The marketing forAnt-Man and the Wasp: Quantumaniahas finally ramped up for its February release. With new images, more details about the upcoming feature are trickling down answering fans’ many queries as well as creating more mysteries. A new image revealed byEmpire Magazinegives us a good look at the Quantum Realm as well asMichelle Pfeiffer’s Janet Van Dyne.
In the new image Janet is seen standing tall in the robes we’ve seen previously in the trailer. She’s well armored and behind her, we get a glimpse of the quantum tunnel shining blue. Given the fact most things in the MCU are color coded, for example the Infinity Stones, the significance of the blue hue in the Quantum Realm is yet unknown. Teasing the Quantum Realm, writerJeff Lovenesscalls it “Jodorowsky’s Dune within Marvel.” He describes it to be a “fun place,” adding, “It’s a limitless place of creation and diversity and alien life.”
Janet was said to be lost in the Quantum Realm before she came back inAnt-Man and the Wasp. Speaking of her character, Pfeiffer said, “The Quantum Realm can change a person, and you’re able to have a whole other life down there. It’s something that she hasn’t wanted to get into.” It’s a caution Janet preached to Scott also before he went sub-atomic and got lost in the Quantum Realm for five years. Fans have long theorized that she has some kind of connection with Kang, and seems like they were correct. Marvel bossKevin Feigereveals, “It’s about how these five family members deal with this environment and the new reality of what their mother/grandmother has been through.” Adding:
“She’s a very, very well-known, very powerful freedom fighter in the Quantum Realm. Which none of them had any idea about until they get down there.”
