Ant-Man: 10 Potential Post-Credits Scenes

5. Pym & Lang Brainstorm New Superhero Names

The Scene: One thing's for sure about Ant-Man: it seems like a wholly self-aware superhero movie, given the various lines of dialogue in the trailer which suggest Scott Lang isn't so fond of the goofy name, and wants to change it. If Marvel want a funny post-credits scene rather than going the serious route, they could have Pym and Lang brainstorming new names for their hero on a blackboard or something. If some of the names on the board are references to other, relatively obscure Marvel characters, then all the better. How Likely Is It?: 4/10. It'd be a fun way to call back to what seems likely to be a running joke throughout the movie, though at the same time, once Lang has become Ant-Man and saved the day, they may drop the joke because it'll start to encroach upon Ant-Man as a character. If even the people writing the movie keep mocking the name, then how are audiences supposed to truly get on board with him? It probably won't happen, though if done the right way, it could still raise a laugh or two.
