Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is a 2023 American superhero film based on Marvel Comics. It is the sequel to Ant-Man (2015) and Ant-Man and the Wasp (2018) and the 31st film of the Marvel Cinematic Universe will be released on February 17, 2023.
It’s time for another Marvel movie, and I guess it’s Ant-Man’s turn. Let’s welcome back the tiny superhero whose main superpower is Paul Rudd’s outsize charm.
Quantumania is a breezy, bizarro sci-fi adventure in the mold of Thor: Ragnarok, as familiar faces from the Marvel roster drop into an alien realm for fun and fighting before inspiring the locals to rise up and overthrow a hateful dictator.
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania premiered in Los Angeles on February 6, 2023, and will be released in the United States on February 17, 2023, as the first film in Phase Five of the MCU. The film received mixed reviews from critics, who praised Majors’ performance but criticized the plot and emotional weight.
The film is directed by Peyton Reed, written by Jeff Loveness, and stars Paul Rudd as Scott Lang and Evangeline Lilly as Hope van Dyne alongside Jonathan Majors, Michelle Pfeiffer, Michael Douglas, Kathryn Newton, David Dastmalchian, William Jackson Harper, Katy O’Brian, and Bill Murray. In the film, Lang and Van Dyne are transported to the Quantum Realm along with their family and face Kang the Conqueror.
Plans for a third Ant-Man film were confirmed in November 2019, with Reed and Rudd returning. Loveness was hired by April 2020, with development on the film beginning during the COVID-19 pandemic. The film’s title and new cast members were announced in December 2020.
