Ant-Man And The Wasp: Quantumania – Trailer Talk
November this year will not only see the release of ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’, it will also mark the end of Phase 4 in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Phase 5 won’t start until five months later with ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania’, the third film in the ‘Ant-Man’ series.
‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania’ sees Casey Lang (Kathryn Newton – Detective Pikachu) transport her, her father Scott Lang (Paul Rudd – Ant-Man), Hank Pym (Michael Douglas – Wall Street, Ant-Man) and Hope Van Dyme (Evangeline Lily – Ant-Man, The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies) into the quantum realm, where they meet various creatures, and take on a quest beyond what they thought was possible.
The trailer does a great job at not completely spoiling the film; after ‘Multiverse of Madness’, it’s clear Marvel is taking their films in the direction of creating a multiverse war of some kind. And the visuals are incredible. It’s reminiscent of the wonderous visuals of ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ as well as ‘Star Wars’ but gives the familiar atmosphere a new perspective by introducing them to new characters who have never experienced this before.
It also introduces Kang the Conqueror to the film universe. Played by Jonathan Mayors (Lovecraft Country, Captive State), Kang the Conqueror was first introduced in the Disney+ series ‘Loki’ and, while I am not familiar with the character, the actor is fantastic so I’m excited to see his portrayal.
Overall, ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania’ looks interesting but is also an indication of the direction of the Cinematic Universe after the conclusion of ‘Avengers: Endgame’. After being confused by its direction for a while, I’m glad the new phase has a clear route and I’m excited for it.
