Black Goliath Vs. Godzilla

 

We've seen flashbacks of the original Ant-Man and The Wasp in action in the MCU, but what about Bill Foster?  I don't think I have seen Laurence Fishburne listed in the Quantumania cast, so it looks like we will have to keep waiting.  He was last seen promising not to abandon The Ghost, who is rumored to possibly be a part of either The Thunderbolts or Dark Avengers, so maybe there's another place that he could show up again.

By then, another actor will be contracted to play the character for seven years be it in movies or tv.

Can't wait for Disney to come up with Ultra tv - the beginning of 3d you can really appreciate watching.

Re: today's cover. Given his thermonuclear death-breath, I reluctantly have to give the edge to Gojira-san.

I have to agree with Cary on this. Even this iteration Big G is one of those (such as the original, late in his continuity) who would hold back on Bill because the human just isn't understanding, that would be because Godzilla's doing something good and important and would thus, due to Plot Prevailing, eventually succeed.

As for the MCU, as I recall, at the end of Ant-Man and the Wasp, Bill and The Ghost were on the loose, though the Pym/Van Dyne/Lang family were in contact with them (Scott being in the Quantum Realm to collect energy to help The Ghost with her condition). Therefore, it's not likely that The Ghost will be a part of the Thunderbolts or Dark Avengers, at least not at the start.

Still, I was a tad disappointed to see neither of those two show up in Avengers: Endgame. That they weren't at Tony's funeral completely made sense, but at least a small bit in the big battle scene would've also made sense.

And who knows? Maybe they'll be part of a mid- or post-credits scene in Quantumania -- or even Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Or one of the early Phase Five Disney+ shows will be Goliath and the Ghost. Certainly the Ghost's condition has a connection to the Multiverse, and it'd be a shame to see that go to waste.

@Bob Greenwade: maybe Ross could do a sequel entitled "Godzilla vs. Franken-Kong." The second one sort of being a hodgepodge (aka amalgam) of Willis O'Brien's original concept for a sequel to his 1933 masterpiece.

So what? CW will jump the line and have one of their characters fight Grodd-zilla or just shrink the big G down to cereal bowl size.

Just how short of the mark did Bill get? And if he had gotten to equal size did he expect to land a haymaker on old hot breath and knock him out? Talk about delusions of grandeur.

@3H: I nominate Filmation Brainiac as the shrinker in question.
