Ant-Man and the Wasp is an upcoming American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics characters Scott Lang / Ant-Man and Hope van Dyne / Wasp. Produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, it is intended to be the sequel to 2015's Ant-Man, and the twentieth film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The film is directed by Peyton Reed and written by the writing teams of Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers, and Paul Rudd, Andrew Barrer and Gabriel Ferrari. It stars Rudd as Lang and Evangeline Lilly as Van Dyne, alongside Michael Peña, Walton Goggins, Bobby Cannavale, Judy Greer, Tip "T.I." Harris, David Dastmalchian, Hannah John-Kamen, Abby Ryder Fortson, Randall Park, Michelle Pfeiffer, Laurence Fishburne, and Michael Douglas. In Ant-Man and the Wasp, the titular pair team up to embark on a new mission from Hank Pym.

Talks for a sequel to Ant-Man began shortly after that film was released. Ant-Man and the Wasp was officially announced in October 2015, with Rudd and Lilly returning to reprise their roles. Reed was officially returning from Ant-Man to direct a month later. Filming took place from August to November 2017, at Pinewood Atlanta Studios in Fayette County, Georgia, as well as Metro Atlanta, San Francisco, Savannah, Georgia, and Hawaii.

Ant-Man and the Wasp is scheduled to be released on July 6, 2018 in the United States in IMAX and 3D.

Premise

Set between the events of Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Infinity War, Scott Lang, now under house arrest after the events of Civil War,[1] tries to balance his home life as a father with his responsibilities as Ant-Man. When Hope van Dyne and Hank Pym present him with a new mission to bring to light secrets from their past, Lang teams up with Van Dyne as the new Wasp.[2]

Cast

Additionally Stan Lee, co-creator of the titular heroes, has a cameo in the film.[9] Tim Heidecker appears as one of the passengers on the ferry that Scott stops while in his giant form.[10]

Production

Development

It's such a no-brainer that there needs to be female heroes ... In the '60s comics, the Janet van Dyne Wasp was clearly written by all men and was pretty one-dimensional. She's gotten much more dimensionalized since then. That's one of those things that I think is going to be really exciting and fresh about this movie.

 —Director Peyton Reed on the Wasp's inclusion in the film[11]

In June 2015, Ant-Man director Peyton Reed expressed interest in returning for a sequel or prequel to that film, saying that he had "really fallen in love with these characters" and felt "there's a lot of story to tell with Hank Pym".[12] A month later, Pym actor Michael Douglas was not signed for any additional films, but "would look forward to more if it comes my way",[13] and expressed the desire to have his wife Catherine Zeta-Jones cast as Janet van Dyne for a potential follow-up.[14] Evangeline Lilly—who played the daughter of Pym and Van Dyne, Hope van Dyne—wanted to see Michelle Pfeiffer in the role.[15] Producer Kevin Feige revealed that the studio had a "supercool idea" for the next Ant-Man film, and "if audiences want it, we'll find a place to do it."[16] Reed also mentioned that there had been talks of doing a standalone adventure with Hank Pym as Ant-Man, possibly including the original opening to Ant-Man featuring Jordi Mollà which was cut from the final film. Eric Eisenberg of Cinema Blend opined that a standalone adventure with Pym and the cut sequence would be a good candidate to revive the Marvel One-Shots short film series.[17] By the end of July, David Dastmalchian expressed interest in returning for a sequel as Kurt.[18]

In October 2015, Marvel Studios confirmed the sequel, titled Ant-Man and the Wasp, with a scheduled release date of July 6, 2018.[19] Reed was in negotiations to direct the sequel by the end of the month,[20] and confirmed his return in November along with the confirmation of Paul Rudd and Lilly returning as Scott Lang / Ant-Man and Hope van Dyne / Wasp, respectively.[21] One of the things that appealed to Reed about returning was being able to build the film "from the ground up" after he joined the first film late in the process when the original writer and director Edgar Wright departed. He also wanted to explore elements that he set up in the first film.[22] Reed would first begin work on an outline for the sequel,[23] which he thought could be "weird, unique and different" now that the characters' origins had been established.[22] On including the Wasp in the film's title (the first MCU film to have a female character in the title), Reed called it "organic" for both characters, and noted the Wasp's final line in Ant-Man—'It's about damn time'—as "very much about her specific character and arc in that movie, but it is absolutely about a larger thing. It's about damn time: We’re going to have a fully realized, very very complicated hero in the next movie who happens to be a woman."[22] Reed would also push to ensure the Wasp received equal publicity and merchandise for the film, and even though Janet van Dyne had yet to be cast, he had a desire to explore her backstory in the film and "definite ideas" of who should portray her.[11] That month, Adam McKay, one of the writers of Ant-Man, expressed interest in returning to write the film,[24] and Douglas confirmed that he was in talks to return as well.[21]

