Marvel Cinematic Universe: Every Marvel movie’s greatest character
By Mark Lynch
Who is the best character from Ant-Man and the Wasp?
Marvel characters: Janet van Dyne/The Wasp
Despite the success of Ant-Man, Ant-Man and the Wasp still wasn’t as anticipated as the other Marvel Cinematic Universe movies. Even with the momentum of Avengers: Infinity War. To be honest, it wasn’t the typical MCU film. Ant-Man and the Wasp was more like a Disney feature. That being said, it was still a tremendous project.
At the end of Ant-Man, we saw the costume Hank Pym made for Janet van Dyne. We knew the Wasp was coming. Evangeline Lilly showed the world she was more than capable of being a hero without powers. Now, we got to see her with them. Not only that, but we saw that she was more than capable of being the lead.
This was the Wasp’s coming out party. In a lot of ways, Janet van Dyne carried this movie. She was no longer left to watch over Scott. She was free to show the world how amazing she is. Scott Lang was good for jokes and shenanigans here, but Janet was the one doing the heavy lifting while Scott was too afraid to leave the house.
The next Ant-Man and the Wasp project will be more of the same. Maybe it leads to the Wasp getting her own project. Or, and hear this writer out, it’ll be Stinger (Cassie Lang) and the Wasp.
Honorable mention: Scott Lang/Ant-Man
