Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania Teaser, My Thoughts

The Mighty Marvel Cinematic Universe marches on! The MCU has seen its fair share of new heroes take up the spotlight, most recently the Sensational She-Hulk bringing the laughs and Werewolf by Night opening up the more...monstrous side of the universe.

However, there are still plenty of older heroes getting play. One of them is Scott Lang, aka the Astonishing Ant-Man. Debuting in 2015's Ant-Man, Scott (portrayed by Paul Rudd) would have further adventures in 2018's Ant-Man and the Wasp and 2019's Avengers: Endgame. And like Captain America, Iron Man, and Spider-Man before him, he's getting his own trilogy of movies. This film, the MCU's 31st movie, will kick off the MCU's Phase Five. Let's look at the trailer for Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania!

And we're startin' with a cool tune from Elton John. Goodbye Yellow Brick Road...

Ha ha, from being fired from Baskin-Robbins to being their Employee of the Century. Vindication is a wonderful thing.

Scott Lang enjoying the celebrity life. Good for him.

Oh, nice nod to No Way Home there.

I've long believed that the Quantum Realm is the MCU version of the Microverse. I know it's not likely, but a nod to the Micronauts would be nice.

Yeah, I can imagine Miss Van Dyne is in no rush to return to the Quantum Realm.

Oopsie.

Whoa. Now those are visuals!

Heh. That dude has a flashlight for a head.

Janet, did you punch a VIP there in a drunken rage?

OH MAH GAWD. THAT'S CHRONOPOLIS! CHRONOPOLIS!

I love the big ol' Pyramid in the center. A nice nod to Rama-Tut, perhaps?

Kang looks AWESOME. He looks like he stepped right out of the comics!

I get the idea that Kang wants to recruit Scott for a heist. Would make a nice connection to the first film. It was a heist that made Scott Lang into the Ant-Man, and a heist could be his final adventure.

I am honestly hyped for this movie! I think the Ant-Man movies are underrated. I love that the third film is seemingly much bigger in scope. After two films on a smaller scale and being a supporting character in Endgame, it's cool to see the Ant-Family get their own big epic adventure. And it will be cool to see Jonathan Majors' portrayal of Kang. He has played another version of him in Loki, so it'll be cool to see him tackle the Conqueror.
