Hulk ’s architectural plan was to creep inside Ant - Man ’s torso and shoot down him , which is exactlywhat rooter wanted Ant - Man to do to Thanos in the MCU . Of course , there are a few key differences , including the respective points of entry and the fact that Hulk would n’t have been able to chop-chop grow inside Ant - Man like Ant - Man would have inside Thanos . However , killing an opponent who has a tough exterior from the inside - out is the broad - apoplexy stop of these plans , which is why it ’s interesting that it was just flipped on Ant - Man .

The " Thanos Butt Theory " was popular among MCU fan during the principal up to Avengers : Endgame , but now Ultimates # 6 has put it to the test .

It seems Hulk should be careful when using an attack like this on Ant - Man , as Wasp proved that Hulk is susceptible to the same affair , and could face that fate himself .
