Fan Casting Ant-Man (2009)

Hank Pym, a brilliant scientist in his late 40s, has perfected revolutionary shrinking technology. With his wife Janet at his side, he’s driven by both genius and personal ambition. When his former protege, Darren Cross, steals the technology and turns it into a dangerous weapon as Yellowjacket, Hank is forced to suit up as Ant-Man. In a high-stakes showdown, he battles Cross to prevent a global catastrophe. Amid the chaos of their conflict, Janet is caught in the turmoil—and in the final moments, she vanishes without explanation, leaving Hank heartbroken yet more determined than ever to keep his work out of the wrong hands. Post Credits: Inside a secure S.H.I.E.L.D. facility, a covert agent slides a confidential dossier across a table to Hank, with Clint Barton and Natasha Romanoff standing nearby. Barton smirks, “This is your chance to finally one-up Tony.” Romanoff adds coolly, “We need your genius on our side, Hank.” Driven by both wounded pride and the promise of a new beginning, Hank accepts the offer, setting the stage for the next chapter.
