Ant-Man And The Wasp: Who Is Villain Ghost?

1. Could Ghost Work With Scott and Hope?

The first Ant-Man film worked because it was such a pleasant surprise, and it looks as though Peyton Reed and Hannah John-Kamen are applying the same principle to the sequel.

For the time being, the film certainly looks to be packing the same tone as the original, but there's an element of pathos that could yet come into play. It all pertains to the Quantum Realm and the search for Michelle Pfeiffer's Janet van Dyne, and with Ghost likely to boast a tragic backstory too, the stage could be set for this particular Marvel sequel to explore the trauma left behind by Janet's absence.

That's what's at stake in the sequel, and with Goggins occupying the role of the evil suit, it wouldn't be at all surprising to see Ghost going after him as well.

If that is the case, the fact that both Scott and Hope can be seen chasing him down during the trailer could imply that a team-up is on the horizon. It's a prospect hammered further by the film's initial reactions, and though the surprise might have been spoiled for now, audiences won't have to wait long before they see Ghost's role come into focus.

Y'know, unless you happen to be in the UK.

Content Producer/Presenter

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.
