudd in the 2015 film), a thief who initially stole the Ant-Man suit to save his daughter who had a heart condition, and then became a hero with the encouragement from Pym. Lastly there's Eric O'Grady, who was a low level S.H.I.E.L.D. employee who stumbled on the suit and stole it. He was the irredeemable Ant-Man who basically donned the mantle to seduce women.All three Ant-Mans have faced numerous villains throughout their story lines, but which Ant-Man enemies are the best <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/evil-characters/reference?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">evil characters</a> from the Ant-Man comics? Cast your votes below to help decide the ultimate Ant-Man comic book bad guy!

Thrilling and <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/ant-man-and-the-wasp-easter-eggs/jordan-breeding" target="_blank">hilarious</a> though&nbsp;it may be, Ant Man and The Wasp's&nbsp;ending left&nbsp;quite a few <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/unanswered-avengers-infinity-war-questions/stephanroget" target="_blank">unanswered questions</a>. Many expected the sequel to explain the connection between Ant-Man and Avengers 4. After all, the second&nbsp;Ant-Man is one of only two films&nbsp;between Avengers: Infinity War and its anticipated sequel. Fans are champing at the bit for any information as to what happened after the infamous snap, and Ant-Man and the Wasp&nbsp;felt like the perfect opportunity to gain a little insight. If nothing else, maybe we could learn where&nbsp;Scott Lang&nbsp;and Clint Barton (Hawkeye)&nbsp;were that whole time.Unfortunately, while some questions may have been answered, there are quite a few glaring omissions. Due to&nbsp;the madness associated with the Quantum Realm,&nbsp;it's hard to take any developments at face value. From Janet's powers to Sonny Burch's employers,&nbsp;there are several unanswered&nbsp;questions that stumped audiences.

Immediately following the blockbuster&nbsp;Avengers: Infinity War, Peyton Reed&#39;s&nbsp;Ant-Man and The Wasp&nbsp;is the&nbsp;highly underrated sequel to his first MCU outing,&nbsp;Ant-Man.&nbsp;Taking place concurrently with&nbsp;Infinity War,&nbsp;Ant-Man and The Wasp&nbsp;sets up a copious amount of ground for the future of the MCU to build upon, even after&nbsp;Avengers: Endgame.&nbsp;From subatomic details in the Quantum Realm&nbsp;to getting audiences acquainted with soon-to-be Young Avenger Cassie Lang (AKA Stature),&nbsp;Ant-Man and the Wasp&nbsp;is filled with tiny details that really make this film worth the rewatch as soon as possible.

Many viewers of the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-mcu-movies/ranker-film?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Marvel Cinematic Universe films</a> got their first dose of Ant-Man on screen in the 2015 film Ant-Man. However, for many comic book readers, the character has been a part of the Marvel Comics universe since the 1960s. First appearing in the anthology Tales to Astonish #27 as Dr. Henry &quot;Hank&quot; Pym, readers learned about his story in &quot;The Man in the Ant Hill.&quot; From there, the character reappeared in &quot;Return of the Ant-Man&quot; in Tales to Astonish #35 as Ant-Man.

Pym appeared in the series along with the Wasp in Tales to Astonish #44. And they both became members of the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/my-dream-avengers-line-up" target="_blank">Avengers</a> in The Avengers&nbsp;#1. Pym&#39;s history in the comics has been plagued with mental illness and instability, self-esteem issues, multiple personas, and an infamous instance of abuse. Learn more about the complicated comic history of the original Ant-Man, Hank Pym.&nbsp;

If you felt Infinity War was bad -&nbsp;like a slog to get through - then you really have to see Ant-Man and the Wasp. Rather than handle the big <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/why-infinity-war-is-the-worst-avengers-movie/jacob-shelton" target="_blank">issues of the Marvel Cinematic Universe</a>, the sequel to 2015's Ant-Man earns a place as one of the best Marvel movies by putting characters first and letting them tell a personal story. It builds a tight, small-scale adventure while still providing plenty of clues and&nbsp;Easter eggs for Marvel fans who know what they're seeking. <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/unanswered-avengers-infinity-war-questions/stephanroget" target="_blank">Infinity War left many&nbsp;open-ended questions</a>, such as:&nbsp;What happened to half the population of the universe?&nbsp;Ant-Man and the Wasp doesn't tie up any of those loose ends, but it's not trying to, either. This&nbsp;makes it a much-needed break from the rest of the MCU.&nbsp;Before you read further to find out what Ant-Man and the Wasp gets right: There are plenty of spoilers ahead for both Infinity War and the Ant-Man sequel. Consider yourself warned.

2018’s <a href="https://www.ranker.com/review/ant-man-and-the-wasp/85370366" target="_blank">Ant-Man and the Wasp</a>&nbsp;marks the first time a female superhero has headlined a <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/most-anticipated-comic-book-movies/ranker-film" target="_blank">Marvel Cinematic Universe film</a> - even if she has to share the title with a male counterpart. Even those who watched the first Ant-Man,&nbsp;but aren’t familiar with the comics, might have walked away from the film wondering, “Who is the Wasp?”Of course, the Wasp with whom Marvel fans are most familiar, Janet van Dyne, only appears&nbsp;in that film via flashbacks, whereas the Wasp referenced in the title of the 2018 film is Hope van Dyne, her daughter. The Wasp comics differ a bit from the MCU, and even if you did manage to catch all the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/antman-easter-eggs/jacob-shelton" target="_blank">Ant-Man&nbsp;easter&nbsp;eggs</a>, there are still some key differences to go over before seeing the July 2018 MCU installment.&nbsp;The Wasp history goes back to June 1963,&nbsp;when the character&nbsp;Janet van Dyne first appeared in <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Tales-Astonish-1959-1968-Stan-Lee-ebook/dp/B075DKW6MV/?&amp;tag=rankercom-20" target="_blank">Tales to Astonish #44</a>. She was created by the legendary duo of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, and she was chosen to be a founding member of their premier superhero team: the Avengers. Janet has remained closely tied to the Avengers ever since, and it looks like her out-of-comic-continuity daughter may be keeping that tradition alive on the big screen.
