After four years since it was initially announced, the next movie in the ever-growing Marvel Cinematic Universe will be coming out on Feb. 17 and will be called “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania”. This new movie will be the third Ant-Man-centered movie and will complete the character’s trilogy. Even though it will be the completion of this Ant-Man trilogy, the movie will also be the first of many in Marvel’s new Phase five. 

This movie will bring back the widely known characters of Paul Rudd as Ant-Man and Evangeline Lilly as Hope Van Dyne. It will also bring in a newer character who we haven’t seen much of, Jonathan Majors as Kang the Conqueror, the new and powerful villain for the MCU. Rudd and Lilly have previously been known as more light-hearted characters, however this movie will set a different and more serious tone for the two as shown in the trailers.

Fans of Ant-Man and the MCU are prepared to see this movie be a base to further the MCU and set up many other storylines. Introducing the quantum realm with further explanation can set it up as a plot point for other movies and shows in the MCU. If the MCU decides to closely follow the comics then this movie could also be seen as Cassie Lang’s origin story for her extensive storyline that she has in the comics.
