Unlike recent Marvel superhero extravaganzas, the story in Ant-Man and the Wasp is fairly self-contained. However, a lot of that simplicity goes out the window in the final moments of the movie. After the first part of the credits roll, there’s a game-changing post-credits scene. And that means your kids are going to have a few burning questions about the movie. Spoilers for Ant-Man and the Wasp are coming, but more importantly, the answers to your kid’s biggest questions about the movie and its ending are answered right here.
First of all, what is the Quantum Realm? The definition of “quantum,” according to Merriam-Webster, is “quantity” or “amount” or “size.” Relative to our “realm,” the Quantum Realm is a place where things get tinier and tinier until they are microscopic, subatomic, and then, well “quantum.”
Secondly, are Hank, Janet, and Hope (aka Wasp) all dead after the post-credits scene? Technically, the answer to this question is yes, these three characters are totally dead. But, they’re also dead in the same way Spider-Man and Black Panther are dead after the end of Infinity War.
Thirdly, will Ant-Man and Wasp actually return? Well, the easy answer is that they will return in some kind of Marvel movie in the future. But, it’s not totally clear if there will be another movie only focused on Ant-Man and Wasp.
Fourth, where is Ant-Man at the end of the movie? The easy answer is that Ant-Man is trapped in the Quantum Realm. But, because Janet Van Dyne mentions something about “time vortexes” right before the end of that first post-credits scene, it’s totally possible that Ant-Man is traveling through time.
In the last post-credits scene, we see a giant ant playing Scott Lang’s drum set. Why is this happening? Well, mostly because it’s funny. But also, in the movie, the big ant was programmed to mimic Scott’s actions in order to fool the FBI into thinking he was still at home. So this demonstrates that even though the entire world is in chaos because of Thanos’s invasion in Infinity War, this ant is still doing its job perfectly. (373 words)
