Ant-Man and the Wasp

Marvel Studios' Phase Five official kicks off with the big-screen introduction of the Avengers' next arch enemy.

The bigger Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania lands at the box office, the better the future looks for the rest of the MCU through 2023 and into the rest of Marvel’s Phase Five. Last year, the MCU was in the same boat as the rest of Hollywood, watching as theatrical revenue slowly improved and got to far better and profitable levels, but still not yet at pre-pandemic levels. If mainstream public interest is “settling” downward to something more in the $700-900+ million range as the average and $1+ billion reserved for breakout franchises and team-up event films, then it speaks to the sustainability of interest in superhero genre films. So the “inevitability” of Marvel’s box office dominance has been shaken through the pandemic and things still haven’t returned fully to the level of audience embrace seen during Marvel’s pre-pandemic Infinity Saga era. This is the Ant-Man franchise’s attempt to swing for the fences. Internationally, I expect an even bigger result to the tune of at least $150+ million and potentially — albeit unlikely — as high as $200 million across the same four-day period, depending on how hungry for Marvel content audiences are in China.

Marvel films may, of course, be critic-proof because fans of the series will undoubtedly want to watch Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) vs Kang the Conqueror (Jonathan ...

Kang the Conqueror is coming, are the MCU heroes ready to face the time-traveling menace? Kathryn Newton, Paul Rudd, Jonathan Majors, Evangeline Lily, and ...

David Dastmalchian, who has appeared in Ant-Man and Ant-Man and the Wasp movies as Kurt Goreshter, the cybercriminal friend of Scott Lang, Luis, and Dave, will return but in a completely unrecognizable avatar in Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania. He has also appeared in films and shows such as Midsommar, Love Life Season 2, The Resort, and The Underground Railroad. In the comics, Jentorra is the niece of Queen Jarella, leader of the planet K'ai. However, he will be returning as another supervillain in Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania, as the hyper-intelligent menace M.O.D.O.K. Krylar is a relatively minor character from the comics and his only appearance was in an issue of The Incredible Hulk from back in 1972. [played He Who Remains in the Loki TV series](https://collider.com/kang-he-who-remains-loki-season-1-finale/), and he teased the cunning time-traveling villain. His daughter Cassie is the latest to join the crew, showing a similar interest in electronics and the Quantum realm as her father. However, in Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania, it seems his family is once again in danger, along with him, after they get trapped in the Quantum realm after the accident at his lab. Hope and Scott are still very much in love, as she takes part in every sphere of his life, from sharing the limelight with him on the red carpet to co-parenting his daughter, Cassie. He is also known for his work with filmmaker Judd Apatow, having appeared in several of his films including The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up, and This Is 40. Scott Lang aka the Ant-Man has always been one of the most underrated and underappreciated heroes in the MCU. This is director Peyton Reed’s third film in the Ant-Man film series, becoming only the second MCU director to complete a trilogy after Jon Watts' work on the Spider-Man movies, and he'll soon be followed by James Gunn with his work on the Guardians of the Galaxy films.

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantamania is almost here. The excitement surrounding the film surpasses a typical standalone superhero movie due to the presence of ...

Together, with Hope’s parents Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) and Janet Van Dyne (Michelle Pfeiffer), the family finds themselves exploring the Quantum Realm, interacting with strange new creatures and embarking on an adventure that will push them beyond the limits of what they thought was possible. The Peyton Reed directorial continues the story of Paul Rudd's Scott Lang, his daughter Cassie Lang (Kathryn Newton) who is now an adult, Hope van Dyne (Evangeline Lilly), Janet van Dyne (Michelle Pfeiffer), and Hank Pym (Michael Douglas). The reason for this heightened anticipation is the presence of Kang the Conqueror (Jonathan Majors), who takes over from Thanos as the next big supervillain of the Multiverse Saga in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

In Quantumania, Ant-Man and the Wasp are sucked into the Quantum Realm. What to watch if you want a refresher before you go in.

Ant-Man and the Wasp zooms in on the relationships (and repressed trauma!) in the Pym-van Dyne family — and it's worth remembering that at the end of this movie, Hank, Janet, and Hope are all victims of the Snap, and Scott was trapped in the Quantum Realm for all five years of the Blip. It's not technically crucial backstory due to the multiversal nature of the MCU these days, but this talky, exposition-filled episode is a deeply consequential preamble for Phase 5 as a whole, and adds a whole heap of context for a character we're still getting to know by the end of AM&TW:Q. In Quantumania, Ant-Man, aka Scott Lang (Paul Rudd); Hope van Dyne, aka the Wasp (Evangeline Lilly); Scott's daughter, Cassie (Kathryn Newton); and Hope's parents, Hank Pym and Janet van Dyne, aka the original Ant-Man and Wasp (Michael Douglas and Michelle Pfeiffer) are all sucked into the Quantum Realm, a sprawling, tiny world that exists somewhere in the spaces between the matter of our own.
