From the Marvel Cinematic Universe comes a new chapter
featuring heroes with the astonishing ability to shrink: “Ant-Man and The
Wasp.” In the aftermath of “Captain
America: Civil War,” Scott Lang (Rudd)
grapples with the consequences of his choices as both a Super Hero and a
father. As he struggles to rebalance his
home life with his responsibilities as Ant-Man, he’s confronted by Hope van
Dyne (Lilly) and Dr. Hank Pym (Douglas) with an urgent new mission. Scott must
once again put on the suit and learn to fight alongside The Wasp as the team
works together to uncover secrets from their past.
This will be the 20th entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe
and sequel to 2015’s Ant-Man. That original film was another critical and
commercial success for the studio, grossing $519.3 million at the worldwide box
office. Scott Lang also appeared in 2016’s Captain America: Civil War as a
member of Cap’s team. Ant-Man and the Wasp marks the first time a woman
superhero serves as the co-lead in an MCU production, with Evangeline Lilly’s
Hope van Dyne taking the mantle of The Wasp to form a formidable team with
Scott. The film was officially announced as part of the MCU slate in October
2015, just a few months after the success of the first movie. It began
production in August 2017 and ran through November of that year.
Ant-Man first appeared in Marvel Comics in 1962, in Tales to
Astonish #27. Wasp debuted a year later in Tales to Astonish #44.

Now that Avengers: Infinity War has hit theaters and
devastated everyone, all eyes are turning to the next installment of the Marvel
Cinematic Universe: Ant-Man and the Wasp, starring Paul Rudd as Ant-Man and
Evangeline Lilly as The Wasp.
Spoilers for Avengers: Infinity War ahead.
One of the surprises from Infinity War was the absence of
several characters: Hawkeye, Ant-Man, and The Wasp. The film waved away their
absence by claiming they were all under house arrest. Given that this film is
set prior to the events of Avengers: Infinity War, it’s likely that we’ll get
an idea of why they sat Infinity War out, and hopefully, it won’t end with them
getting dusted.
Ant-Man and the Wasp hits theaters on July 6th, 2018. Follow
along for all of the updates, trailers, and news for the film.
