10 MORE Incredibly Clever Moments Of MCU Movie Foreshadowing
2. Janet Lives - Ant-Man
Ant-Man again! Okay, so we’re a little annoyed at how little love the film gets. The Joe Cornish-penned project which Baby Driver director Edgar Wright almost helmed is stuffed with little throwaway nods to the Marvel mythos. Among the more subtle clues was one which hinted at the plot of the film’s own sequel, 2018’s Ant-Man and the Wasp.
This one was so subtle that Marvel head honcho Kevin Feige had to point fans in the right direction, and re-watching the flick, it’s crazy how easy some of the subtler foreshadowing dotted through the cinematic universe is to miss. When Scott enters the trippy visual wonderland that is the Quantum Realm, look very closely at his helmet.
That silhouette in the reflection? It’s only Janet Van Dyke, a few years before her first official appearance. Languishing in the Quantum Realm is a hell of a way to spend a few years, so it’s probably fair that she tried to tip Scott off to her presence upon his arrival. Shame he didn’t notice until the sequel, mind you.
