You are probably right about the mcu figs altho i wonder if Cassie as Stature would be too much of a spoiler to include it in the wave.

Good choices for the comic selections but those make too much sense for hasbro; there's gotta be a random serpent society guy in there or something

They should do a comic Stature instead

I feel they've had their run for MCU Ant-Man....its past time the comic version got some love. My BAF choice was Super-Adaptoid because he's Avengers related, who knows when we're gonna get him (if ever) and Ant-Man/Yellowjacket is nothing if not Avengers born and bred. I didn't go with Goliath or Giant-Man because he's been done enough times, and they're never gonna make him the size so many here really want him to be, as a BAF (I'm just totally opposed to Stature because I think its a poorly conceived character, as are any of the alternative Wasps out there).

Its been 14 years since we had a Yellowjacket. How is that possible??

So what are we thinking for a Ant-man and the Wasp Quantumania wave? (please note the only reason we didn't get a second Ant-man wave was because it was too close to Infinity War).

MCU Ant-man (obviously)MCU Wasp (again Obviously)MCU Kang (main villain so yeah)Egghead (could use the Happy build with a new head and coat.)Yellowjacket (Hank is in the movie so this would make a nice nod to him like it was in the first ant-man wave)Iron Lad (Kang is in the movie and this can be their "Iron Man" in the wave)Crossfire (classic Ant-man villain and was the brother of the first movie's villain)BAF MCU Stature (obvious reason why)

Unless there are comic based classic versions of Ant-Man & Yellow jacket, it'll be a huge pass for me.

A true comic book Ant-Man wave must include Egghead. Even though he's a pretty lame arch-villain, he's important to Hank Pym's story. He would also be easy to make. Take the new MCU Happy Hogan buck, change the suit coat to a lab coat, and original head sculpt.

I thought it was a total missed opportunity when he wore that white space suit to go into the Quantum Realm that it wasn't designed to look more like the classic red and blue Ant-Man look.

I was just thinking that!

And with this 3rd movie, its way WAY past time for us to get an Ant-Man wave (comic based):

Yellowjacket

Ant-Man (original costume, removable helmet)

Wasp, red/yellow outfit

Equinox (running variant, translucent Ice/Fire, Fire/Ice)

Tigra OR Moondragon

Whirlwind (no chainmail)

Wonder Man (original costume)

BAF: Super Adaptoid

Unless there's another time jump that somehow requires a 26 year-old actress replace a 19 year old, there's no reason I can see why this is necessary. There was absolutely nothing wrong with Emma Fuhrmann. In fact, she was great. I like Kathryn Newton fine, but I refuse to believe she's just automatically better somehow. Plus, she looks nothing like Paul Rudd and Judy Greer.

My guess is the decision to switch has more to do with Marvel's future plans for Cassie as Stature or Stinger in possibly a Young Avengers or Champions movie. Maybe they thought that commitment required a stronger actress. I thought Fuhrmann was great in that one scene in ENDGAME, but that's all we saw, and maybe that wasn't enough for the producers. We'll probably never know the exact reason, since Disney isn't open about those things (and they didn't even tell Fuhrmann before the recasting announcement, which is kind of crappy).

If anything, I'm still bummed about the time jump because I thought the girl who played Cassie in the first two Ant-Man movies was adorable. She was definitely the best part about ANT-MAN AND THE WASP other than Hope's opening fight scene at the hotel lobby and kitchen.

However, Cassie Lang is now portrayed by Kathryn Newton, since Scott Langs daughter has grown a lot in the story after the events of Avengers: Endgame.

I would love to see if they can get Hank in his original comic book suit, if only for a moment. We got to see the helmet at least in Endgame....
