This is the correct deduction, provided any of the rumours are genuine; fan speculation is often a hit-or-miss deal. Here's how much we know however. It's not much to go off of, but at this point I don't imagine Hank Pym will be the creator of Ultron if he is in his senior years and not even set to cameo in Avengers 2. Likewise, I doubt the Wasp will feature in the Avengers 2-- at least, not the modern incarnation we are familiar with. Ergo, you have fans speculating that she might be Hank's daughter in the next movie.

I would have preferred Hank Pym to receive a cinematic debut that was accurate to his origin story as well. I hope Tony Stark will not create Ultron, as he spends far too much time in the limelight already. I don't mind when directors take creative liberties with the subject material either, so long as the alterations are not completely pointless and made at the expense of other characters' personal development. Stealing [what is arguably] the origin story of a founding Avenger is where I draw the line.

Well, I heard some *admittedly pretty damn crazy* theory about Janet Van Dyne being... Hank's daughter in the movie?

At this point I don't know what to expect. Apparently Edgar Wright is eyeing a relatively young actress by the name of Rashida Jones for the role of the Wasp, meanwhile Hank Pym's actor (Michael Douglas) is pushing seventy. I can see where this rumour sprung from; the age gap is formidable. I mean, even in the comics Hank Pym is shown to be fairly older than Janet (they had a student/mentor relationship). By ten years perhaps, but I think this is pushing it.

I promise to tell the truth, and nothing but the truth.

talewind. Have you ever played footsie before?

I just noticed that Patman responded to you with several similar comments, but I am going to post my response anyhow--!
(I DID NOT JUST WRITE THIS FOR NO REASON, SHOO.)

In the comics, the X-Men and Avengers coexist in the same universe. The only reason they are not shown onscreen simultaneously in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is because the rights to each franchise is owned by a different company; Fox owns X-Men, whilst Disney owns the Avengers. This has lead to some awkward double-casting for certain characters that straddle the boundary between series, e.g. Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch are mutant Avengers. Who owns the rights to them? They are Magneto's children, yet they are also longtime Avengers and indeed most of their character development has been sustained through association with the latter. Pietro Maximoff and Wanda Maximoff will be played by different actors in Days of Future Past and Age of Ultron, but there still remains the quandary of whether their familial/mutant heritage may be referred to or addressed in the former (since Magneto is associated with X-Men storylines, and is thereby owned by Fox).

For a run-down of Marvel character rights, here's a comprehensive list.

Interestingly, I once heard a fan muse that they actually preferred the current movie set-up of having the Avengers and the X-Men separated into different universes because the X-Men "couldn't exist without making every other group of superhumans seem like assholes."

Yes, Hank Pym built Ultron. There is a rumour going 'round that Tony Stark shall build Ultron in the movies, which is unfortunate if so since Ultron played a huge role in Hank Pym's development as a character. Ultron was patterned off Pym's brain patterns; their stories are interconnected. You literally cannot have Ultron without Hank Pym.

It's worth note that Hank Pym will be played by an older actor in Ant-Man. So Hank Pym will not be in the Ant-Man suit anyways, instead it will star the second Ant-Man: Scott Lang. On a tangentially unrelated note, this opens up two possibilities: a) Hank Pym cameos as Yellowjacket, Giant Man, etc. and b) Young Avengers sequel.

Think of it this way: at least you'll (probably) be more prepared than your peers for life outside of secondary education. Graduating prematurely generally entails extra challenges for the individual involved, such as adapting to a system that is geared toward a later stage in development; possessing the necessary prerequisites, skills or intellect is not always enough. A graduate at sixteen is more susceptible to exploitation than one at eighteen, or nineteen. Precociousness is not a saving grace.

Wouldn't they fit the third option, then? No, but my parents should be divorced.

I have absolutely no intention of doing anything with this information, as per usual. It's just curiosity fueling the inferno.

As an aside, I'm willing to bet most of the people who voted ~5+ are referring to people they know online. The Dunbar's number is probably significantly higher when you factor in e-relationships/friendships, and as with any subgroup or specific niche you're more likely to find out someone's parents were divorced online as people don't generally divulge this information vis-a-vis.

I appreciate the thought. But much as I wish it was the case, realismo mágico doesn't exist outside of fiction. He is a genuinely OK person when he isn't drunk, though nine times out of ten he is indeed. He can often be heard yelling nationalistic songs, and shouting, and doing other unsavory drunkenly things like launching firecrackers and shooting guns for no apparent reason. His mother used to beg at the door, and now-- she hasn't been seen for months, and might be dead. She was incapacitated at a mental health facility for some time. It was rumoured the son withheld money from her, hence her motive for requesting monetary assistance; there was a bit of senility embedded within the act too. I hate to admit it and in doing so abide by a dreadful preconception, but they are a Romani family. Rather typically. :/ Did I mention there is a daughter? She couldn't be more than six years old.

My next-door neighbor is firing his gun again, in the middle of the night.

Friend, you're so Asian I might as well start addressing you as Yellowface.

I'm also perhaps ~4.99% Irish from my maternal great-grandfather. I really like potatoes. Maybe this is a sign.

"Asian" is a very broad term that encompasses an entire geographic region and so presenting yourself under such designation does not give much away with regards to cultural/ethnic identity (and subsequently the system of measurement of whatever country you reside in). The term thereof is mostly only utilized by nonnatives, or second/third-generation immigrants. Technically, Pakistani people are Asian. Yet they possess distinct physical characteristics that separate them from Asians in say, China.

I am weary of people who say they are "Asian" because I've never met an "Asian" that referred to themselves by such. But this is rather besides the point, isn't it.

Waiting for someone from across the Atlantic to call out the blatant reliance on a systemic form of measurement which utilizes units the rest of the world hasn't even touched since the 19th century. American savages, et cetera.

In jest.
