When mostMarvelmovies are in production, there will be any number of spoilers leaked on the Internet. Some are true, some are false and some are just plain bizarre. WhenAnt-Manwas in production last year, it too was the victim of various rumors. A lot of them revolving around the appearance of Yellowjacket, who was fully revealed in the very last trailer. Now thatCaptain America: Civil Waris currently in production, there is quite a bit leaking from that set as well. WithAnt-Manjust a few months away from release, directorPeyton Reedhas decided to mock the deluge ofMarvelspoilers by leaking the ending to his own movie. Of course, it is fake.
Peyton Reedwent on Twitter yesterday to announce he’d be spoilingAnt-Manin two parts. Though, both reveals are actually fromFred Hembeck Destroys the Marvel Universe, a one-shot comic book that revolved around killing off every superhero on earth whether they are on the side of good or evil. The pages included here showAnt-Man’s dire fate. Crackers, the hero of this one-shot spoof, finds the diminutive crime fighter battling the Water Wizard and blasts the Avenger into an unconscious state.Ant-Manhits the door of a suburban home, where an old lady discovers his wet body. She puts him in the microwave to dry him off, and this is howMarvel’s next big movie star reaches his rousing climax.
Fred Hembeck was well known for creating classic comic book parodies, his most famous of which was theFantastic FourRoast. In it, the entireMarveluniverse showed up to poke fun at this family of superheroes (who are getting their own reboot this summer). All of the spoofs he created were published by the owners of the characters he was going after.Fred Hembeck Destroys the Marvel Universewas published byMarvelin 1989. While we’re surely not going to witness these events in the actual movie, perhapsAnt-Manhas a run-in with a microwave? Until July, we won’t know. In the meantime, enjoy this superhero’s fate as once envisioned by Fred Hembeck courtesy of directorPeyton Reedhimself:
