Marvel's ANT-MAN AND THE WASP is Being Teased as a "Mind Blowing" Sequel
Ant-Man may not be the most popular film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe but I loved it! It has a lot of great humor and a fun story. One of the things I liked about it most was that it had a very different vibe than the rest of the Marvel films. It sounds like the sequel, Ant-Man and the Wasp, is going to up the ante even more!
During a recent interview with EW, actor David Dastmalchian says that what they are planning is going to be mind-blowing. Dastmalchian plays the character Kurt in the film, who is one of Scott Lang's team members. He said:
"I can say Ant-Man and The Wasp is going to do things in the Marvel universe that they haven’t gotten an opportunity to do yet and I just got some tidbits the other day and they’re mind-blowing. It’s going to be really cool."
I can't wait to see how they play with Ant-Man further and see what these "mind-blowing" things will be. We really don't know much about the sequel, but we do know that Paul Rudd will reprise his role as the hero, and Evangeline Lilly’s Hope van Dyne will fully become The Wasp and fight right alongside Ant-Man in the film. Michael Douglas is also set to return as Hank Pym. When previously talking about the sequel, direction Peyton Reed teased some of the new technology we might see in the film, saying:
“There was one idea that Hank Pym has forwarded the shrinking and growing technology so that it’s not just necessarily the suits that are the vessels. Maybe it could be vehicles or something else as well.
“For Ant-Man specifically, in that first movie, the suit, intentionally so, is kind of a relic. It represents his past, so this is really the new iteration that is the modern version of the tech.”
We already saw an updated version of the Ant-Man suit in Captain America: Civil War, but I'm sure we'll see a new version of the suit when Ant-Man and The Wasp rolls around.

Ant-Man and The Wasp is scheduled for release on July 6, 2018.
