He probably sacrifices himself for his daughter.

But not to his death. Just to get stuck in the Quantum Realm. He will be king of the Quantum Realm now, but not in the style of Kang. More like a benevolent, democratically selected hero king. The Quantum Realm isn't so bad after all, even if not so much happens now that Kang is dead/gone/imprisoned/pacified. A peaceful world that doesn't need heroes isn't such a bad life, Ant-Man was never comfortable in the hero role anyway. And Cassie is safe and free, that's all that really matters.

He looks good masked up, but look at him following Kang after Janet says "you cannot trust him."
Seems they are changing the origins and will be played by Corey Stoll as Darren Cross again.
I kind of like that as an explanation of what happened to Yellowjacket. I always wondered if you stopped shrinking once reaching the quantum realm
I never wondered that.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

I wondered it off and on thru the years. Sometimes I would, sometimes I wouldn’t.

If only he could appear in the movie. We all know it’s the fucking Microverse, Disney!

Marvel owns Bug, tho…

I was tipped off by my nephew to watch WandaVision before Dr Strange 2. I couldn't bring myself to actually watch the series, but I read the plot summaries. Good thing, too, because my nephew was correct that the movie would make little sense to me had I not been familiar with the series.

In a similar vein, should I read the plot summary of Loki before seeing this movie? Should I wait for my nephew to see it first and then solicit his advice?

Ugh, I really don't want to watch a full season of a TV show to enjoy a movie.

Ant-Man is their most generic and safe movie series. A real shame since it should have been their weirdest. Too bad we'll never know what Edgar Wright had planned.

This would almost have to exceed my expectations at this point.
