It was announced that Disney+ will use special Marvel Studios: Legends episodes to raise anticipation for the debut of Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania as marketing for the film picks up.
Marvel has a practice of releasing episodes of Marvel Studios: Legends prior to the premiere of a new project. These episodes recount the events of the main character's prior appearances and relive their journey through the MCU.
The Guardians of the Galaxy: Holiday Special and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever both received episodes of Legends prior to their premieres, allowing fans to catch up on Shuri, Okoye, Drax, and Mantis' earlier exploits.
It's Ant-Man 3's turn right now.
Three Marvel Studios: Legends episodes will be released on the streaming platform on Friday, February 10, before Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. This was officially confirmed by Disney+.
The three episodes, "Ant-Man," "Wasp," and "Hank & Janet," respectively, chronicle the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) adventures of Scott Lang, Hope Van Dyne, Hank Pym, and Janet Van Dyne.
Since Marvel typically releases special Legends episodes a week before the launching of a new project, the episodes' release date is consistent with previous premieres.
Will Marvel Leak Janet's Quantum Realm Past?
Following outcry from viewers over a previous Marvel Studios: Legends episode that revealed a crucial plot detail from The Guardians of the Galaxy: Holiday Special, Disney+ removed the program from its streaming service.
These next Ant-Man 3-related Legends episodes will probably not spoil the Paul Rudd-starring threequel, suggesting that Marvel and Disney+ have learnt their lesson from that earlier blunder.
Given that Janet Van Dyne, the former Wasp, received less screen time in the Infinity Saga, this could possibly account for why Hank Pym and Janet Pym's summary are condensed into a single episode. As a result, Disney+ will not be able to repurpose a deleted sequence that would reveal Janet's past in the Quantum Realm.
On Friday, February 17, Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania will have its theatrical debut.
