    At least one of the Ant-Man comics was Astonishing Ant-Man, so maybe it could be Astonishing Ant-Man and the Wasp. I would like to come use something like Astonishing for The Wasp, but only thing like that I've seen for her is a reference to her as "The Winsome Wasp", but that doesn't really feel like something you'd want to use today. Has she ever gotten another nickname like that?

    Astonishing Ant-Man was a nice nod to Tales to Astonish, Ant-Man's first home in comics

    Or how something a little more simple: The Wasp.

    The current, newest Wasp in the comics, Nadia van Dyne, has appeared in a pair of short-lived books called The Unstoppable Wasp.

    A third Ant-Man is probably the only announced MCU movie (outside of the inevitable third MCU Spider-Man film) that I could take or leave. I consider Ant-Man & The Wasp to be THE worst MCU film, with the single worst MCU villain, so while I like both of those characters individually, I don't really want to see them in a movie made by the same person that did the terrible second film.

    Ant-man 3 should be all about Cassie and the title should reflect that. Unfortunately, her traditional superhero name is Stature, which doesn't really seem to lend itself to a fun, catchy title.

    'Ant-Man, The Wasp and Stinger' (I mean it's better than "stature", no?)

    ^Yeah, I'd say those are all proving my point quite handily. :nyah:

    Marsden is very sad.
    I hope they do something with Bill Foster, I think he was wasted last time, I was really looking forward to some Black Goliath.

    If Hank comes out of retirement and Bill Foster and Scott and Hank are all in action we could have 3 Ant-Men and a Wasp

    or 1 Giant Man 2 Ant Man and the Wasp

    The Wasp and her Multi sized Friends

    You have to wonder what the dynamic would be in the third one. I mean it's fairly obvious Cassie is going to get to be a superhero, but will that be part of the main plot or a post credit thing, as part of a larger build towards a "Young Avengers" project?

    Part of me suspects the latter since even though she's aged up, Cassie is still only like 16 or so. I can't see either Scott, Hank or even Hope just giving her a suit.
    Maybe the way they'll do it is set up that she's already built one for herself in the blip. That way they can still have the original actress come back for flashback scenes!

    Maybe Peter Parker hooks her up with a suit? Would be closing the circle nicely.
