Why is Marvel Lying to Us so Blatantly?

Why is Marvel Lying to Us so Blatantly?

**SPOILERS FOR ANT-MAN AND THE WASP AND AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR BELOW. READER DISCRETION IS ADVISED.**

So, Ant-Man and the Wasp is in theaters, and Wasp, Hank Pym, and Janet van Dyne are gone. They were dusted in the aftermath of Thaons' snap. However, we do know that Wasp, Hank, and Janet are going to be in the film. So what gives?

Then it goes to a bigger issue; after the huge dusting, with Peter Parker, T'Challa, and Stephen Strange all being dusted, we knew that they were coming back. And so the natural thing to do is to ask the head, Kevin Feige, as well as the directors and writers. But to our surprise, they doubled down on their statements, saying that these characters are going to be dead for good.

So what gives? Why are they lying so blatantly to us? They tell us that Black Panther is gone forever, and yet Spider-Man: Far From Home is shooting, Guardians of the Galaxy: Volume 3 is almost there, and Black Panther 2 and Doctor Strange 2 have been confirmed. This is beyond ridiculous; I'm not quite sure whether Marvel is dumb and thinks we're dumb, or if they have some massive reason for saying these things. I'm leaning towards somewhere in the middle. I think this is a big situation of JJ Abrams and Khan.

If you remember, when Star Trek: Into Darkness was coming out, Abrams vehemently denied that Benedict Cumberbatch was playing Khan. And then the movie came out and lo and behold, he was playing Khan. I think this is the same situation. We all know that these heroes aren't dead, but Marvel continues denying it simply because they can't just reveal they're all alive. 

Then again, maybe they have some big reason for this, but one thing is for sure; they'r enot all dead. Marvel is not that stupid, and I expect a big reveal in the film.

Ant-Man and the Wasp is in theaters now and Avengers 4 will be in theaters next May.
