Marvel’s Ant-Man and the Wasp has wrapped up its production according to the director, Peyton Reed. Ant-Man and the Wasp had begun shooting on August 1, with Marvel Studios releasing a teaser that had showcased the official logo for the sequel. Now that its production has finished, the countdown begins for its trailer as the post-production process begins.
The news comes after star Paul Rudd showed off the new Ant-Man costume during a special video that he had prepared for the HBO special Night of Too Many Stars. We recently got a glimpse at Michelle Pfieffer as Janet Van Dyne, the thought-to-be-dead wife of Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) and the mother of Hope Van Dyne (Evangeline Lilly). While little about her return is known, the first Ant-Man movie had established that she disappeared into what has become known as the Quantum Realm, which no one had ever escaped from until Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) managed to do that with his Ant-Man suit.
We got set photos in September that had teased a fight between Wasp and the Ghost who is a character that is played by Hannah John-Kamen. It is possible that the movie may be the first to show S.H.I.E.L.D. as a legitimate organization after it had been destroyed from the inside out in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and legitimized in the last season of Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., although we haven’t seen S.H.I.E.L.D. make a comeback on the movie side of the MCU quite yet.
From the MCU comes a whole new chapter that features heroes with the ability to shrink: Ant-Man and The Wasp. In the aftermath of Captain America: Civil War, Scott Lang grapples with a series of consequences of his choices as a Super Hero and a father. As he struggles to balance his home life and responsibilities as Ant-Man, he is confronted by Hope van Dyne (Lilly) and Dr. Hank Pym (Douglas) with a new mission. Scott must put on the suit and fight with The Wasp as the team tries to uncover secrets from the past. Ant-Man and the Wasp bring back characters like as Luis (Michael Pena), Dave (T.I.), Kurt (David Dastmalchian), Paxton (Bobby Cannavale), Maggie Lang (Judy Greer) and Cassie Lang (Abby Ryder Fortson).
Peyton Reed takes the helm for the superhero sequel, working from a script written by Paul Rudd, Gabriel Ferrari, Andrew Barrer, Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers, based on characters created by Stan Lee, Larry Lieber, and Jack Kirby. Marvel shall release Ant-Man and the Wasp on July 6, 2018, where it will go up against Lionsgate’s action-comedy The Spy Who Dumped Me with Mila Kunis and Kate McKinnon.
