A Geeky Viewpoint

Our friends at Stitch Kingdom recently got their hands on a updated plot synopses for Ant-Man.

The information provided by Stitch Kingdom begins to fill in the gap over the departure of Edgar Wright from the project.

There is a relatively minor change in Scott Lang (who is being portrayed by Paul Rudd) has been transformed from a Con-Man to Master Thief.   TomaTO TomatOH

The second change is a change in the back story and potentially an explanation on Hayley Atwell's character Peggy Carter being included in the film.   Hank Pym (portrayed by Michael Douglas) is now listed as a founding member of Avengers, in the comic book universe he is as well as his wife Janet Van Dyne.   Potentially we have a few older members of the Marvel Universe (cough cough Doctor Strange cough cough) that are being setup as the original Avengers that predate the current slate of MCU Avengers [which I will call Pre-Avengers].   The story in Ant-Man will be told as either flashbacks or introduction of the film.

A rumor that is currently making the rounds is that Janet Van Dyne, the original Wasp, was killed in action during the first class of Pre-Avengers in action, her death caused Hank Pym to stop using his powers.

If that is true the original Pre-Avengers include Doctor Strange, Hank Pym's Ant Man, Janet Van Dyne (Wasp), Peggy Carter and Howard Stark.

Stay Tooned

Recent rumor mill suggests that Janet van Dyne, aka the Wasp, is now slated to appear in next summer's Ant Man film.

Janet can Dyne's was a founding member of the Comic Book version of the Avengers back in the 60's and was married to the original Ant-Man Hank Pym before they divorced.
