First 'Ant-Man and the Wasp' Trailer Launches Beautiful New Partnership
Meet the new dynamic duo.
Marvel released the first trailer for "Ant-Man and the Wasp," which brings back Paul Rudd as the thief-turned-tiny-superhero Scott Lang. The sequel teams him up with Evangeline Lilly's Hope Van Dyne, who gets a suit of her own.
They're on the run, after Scott's defeat along with Captain America's side in "Civil War." Her father, Hank Pym (Michael Douglas), goes with them, packing up his entire tech company in a tiny cube (a great visual gag). Not only must Scott and Hope evade the authorities, they also use their suits to enter the Quantum Realm to find her mother (Michelle Pfeiffer).
The trailer has the breezy, heist-like tone of the first movie, but adds a screwball romantic comedy vibe that plays off the chemistry between Rudd and Lilly. Also starring are Michael Peña, Walton Goggins, Bobby Cannavale, Judy Greer, and Laurence Fishburne.
"Ant-Man" and the Wasp" opens in theaters July 6, 2018.
