by The Avenger chosen by the crew to document their most important conflict in the MCU has been confirmed.
After coming together for the first time in their self-titled 2012 movie, The Avengers have had an illustrious history. The Avengers—Captain America, Iron Man, and others—have successfully repelled alien incursions and rogue robots virtually every time.
In the MCU’s Phase 4, the general populace appears to have a wealth of knowledge of what transpired during the events of Avengers: Endgame, with WandaVision and Ms. Marvel characters in particular having extensive awareness of what transpired.
Fans have inquired as to how civilians are made aware of events like the Avengers’ time theft and their pivotal confrontation with Thanos. Ms. Marvel acknowledged that Scott Lang played a role in notifying the inhabitants of Earth about these events. Peyton Reed, the director of Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania, has now elaborated on Scott’s reasoning.
The Avengers Hand-Selected Scott Lang
Peyton Reed, the director of Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania, claims that the Avengers hired Scott Lang, aka Ant-Man, to tell their narrative (via Bollywood Hungama).
The filmmaker mentioned that Scott was chosen specifically by Earth’s Mightiest Heroes to write his own brand-new book and describe the events of Avengers: Endgame:
”As we see Scott at the beginning of Quantumania, he’s sort of looking to the past, he’s looking in the rear-view mirror a little bit. He’s actually written a book. He was chosen by the Avengers to write the official account of the battle against Thanos, and also to tell the story about how he became a hero.”
The book Reed refers to is none other than Lang’s autobiography, Watch Out for the Little Man, which is available both in the MCU universe and in our own.
In response to another question from the interviewer about whether it was challenging to stay true to existing Marvel mythology while creating the film, the Ant-Man 3 director said that it’s “not really tough” because the MCU isn’t a carbon duplicate of the comic books.
”It’s not really tough because y’know, there’s certain things about the character, his history, and maybe his design that we key off the comics. But in terms of the stories that we create with regards to Quantumania, Kang’s backstory here, and his relationship with out heroes, that’s created exclusively for this movie.”
Other films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe will need to pick up the ball that Quantumania drops and run with it, Reed continued.
“So there’s not a prescribed sort of arc or structure that we have to adhere to. We create it this movie and then the subsequent movies that come after, they have to sort of, y’know, feed off of what we’ve created here.”
Parent, hero, and published author Scott Lang
It’s intriguing that Scott was chosen to reveal the details of the Avengers’ Endgame conflict by the team as a whole. They may have trusted him with the assignment because they saw and valued his tenacity and sincerity and believed he would give an accurate and compelling account of the events.
Scott, though, was only present for the group’s most recent successes. One can ponder whether the superteam would have chosen someone like Bruce Banner to recount their history if they intended it to be in-depth, given that he has been involved from the beginning.
That is a question to which Quantumania may have the solution.
On February 17, Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania from Marvel Studios will be screened in theatres. Look out for the Little Boy by Scott Lang is also currently up for pre-order in the real world, with a September 5 release date.
