When the first preview voyages for Disney Cruise Line's newest ship, the Disney Wish, took to the ocean, there was an interesting and slightly disturbing piece of Marvel Cinematic Universe information given to the world. During the World of Marvel dining experience, Ant-Man (Paul Rudd) and Evangeline Lilly (Wasp) appear in a pre-taped presentation to give a demonstration of quantum science. Of course, not before Rudd's Scott Lang puts his foot in his mouth, though.
Why didn't Ant-Man simply shrink himself down, enter the butt of Thanos, and then turn giant, thus eliminating the mad titan? I've heard a lot of chatter out there asking why I didn't shrink down, go in, and kill Thanos in a really creative way," he said in the video. First gross. Secondly, it's much more complicated than that." Of course, that's where Wasp cuts him off.
How, exactly, did that end up in a Disney-sanctioned piece of MCU canon, though? Strangely enough, you can thank Loki executive producer Michael Waldron for it.
Once the joke made some kind of sense, in terms of the story being told, the team moved on to Rudd. After all, this was all for nothing if he didn't want to make the joke. Thankfully, he was on board--after he did a little work on the delivery himself.
Worlds of Marvel is an exclusive experience available only to those aboard the Disney Wish cruise shipÂ
Following her return from Pakistan as well as her showdown with the Clandestine, Kamala's best friend, Bruno, and new crush, Kamran, were immediately thrust into a conflict of their own. Kamran, the only Clandestine left in New York City, had become a major target for Damage Control, and he and Bruno were left scrambling to escape. Thankfully, Kamala, having come clean to her family about her abilities and short time spent acting as a superhero, was able to marshall support from her family and friends to help.
With a plan to rig their high school with Home Alone style traps in order to distract Damage Control while Kamran was spirited to safety, Kamala stepped into her new life as a superhero more officially--and was given a real costume by her mother. The fight also allowed dozens of onlookers to meet Kamala in her superhero alter ego for the first time--giving her an even more public debut than her hasty antics at AvengersCon.
Ultimately, Kamran was able to escape--not before learning of his mother's demise back in Pakistan and having a crisis of faith that very nearly sent him down a dark path--and flee the country, meeting up with Kareem (AKA Red Dagger) in Pakistan, despite Kareem's mission to protect the world from the likes of the Clandestine. We don't get to see much from them at the end--just that they met up and that Kamran made it overseas safely, so we can assume their newfound partnership will be explored in a potential second season.
Back in the States, Bruno ends things by deciding to accept his CalTech scholarship, despite knowing that will take him to the other side of the country, while Nakia takes her duties on the mosque board to the next level. Kamala, meanwhile, looks to her family to start figuring out her superhero identity--but she still hasn't settled on a name. With Damage Control mostly off her back (and a large social media following springing up with positive reactions), it seems like she'll have a fair amount of time to figure things out as she goes, unless of course a major problem arises in the meantime.
