Fire up the speculatron, rumors are flying fast and furious today that Stephanie Szostak will be playing Janet Van Dyne, aka the Wasp, in Iron Man 3. Hit me with your best shot
The Mary Sue:
First: Szostak is one of the top-billed cast members, which indicates that her character is going to have a larger role than the absolute lack of information Marvel has released about her so far would indicate.
Second: The mysterious Roger Wardell tweeted that “When Stephanie Szostak’s role is for Iron Man 3 is announced, fans will go crazy.” Wardell has made a habit of tweeting “Insider News” related to the Marvel films, and while he’s not that credible a source ScreenRant notes that he tweeted about the Falcon being in Captain America: The Winter Soldier before it became official. A tipster at ComicBook.com has also claimed that Szostak is playing the Wasp.
Third: Marvel’s given us a lot of information about Iron Man 3 so far, from tons of new armor designs to hints about the final battle. They’ve got to have an ace or two up their sleeve as far as surprising fans is concerned. ‘Tis the Marvel way.
Four: It’s already been rumored that Ant Man, a.k.a Hank Pym, will make an appearance in the Iron Man 3 post-credits sequence. Since Ant Man is the Wasp’s partner and, later, husband, introducing them both in Iron Man 3 would make sense.
Ok, that's far from conclusive evidence but since my post about Joseph Gordon-Levitt being
the Joker in The Dark Knight Rises got tons and tons of hits, I'm just going to go ahead and pretend this is fact. It makes sense, Black Widow was introduced in Iron Man 2, why not introduce another Avenger in Iron Man 3? Plus the Wasp is a founding member of the Avengers she kinda got hosed by being excluded from the movie Avengers.
