‘Ant-Man And The Wasp: Quantumania’ Is The Official Title Of ‘Ant-Man 3’
We now have an official title ofAnt-Man 3, and it’s a mouthful:Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. I almost feel like it should have an exclamation point at the end, like the reader has to shout “Quantumania!”, but that’s me.Peyton Reedis back in the director’s chair, andPaul Rudd,Evangeline Lilly,Michael Douglas, andMichele Pfeifferare all back as well. Newcomers to the franchise includeKathryn Newton, playing Ant-Man’s re-cast daughter Cassie, andJonathan Majorsas Kang the Conqueror.
Ready for someQuanumania? You better be, because that’s the title ofAnt-Man 3–Ant-Man 3: Quantumania. Today at the Disney Investor Day presentation, Marvel Studios head honcho Kevin Feige confirmed somethingpreviously reported: Jonathan Majors is playing Kang the Conqueror. In the comics, Kang is a 30th-century scholar named Nathaniel Richards. He’s also a possible descendant of Reed Richards, AKA Mr. Fantastic ofThe Fantastic Four, and since Marvelalsoannounced a newFantastic 4movie today, that might end up being relevant.
Meanwhile, another newcomer is Kathryn Newton, who can currently be seen inFreaky. She’ll be playing Cassie Lang, daughter of Scott Lang, AKA Ant-Man. Let’s just saw that she takes after her father in the comics and engages in her own super-heroics.
Paul Rudd is, of course, back as well, with Evangeline Lilly also returning as Hope van Dyne/Wasp; Michael Douglas as Hank Pym; and Michelle Pfeiffer as Janet van Dyne. And while he wasn’t part of the announcement, we have to hope and assume the bestAnt-Mancharacter, Michael Peña’s Luis, will be back as well.
Plot details are non-existent at the moment, but based on the title, the Quantum Realm will play a big part, as it has in the previous twoAnt-Manfilms. There’s no release date just yet, but I’m sure Marvel will get around to announcing that sooner or later.
