Paul Rudd Has Great News About Ant-Man And The Wasp: Quantumania
It's been an exciting year for Marvel fans so far. After an entire year without any new content from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, 2021 has been busy for fans of the MCU. With "WandaVision," "The Falcon and The Winter Soldier," and Marvel's "Loki" series making their Disney+ debuts along with the upcoming theatrical releases of "Black Widow," "Shang-Chi," "The Eternals," and "Spiderman: No Way Home," 2021 might just be the MCU's busiest year yet.
Now, fans have some more incredible news about another hotly anticipated Marvel film — "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania" is now in production. Paul Rudd casually dropped the news in a video on Kansas City Chiefs star Tyreek Hill's Instagram, where the actor was promoting Hill's upcoming Celebrity Basketball Game Fundraiser. Since the release date for "Quantumania" won't come until February 2023, we'll have to wait a while to see the film. Not much has been revealed about the film's plot yet, but we have some ideas about what's to come.
Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania will be a big part of Marvel Phase Four
Ant-Man himself, Paul Rudd, shared that he is currently in London filming "Quantumania." The first two "Ant-Man" films were filmed predominately in Atlanta and San Francisco, with the latter being the film's setting as well, so this international production is certainly a departure. We're excited to see Scott Lang and Hope van Dyne take on a whole new country. As the film's name suggests, we'll be seeing a lot more of the Quantum Realm in this upcoming film, too. We were first introduced to this strange scientific plane in the first Ant Man film and audiences should remember the Quantum Realm's world-altering impact in "Avengers: Endgame." Might we be seeing some more time travel in this upcoming film? We certainly hope so.
Additionally, fans of Marvel Comics were incredibly excited when it was announced that Kang the Conquerer would be joining the MCU in "Quantumania," and will be played by Jonathan Majors. After Thanos' death in "Endgame," the MCU is ready for another supervillain, and if the comics are any indication, that new ultimate bad guy might be Kang. While we'll have to wait over a year to see "Quantumania," we're sure Kevin Feige and Co. will be teasing out more details of the upcoming installment — and we can't wait to find more out.
