Captain Marvel , the approaching Marvel film starring Brie Larson , has largely been shrouded in enigma . Mainly , what will it be about , and how will Carol Danvers get her great power ? We might finally have an answer — or at least a pinch of one . And it ’s all about a surprising connexion with Ant - Man .
In an audience withInverse , quantum physicist Dr. Spiros Michalakis chatted about his work in helping create the Marvel Cinematic Universe ’s Quantum Realm , which is aplace“where clock time and quad dissolve . ” This kingdom , formerly know as the Microverse , was visited in Ant - Man , where Scott Lang went sub - atomic to save his girl from Yellowjacket . It ’s since been connected to Doctor Strange with the multiverse , though Michalakis did n’t work on that film and they are consider disjoined thing .
fit in to Michalakis , the Quantum Realm will play a theatrical role in Captain Marvel . He would n’t go into detail about how , but articulate the realm will give a good reason of Carol Danvers and what role she wreak in the MCU . This in all likelihood means it wo n’t be the realm itself , but rather something connected to it , like the multiverse . We already learned her bloodline storywill be differentin the picture show than in the comics , so it could mean her powers wo n’t come from a Kree superweapon burst , fusing her genes with those of the Kree , but rather something more metaphysical .

“ This is exciting for the future . There are different ways that some of these ideas appear on - screen in a few twelvemonth . Not just for Ant - Man , but also for Captain Marvel and all of the Marvel Cinematic Universe . ”
Michalakis also utter about how Ant - Man ’s powers might make him one of the most hefty superheroes on motion-picture show — and yes , that includes Superman . When asked how that could be potential , he tell it ’s because Superman still has to obey the basic laws of aperient , but Ant - Man exists outside of those rules thanks to the Quantum Realm . He occupies a quad where he can bow reality in a style that could defeat any opponent , whether it ’s by changing his size to be big and stronger , or even going so far as to create a black gob for Superman to devolve into .
Ant - Man ’s next film , Ant - Man and The Wasp , is set to come out next year . Captain Marvel wo n’t make her solo launching until 2019 .
