10 Recent Movie Reshoots That Were INSANELY Obvious
2. The Final Scene - Ant-Man & The Wasp: Quantumania
If it feels like the ending to Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania was hastily stapled onto the end of the movie, that's because it absolutely was.
Literally, Quantumania's final ending was filmed less than a month before its premiere, surely explaining why it feels so oddly out of step with the rest of the movie.
Even if Kang's (Jonathan Majors) all-too-easy defeat is a bit odd, it's the deeply bizarre final scene which strikes a truly bewildering note.
With Kang "defeated," life appears to return to normal for Scott Lang (Paul Rudd), even as Scott can't shake the feeling that something even worse is coming.
At a party for Cassie (Kathryn Newton), Scott takes a bite into his dessert, and just as it appears that something ominous is going to happen, he simply reacts in disgust to the food and the scene abruptly smash-cuts to the credits.
Clearly director Peyton Reed was trying to toy with audience expectations a little, but it basically ends up falling totally flat, like the frantic, last-minute addition it blatantly was.
Given that the original ending apparently saw Kang survive and Scott and Hope (Evangeline Lilly) get stranded in the Quantum Realm, somebody at Marvel Studios apparently thought better of this bleak cliffhanger, yet wanted to assure audiences that Kang wasn't gone for good.
