How Janet Van Dyne Knew About Kang
It was revealed inAnt - Manthat Janet van Dyne was trapped in the Quantum Realm and thus was believed to be dead , but in realism , she had been living in that property for decades . Janet , just like Hank , work for S.H.I.E.L.D. , and Pym created the Wasp suit for her , which has the same capabilities as the Ant - Man suit along with a brace of wings . During a mission in 1987 , their only alternative to disarm a missile was to shrink to a subatomic tier , but they would n’t be able-bodied to return . Janet sacrificed herself to complete the mission and shrunk to a subatomic horizontal surface , becoming trap in the Quantum Realm for X . As Hank spent years hit the books the Quantum Realm and trying to find a way to bring Janet back , she met other civilizations while entrap in that dimension , and she eventually became part of one of them , allowing her to live on .
Janet was finally rescued inAnt - Man and the Waspthanks to the combined efforts of Scott , Hank , and Hope , and she continued her life-time with Hank , with whom she worked on a path to discover a cure for Ava Starr a.k.a . Ghost ( Hannah John - Kamen ) . Astime works otherwise in the Quantum Realm , Janet spend long enough in that dimension to get to acknowledge the many corners of the Quantum Realm and the creatures inhabit in it , so it ’s not that surprising that she knew about Kang ’s existence – the big enquiry would be why she did n’t discourage anyone about him after she was rescued , more so as her reactions in the trailer show that she definitely know what Kang is capable of and maybe even what his literal plans are about .
Why Janet Didn’t Warn The Avengers About Kang
As Janet has n’t really been a main character in the MCU , this universe has n’t engage the sentence to properly research her story , particularly her time in the Quantum Realm , what she did there , who she met , and what she learned there . TheAnt - Man and the Wasp : Quantumaniatrailerhints there ’s a lot more that Janet has been hiding aside from Kang ’s macrocosm and the whole universe that survive in the Quantum Realm , so she could have dangerous information that would really threaten her family and the Avengers rather than aid them against Kang . It ’s also possible that Janet could have been on Kang ’s side while trapped in the Quantum Realm , and maintain his existence a mystery was a way to protect her world . Janet van Dyne looks to be a central player inAnt - Man and the Wasp : Quantumania , and she could also be one of the most significant part inthe Multiverse Saga .
