It looks as if writer Jeff Loveness is taking Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania in an entirely new direction.Yesterday, Marvel Studios pushed back most of its 2022 and 2023 releases, citing production and creator issues. While the news was disappointing to some, it likely means the films will get plenty of extra time for filming and effects to be finished. But Ant-Man 3's writer decided to have a little fun with the announcement, offering a fake script page to fans.The scene in question not only sees the MCU's first F-bomb but an Ant-Man seemingly drunk on his godlike power of ants. Loveness captioned the farcical scene with "Not sure why you would push this but ok???" Check it out:
EXT. ANT HILL
Ant-Man is there. He's about to go small.
ANT-MAN
I'm gonna go small now.
ANT
No, Ant-Man. Don't! That's too small.
ANT-MAN
Fuck you. Even smaller now.
ANT
Please... please no.
He does. The ant weeps.
ANT-MAN
Say I am your Christ.
ANT
(Inaudible over any weeps)
ANT-MAN
Say it.
Loveness is best known for writing on Rick and Morty and Miracle Workers and is one of many creators with a comedy background who have joined the Marvel Studios stable. He also joins Loki and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness writer Michael Waldron, who also worked on Rick and Morty. The two have talked about joining the MCU together, leaving many to wonder if their various projects will be related.
In some ways, we know they will. Both of Waldron's MCU projects involve the multiverse. And Loki saw the debut of Jonathan Majors as He Who Remains, a variant of Kang the Conqueror, the main villain of Ant-Man 3. There's also the Yellowjacket Easter egg from Loki, seemingly lending credence to the rumor that Corey Stoll's Ant-Man big bad will return for the upcoming third film.
Aside from the title teasing a return to the Quantum Realm and the fact that Kang will face off against the heroes, little is known about the third film in the franchise. Along with the Yellowjacket rumors, the recasting of Cassie Lang has led many to assume she will become a superhero herself, providing the inevitable future Young Avengers project with yet another teen hero. There are also rumors that Bill Murray will join the MCU in the film, another hint that the series will continue as Marvel's most straightforward comedy.
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is currently halfway through filming in London, giving it nearly two years to wrap things up before hitting theaters on its new date of July 28, 2023.
