Marvel’sAnt-Man and the Wasphas finally wrapped production as of late last night, according to director Peyton Reed.Ant-Man and the Wasp began shootingon August 1, with Marvel Studios releasing a brief teaser video that showcased the official logo for this highly-anticipated sequel. Now that production has wrapped, the countdown begins for the first trailer to surface, as the post-production process begins, as we get closer and closer to the August 17, 2025 release date.
This news comes just after star Paul Rudd showed off thenew Ant-Man costumeduring a special video he prepared for the HBO specialNight of Too Many Stars, directly from theAnt-Man and the Waspset. We also recently got our first glimpse at Michelle Pfieffer as Janet Van Dyne, the thought-to-be-dead wife of Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) and mother of Hope Van Dyne (Evangeline Lilly). While very little about her return is known, the firstAnt-Manmovie established that she had disappeared into what has become known as the Quantum Realm, which no one had ever previously escaped from, until Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) managed to do just that with hisAnt-Mansuit.
We also got set photos in late September that teased an epic fight betweenWasp and the villainous Ghost, a new character played by Hannah John-Kamen. Also making their MCU debuts in this sequel are Laurence Fishburne as Dr. Bill Foster, who, in the comics becomes a character known as Goliath, Walton Goggins as Sonny Burch and Randall Park as S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Jimmy Woo. It’s possible that this movie could be the first to show S.H.I.E.L.D. as a legitimate organization again, after it was destroyed from the inside out inCaptain America: The Winter Soldier, and legitimized in the last season ofMarvel’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 Marvel Cinematic Universe comes a new chapter featuring heroes with the astonishing ability to shrink:Ant-Man and The Wasp. In the aftermath ofCaptain America: Civil War, Scott Lang (Rudd) 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 (Lilly) and Dr. Hank Pym (Douglas) with an urgent new mission. Scott must once again put on the suit and learn to fight alongsideThe Waspas the team works together to uncover secrets from their past.Ant-Man and the Waspalso brings back returningAnt-Mancharacters such as Luis (Michael Pena), Dave (T.I.), Kurt (David Dastmalchian), Paxton (Bobby Cannavale), Maggie Lang (Judy Greer) and Cassie Lang (Abby Ryder Fortson).
