‘Ant-Man and the Wasp’ trailer highlights to new ‘tiny duo’ in the wake of ‘Civil War’
Marvel dropped the first trailer for Ant-Man and the Wasp, giving fans their first look at this brand new film arriving later this summer.
It may still be surprising how popular MCU’s Ant-Man was with Paul Rudd playing the titular hero undoing the perspective of bizarre and making it fun for audiences. Rudd’s Scott Lang actually had heart and a great onscreen chemistry with Evangeline Lilly as Hope van Dyne, who becomes the Wasp.
The trailer teases events after Captain America: Civil War, where Scott was pulled in to help Captain America when he faced off with Tony Stark over their disagreement with the Sokovia Accords. Hope made it clear that had Scott brought her along to fight, they definitely would not have gotten arrested afterwords. This sets up future crossover events featuring the two of them.
The official synopsis says Scott will be grappling with the consequences of his choices after the events of Civil War. He will be struggling to re-balance his life as a dad and Ant-Man when Hope and Dr. Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) come to him with an urgent new mission.