Reed stated in early December that the film may "call back" to the heist film genre and tone of Ant-Man, but that Ant-Man and the Wasp would "have an entirely different genre template". He hoped to incorporate additional flashback sequences in the film, as well as explore Pym's various identities from the comics and his psychology. Reed also said he was "excited" about exploring and discovering the film version of the Ant-Man and Wasp relationship that is "a romantic partnership and a heroic partnership" in the comics, a "different dynamic than we've seen in the rest of the [MCU], an actual partnership." Additionally, Reed mentioned that pre-production would "probably" start in October 2016, with filming scheduled for early 2017.[25] Production writers for the first film, Gabriel Ferrari and Andrew Barrer, signed on to write the script along with Rudd,[26] with writing starting "in earnest" in January 2016.[25] The next month, McKay confirmed that he would be involved with the film in some capacity.[27] By April, the four writers and Reed had been "holed up in a room ... brainstorming the story", with Reed promising that it would have "stuff in it that you've never ever seen in a movie before".[28] Feige added that they wanted to "stay true to what made [Ant-Man] so unique and different", and teased the potential of seeing the Giant-Man version of Lang that was introduced in Captain America: Civil War.[29]

In June 2016, Reed said that for inspiration from the comics he had been looking at "early Avengers stuff and all the way up to the Nick Spencer stuff now", and was focusing on iconic images that could be replicated in the film over story beats from the comics. He added that there was "definitely a chance" for Michael Peña, Tip "T.I." Harris, and Dastmalchian to reprise their respective roles as Luis, Dave, and Kurt from the first film.[30] At San Diego Comic-Con 2016, Feige stated that Reed and Rudd were still working on the script,[31] and that filming was now expected to begin in June 2017.[31][32] Rudd elaborated that they had "turned in a treatment, but it's so preliminary. We'll see. We have an idea of what it might look like, but it could change a lot from where we're at now."[33] The next month, Peña was confirmed to be returning as Luis,[34] while filming was revealed to be taking place in Atlanta, Georgia.[35] In early October, an initial script had been completed for the film that was awaiting approval from Marvel.[36]

Pre-production

At the start of November 2016, Reed said that the film's production would be transitioning from "the writing phase" to "official prep" that month, beginning with visual development. Reed reiterated his excitement for introducing the Wasp and "really designing her look, the way she moves, the power set, and figuring out, sort of, who Hope van Dyne is as a hero". He also talked about sharing characters with other MCU films, stating his disappointment in the Giant-Man introduction happening in Civil War, rather than an Ant-Man film. Reed added that he spends "a lot of time" talking with the other writers and directors of MCU films, and that he and the writers on this film wished to maintain "our little Ant-Man corner of the universe. Because it's a whole different vibe tonally".[37]

In February 2017, Douglas confirmed that he would reprise his role as Hank Pym in the film.[38] During the Hollywood premiere of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 in April, Dastmalchian confirmed his return as Kurt,[6] and a month later, Harris confirmed his return as Dave as well.[5] Through that May, Marvel was meeting with several actresses for a "key role" in the sequel, with Hannah John-Kamen cast in the part at the beginning of June.[39] The following month, Randall Park joined the cast as Jimmy Woo,[8] and Walton Goggins was cast in an undisclosed role.[40] At San Diego Comic-Con 2017, Park's casting was confirmed; John-Kamen and Goggins roles were revealed to be Ghost and Sonny Burch, respectively; and the casting of Pfeiffer as Janet van Dyne and Laurence Fishburne as Bill Foster was announced.[7] Judy Greer was confirmed to be reprising her role as Maggie from the previous film the following week.[4] The Russo brothers, directors of Avengers: Infinity War and its untitled sequel which were filming while Ant-Man and the Wasp was preparing to film, were in constant discussion with Reed in order to ensure story elements would line up between the films. Joe Russo added that Ant-Man and the Wasp would have "some [plot] elements that stitch in" closely with Avengers: Infinity War, more so than some of the other films leading up to the Avengers films.[41]

