Michelle Pfeiffer as the OG Wasp


Perfect casting. Sure, it is yet to be seen how she’ll do in the role, but I have no doubt Michelle will be more than suitable as Janet van Dyne. It’s simply great to know she is going to be a part of the movie and the MCU in general.

Very much looking forward to this sequel. The first one was a nice surprise and I bet this one is going to be even better.

Agreed, I think she will have great chemistry with Michael Douglas. And it will also be interesting to see what the interactions are between Evangeline Lilly and her "long Lost Mother".

She's still hasn't been confirmed? I thought she'd be in this for sure. They finished filming not too long ago I believe.
I'm all for her joining the Marvel family. I think she'll do a terrific job.

reply

Yes she has. There’s some set photos of her with Douglas. And what I meant is even though the movie is months away and no footage from it has been shown, I feel/know Michelle is going to own the role of Janet.

I wonder if we'll get a young CGI'd Pfeiffer in a flashback.

reply

No way CGI is good enough to do justice to a young Pfeiffer... She was stunning when young.

reply

She's still premium-GILF.

Almost forgot about the possibility of this happening.

If the movie has a flashback with Janet and Hank, then we can certainly expect to see a de-aged Pfeiffer. It goes without saying that they did an impressive job de-aging Michael Douglas in the first Ant-Man (by the same team that de-aged Downey Jr. in Civil War), so I can totally see them doing a young Pfeiffer justice.

reply

I think she will do good, but I think she will only be in it in flashbacks. Remember she shrank down to nothing according to Hank Pym.

reply

Flashback scenes with her character are something I do expect to see. However, word is her character will be brought back from the quantum realm. Nothing’s certain right now, but in whatever form Michelle appears, seeing her as Janet should be interesting..

reply

Michelle is a great actress. She will do quite well with it. Remember, she played Catwoman in "Batman Returns"
