Ant-Man & The Wasp`s Quantum Realm is easily one of the most complicated concepts in the Marvel Cinematic Universe right now, up there with the Infinity Stones themselves. We know that it is a realm that exists, essentially, between atoms and molecules, that can only be reached by shrinking down impossibly--dangerously--small. We know that it distorts space and time. We know that it can potentially breach into our reality--or at least, facilitate breaches into our reality--via people who have been inside it. We know that Janet Van Dyne, the original Wasp, was stuck in it for decades and, somehow, against all odds, survived--but came back fundamentally changed.

We may have a big list of `knowns` but our list of `unknowns` is even greater--and will probably always be greater, considering the fluid nature of the MCU`s science to begin with. The laws of physics don`t really apply--which means that, essentially, anything is possible.That`s actually great news, when you think about it, especially considering Scott Lang`s fate at the end of Ant-Man & The Wasp. Some fluid rules and infinite possibilities might be a massive help when it comes to getting Ant-Man back in the fight--but the nature of the Quantum Realm might not be the only thing there to help Scott escape. Director Peyton Reed of Ant-Man and Ant-Man & The Wasp teased some interesting possibilities for the future of the MCU during an interview with GameSpot for the Ant-Man & The Wasp Blu-ray release earlier this month.When asked if the specifics of Jan`s survival in the Quantum Realm had ever come up, Reed explained that `we`ve only just scratched the surface of the Quantum Realm, and we liked to tease the possibility that maybe, just maybe, she wasn`t just surviving down there--maybe she was thriving.`Thriving how? Well, that`s where things get interesting. When asked directly if tha ...
