Ant-Man and Bumblebee

 


Rumors are still circulating that the Fantastic Four will be introduced or at least set up in the third Ant-Man movie.  Director Peyton Reed has been angling for a shot at the FF from even before he started the Ant-Man trilogy so it will be interesting to see if he finally gets the chance to put his stamp on Marvel's first family. If they are indeed slated to show up we should finally hear some casting soon, as the movie is slated to begin filming next summer.

    FF? Doom & Gloom get a room.

    Ant-Man shouldn't be hitting the bottle like that. They may be under red sun lamps, but don't they have just Earth gravity in there? Hey, if he gets one of those miniature flying cars, he won't need the ants.

  3. @HCDTS: Does Antman need a flying car?; the ant doesn't have wings; also, didn't Kandor at least earlier have Krypton's gravity?

  4. This would make a great sequel to STF #1064!

    The powerhouse members of the Avengers keep Superman busy...while Bumblebee helps Scott Lang steal Kandor. Probably as some kind of ransom for his abducted cousin Lana!

    Of course, Ms. Beecher originally couldn't shrink during her initial stint as a Teen Titan. But, I'm sure she and the Wasp would've had no trouble modifying one of Hank Pym's old Yellowjackets to make her shrinkage possible.

  5. As to transporting the bottle? A swarm of Miraclo-laced Formicidae are probably just out of sight beneath the legalese caption

  6. Always loved Kandor. And what a great STF concept. It occurs to me that Anty could just shrink down to his Giant-Man persona in the bottle city...

  7. Regarding whether could operate in Kandor Superman operated in Kandor as the first Nightwing and Jimmy Olson as Flamebird so give Antman and Bumblebee what Jimmy got other than multiple revisions.

  8. We do know that there are plans to do a proper FF movie, and probably as soon as Kevin Feige can get it into the schedule. I personally have hope that some casting news will come around by summer.

    On another topic, seeing Kandor and having just finished binging the TV show Eureka on Prime Video (and learning that it has a tie-in comic) makes me wonder what could be done with the latter -- and it would be truly fitting to see Jack Carter and Doug Fargo transported to Kandor. The town (Eureka) could also get a visit from Tony Stark or Amanda Waller; come under attack from Martians, Decepticons, or Cybermen; or have people sent to Rann, Alderaan, Skaro, Deep Space Nine, or any number of other places. Jack and Zoe could even have a familial connection to John Carter.

    PS (to all): I consider Season 4, Episode 21 ("Do You See What I See?") to be the greatest Christmas episode of any show, ever, hands down. I'm not sure how it would read for someone unfamiliar with the characters and setting, but if you have Amazon Prime or some other way of accessing it, tune it in on Friday (or any time after Thanksgiving festivities are over) and see what you think.

  9. Horsefeathers with the revised FargoNovember 26, 2020 at 3:35 AM

    BG, just cause Eureka had multi time lines, time travel done for fun, seeing themselves entering town for the first time as dad & daughter were leaving, a different kind of smart house, and great dog walkers and uplifting mailboxes, doesn't mean they would play well with others.Peter Parker and Barry Allen maybe.

  10. Unless, of course, the were playing with Joseph "Brutus" Parker.

  11. @Horsefeathers: Well, they did fine when Claudia Donovan came for a visit. But still, it'd be an interesting tie-in if Peter Parker's father had worked at Global Dynamics. Ray Palmer, Hank Pym, or any number of others could also consult there.

    And it'd be interesting to see Deputy Andy join Robo-Force!

  12. And all three members of the Donovan family could find out they're related to renegade ex-member of Project: Cadmus...Dabney Donovan!

  13. What about adding Hank McCoy to that list too?

    ReplyDelete
  14. Hank McCoy certainly could consult at GD, and I doubt Martin Stein would be out of place. Niles Caulder also could bring the Doom Patrol to that lab as well, to try to find solutions to the team's various physical problems -- with results that are equally at home on either TV show. Danny the Street could even drop into the middle of town!

    What is an ant doing near the bottle? Was it already moved from the Fortress?

  16. @Anonymous: I asked him those very questions! But, he refused to answer. Either that, or he's just a ...mute ant.
