Original Avenger The Wasp To Reappear In Ant-Man

One of the original avengers is said to re-appear, if only briefly, in Marvel's Ant-Man.

Providing the scoop on the role of Janet Van Dayne, Hank Pym's wife, who is The Wasp, Screenrant draws a connection between appearance of one of the original Avenger and Hank Pym's unwillingness to pass the Ant-Man suit to his daughter.

"It factors in, in a number of spoiler-ish ways, but we will see Janet Van Dyne in action in this film. And part of sort of what happened to her. And then we will understand why that is the reason that he [Hank Pym] doesn't want his daughter to follow in those footsteps. One of the reasons why he's always so upset about superheroes in general, dismissive of them in general and also a reason why he doesn't want her to put on the suit," Marvel Studios president of production Kevin Feige, reportedly said in October.

The Wasp along with Ant-Man, Hulk, Iron Man and Thor debuted as Marvel Comics The Avengers in September 1963. Captain America joined the team in the fourth issue.

Ant-Man starring Paul Rudd as Ant-Man, Evangeline Lilly as Hope Van Dayne and Michael Douglas is set for release July 17.
