Marvel Studios’Avengers: Infinity Warfinally hit theaters this past weekend, but the studio is already about to start shifting public attention towards their next film:Ant-Man and the Wasp. Given the massive scope ofInfinity War, not to mentionthat ending, it’s going to be very interesting to see how audiences respond toAnt-Man and the Waspthis summer. By all accounts this is much more of a family adventure movie, with far more intimate stakes (both literally and figuratively). While that sounds like a nice palate cleanser, theInfinity Warcliffhanger left all Marvel fans desperate to find outwhat happens next—andAnt-Man and the Waspdoes no such thing.
Indeed theAnt-Mansequel actually takes place before the events ofInfinity War, which makes perfect sense if you’ve seen theAvengerssequel. There’s no way you could go back to smiling heist shenanigans after what Thanos does. So we’re going to be jumping back in time a bit and to see what Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) has been up to, since he and Hawkeye were both wholly absent fromInfinity War—supposedly under house arrest following the events ofCaptain America: Civil War.
This poster is actually quite nifty, and even has a bit of a throwback vibe to it. It also gives us a nice overall look at the full ensemble, which includesMichelle Pfeifferas Janet van Dyne (the search for whom serves as the main plot of the film) andHannah John-Kamenas the villain Ghost.
Take a look at the newAnt-Man and the Waspposter below, and check back to watch a new trailer tomorrow. The film also starsEvangeline Lilly,Michael Douglas,Laurence Fishburne,Walton Goggins, andMichael Peńa.Ant-Man and the Waspopens in theaters on July 6th.
Here’s the official synopsis forAnt-Man and the Wasp:
From the Marvel Cinematic Universe comes “Ant Man and the Wasp,” a new chapter featuring heroes with the astonishing ability to shrink. In the aftermath of “Captain America: Civil War,” Scott Lang grapples with the consequences of his choices as both a Super Hero and a father. As he struggles to rebalance his home life with his responsibilities as Ant-Man, he’s confronted by Hope van Dyne and Dr. Hank Pym with an urgent new mission. Scott must once again put on the suit and learn to fight alongside the Wasp as the team works together to uncover secrets from the past.
