SPOILERS – THERE WILL BE SPOILERS FOR ANT-MAN IN THIS STORY…
…YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
Still here? Good.
Mid credits:
One of the plot threads that runs through Ant-Man is Hank Pym telling his daughter Hope that she can’t be a superhero because “it’s too dangerous”. He is of course wrong, and the characters go out of their way to tell him so. Part of his problem is that his wife Janet, The Wasp, was killed during a mission they did together back in the day and he can’t stand to lose his daughter too. But when they are successful at the end of the movie, Hank Pym realises that Hope is ready. He takes her to his lab and reveals that he and Janet were working on a new Wasp suit, but she never got to use it. He then says that maybe they were just building it for Hope. She replies with, “it’s about damn time.” A tease for Ant-Man 2 – or a role for The Wasp in Avengers: Infinity War?
Post-credits
Another plot thread that is kicked off half way through the movie centres around Scott Lang’s first mission, where he infiltrates The Avengers HQ and has a fight with Falcon (which you can see a tease for here). At the end of the movie, Michael Pena reveals to Scott that he heard that Falcon was looking for him to join The Avengers. In the post-credit stinger, The Winter Soldier is seemingly captured and held hostage by Falcon and Captain America. When Falcon asks Cap if they should call in Tony for help, Cap tells him no. Falcon then says, “I know a guy” – setting up Ant-Man’s appearance in Captain America: Civil War.
