Did Ant-Man 3 Really Get Cancelled?
Has Ant-Man 3 been lost to the Quantum Realm forever? A source allegedly close to Marvel Studios is reporting that a three-quel for the tiny Avenger isn't going to happen, and that Ant-Man and The Wasp may see their further adventures relegated to the upcoming Disney+ streaming service. The rumor comes courtesy of rumor monger Mikey Sutton, who points to two reasons in particular for the decision to shrink Scott Lang and Hope Van Dyne down from the big screen to the small one. First, Marvel Studios head honcho Kevin Feige is said to be preoccupied with the task of folding the X-Men and Fantastic Four, along with the other formerly Fox-owned properties recently acquired by Marvel's parent company Disney, into the Marvel Cinematic Universe — something he alluded to at San Diego Comic-Con 2019. Second, Sutton claims that Feige is invested in exploring different genres with the MCU's Phase 4 and Phase 5 offerings — from spy thrillers to psychological horror flicks and everything in-between — so apparently, there simply won't be any room left on the slate for more conventional superhero adventures. Let's look at this rumor from a pure common sense standpoint. The "Feige is just too busy" angle has been dragged out in one other recent situation: as a pretty thin excuse on the part of Sony Pictures CEO Tony Vinciquerra as to why his studio and Disney couldn't re-up their agreement to share custody of Spider-Man. You'll notice that it's not actually Feige complaining about how busy he is in either circumstance; it's other parties putting those words in his mouth for him, which seems a little bit suspect. As we alluded to before, it also doesn't make a heck of a lot of sense to advance the notion that because Marvel wants to do some different things with some of its upcoming features like the forthcoming Blade reboot legacy heroes and/or their feature franchises must be left behind.
