I would love to see founding Avenger Wasp on the big screen in the next Avengers movie but it doesn’t seem likely.
Janet Van Dyne fans can celebrate the next issue of Uncanny Avengers! In one his final acts as the Avengers writer, Brian Michael Bendis brought back Janet. Turns out Wasp didn’t die in Secret Invasion but she was in the Microverse! Wasp, Wonder Man and Sunfire join the squad made of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes and Children of the Atom. I wanted to share part of Rick Remender’s thoughts on how Janet will fit into the Marvel Now and this hybrid team.
“Wasp’s time in the microverse has changed her. There is an immediacy that she feels towards living her life and appreciation for being home in general. Being on an Avengers squad half made up of X-Men, with one of the Summers brothers as the chairman, is definitely going to add some complications in Janet’s life. She’d been front and center as the chairwoman of the Avengers for a long time, she’ll definitely have opinions on how things should be done moving forward. More than anything she’s going to be doing everything she can to solve the issue of human mutant relations, in making everyone get along in the Avengers Unity Division is step 1 in that task,” Remender tells Comic Book Resources.
Watch for Janet, Simon and Sunfire in Uncanny Avengers #5. Here’s an earlier interview with Remender and Editor Tom Brevoort on the new members of the team.
Back to the movies…it looks like Earth’s Mightiest Heroes will Thanos in the next sequel but who’s with me on wanting an Avengers movie with Wasp, Henry Pym and that of course leads to ULTRON!
