So was it ever decided that Hope Van Dyne was actually going to be The Wasp, or do we think that's for Ant-Man #2, probably along with him also becoming Giant Man as well?

 

Anyone know?

I'm not sure taking the Giant Man approach would make a lot of sense in terms of the casual viewership. hm

Really? :foryou:

 

I guess I haven't put a lot of thought into it, I just assumed (I know, dangerous to do in comicdom) that Giant-Man would be the next step, leading into both him, and The Wasp joining the Avengers?

 

After a walking tree and talking Racoon, I didn't think a guy who can grow as well as shrink would be a problem.

 

What is your main concern re the introduction of Giant Man from the audiences POV?

There were rumors of him becoming Giant Man in CA3.

Sorry, I should have elaborated my point more from the get-go!

 

I'm thinking from the standpoint of how to promote a movie as part of a franchise. I imagine that it would be confusing for someone who knows nothing about comics that does enjoy Ant-Man, who is looking forward to an Ant-Man 2 but instead is told that they're changing it up and introducing Giant-Man. It could feel like a bait and switch. For the uneducated critics, it may just seem plain cheesy.

 

All of that said...

 

From the comic fan standpoint, I agree that it makes perfect sense and I would be thrilled if they did go that route. :foryou:

On that note, since they don't appear to be going the Ant-Man 2 route (a fact which slipped my mind), then Giant-Man appearing alongside an ensemble is very plausible.
