When discussing a ruling about net neutrality, Lilly compared the victory to taking on Goliath, with the next target being Thanos.
Much of Ant-Man and the Wasp‘s marketing campaign has painted Bill Foster, played by Laurence Fishburne, as a potential ally. Trailers have referenced the “Goliath” project, with Foster having used size-altering science to grow into the massive Goliath superhero.
One trailer shows Foster and Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) having a friendly debate over how large they’ve been able to grow, though it’s possible that these are merely seeds of a larger conflict. Given the ineptitude of Lang, it’s possible that Foster enlists Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen) to help get the Ant-Man tech away from Lang, proving to be the film’s ultimate mastermind.
This wouldn’t be the first time that a Marvel Studios film has offered a shocking reveal with its villains, as Iron Man 3 delivered audiences one of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s biggest twists.
Throughout much of the film, The Mandarin (Sir Ben Kingsley) made countless deadly threats to Tony Stark, demanding a confrontation with the Avenger. When Stark finally confronted the terrorist, it was revealed that he was nothing more than an actor playing the role of a lifetime on behalf of the film’s true villain, Aldrich Killian (Guy Pearce).
Fans will find out the film’s true villain when Ant-Man and the Wasp hits theaters on July 6th.
Avengers: Infinity War is in theaters now. Other upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe movies include Captain Marvel on March 8, 2019, the fourth Avengers movie on May 3, 2019, the Spider-Man: Homecoming sequel on July 5, 2019, and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 in 2020.