Filming

Principal photography began on August 1, 2017,[2] at Pinewood Atlanta Studios in Fayette County, Georgia,[35][42] under the working title Cherry Blue,[43] Dante Spinotti served as director of photography.[2] At the start of filming, Marvel revealed that Bobby Cannavale and Abby Ryder Fortson would also be reprising their roles from the first film, respectively as Paxton and Cassie. They also revealed the writing team of Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers had contributed to the screenplay.[2]

Filming also took place in Metro Atlanta, with filming locations including the Atlanta International School, the Midtown and Buckhead districts of Atlanta and the Samuel M. Inman Middle School in the city's Virginia-Highland neighborhood, as well as Emory University and the Atlanta Motor Speedway in Hampton, Georgia.[44] Additional filming took place in San Francisco in September 2017,[45] in Savannah, Georgia in late October,[46] and in Hawaii.[47] Production wrapped on November 19, 2017.[48]

Post-production

In late November, Lilly said that the characters would be trying to enter the Quantum Realm in the film, and their potential success would "open a whole entire new multi-verse to enter into and play around in" for the MCU.[49] Visual effects for the film were created by Method Studios.[50]

Music

In June 2017, Reed confirmed that Christophe Beck, who composed the score for Ant-Man, would return for Ant-Man and the Wasp.[51]

Release

Ant-Man and the Wasp is scheduled to be released in the United States on July 6, 2018,[19] in IMAX and 3D.[52][53] The film was scheduled to be released in the United Kingdom on June 29, 2018, but was rescheduled in November 2017 to August 3, 2018,[54] in order to avoid competition with the 2018 FIFA World Cup. Charles Gant of The Guardian and Screen International noted, "The worry for film distributors is that audiences will be caught up in the tournament. So it’s easier to play safe and not date your film at this time, especially during the group stage, when all the qualifying nations are competing." Tom Butler of Yahoo! Movies UK added that, unlike the first film, which was one of the lowest-grossing MCU films in the UK, anticipation levels for the film "are at an all-time high following the events of Infinity War" and "UK audiences will probably have found out what happens in the film well before it opens in UK cinemas, and this could have a negative impact on its box office potential."[55] This in turn led fans in the country to start a Change.org petition to have Disney move the release date up several weeks, similarly to how Avengers: Infinity War's United States release was moved up a week the previous May.[56]

Marketing

Concept art and "pre-CGI video" was shown at the 2017 San Diego Comic-Con.[57] In January 2018, Hyundai Motor America announced that the 2019 Hyundai Veloster would play a significant role in the film, with other Hyundai vehicles scheduled to make an appearance.[58] The first trailer for the film was released on January 30, 2018 on Good Morning America,[59] and used the guitar riff from Adam and the Ants' "Ants Invasion".[60] David Betancourt of The Washington Post called the release, the day after Black Panther's premiere was widely praised on social media, a "smart move"; with Black Panther and Avengers: Infinity War also releasing in 2018, "it can be easy [to] forget that hey, there is an Ant-Man sequel coming this year... So Marvel Studios giving us a quick reminder with this trailer release is logical".[61] Tracy Brown, writing for the Los Angeles Times, praised how the trailer prominently featured Lilly's Van Dyne "[showing] off how she was always meant to be a superhero".[62] A second trailer was released on May 1, 2018. Graeme McMillan of The Hollywood Reporter felt the trailer made the film feel "very much like an intentional antidote for, or at least alternative to, the grimness of Infinity War's downbeat ending", calling it "a smart move" since it could be considered "a palate cleanser and proof that Marvel has more to offer... before audiences dive back into the core narrative with next year's Captain Marvel."[63] In June 2018, Feige presented several scenes from the film at CineEurope.[64]

Box office projection

In June 2018, a month before its release, official industry tracking had Ant-Man and the Wasp debuting to $69–80 million,[65][66] while BoxOffice Magazine projected a final domestic gross of $225 million.[67]
