Bill Foster is one of the many size-changing superheroes of the Marvel Universe, with the character having taken on the mantle of both Giant-Man and Goliath in the past. He's also going to be in Ant-Man and The Wasp, played by the always amazing Laurence Fishburne, no less.
It remains to be seen how exactly Foster's character will factor into the sequel, or whether he will even be turning giant during its events, but it's still an undeniably awesome addition to the cast, and a character we can only speculate will influence the film to some degree.
There are certainly multiple avenues for Reed to take the character; one such route would involve flashback, and would enhance the world-building elements of the film, but another could simply see Foster as a doctor of science - potentially a retired superhero - as the inventor of the Giant-Man formula.
Either way, there's no denying that Fishburne's presence enhances what is already a stellar cast of characters. Here's hoping he'll be getting plenty of screen-time.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
