Scott and Hope team up ↗

Scott Lang is trying to balance fatherhood with life as Ant-Man when Hope van Dyne and Hank Pym bring him a new mission. This time he must work alongside the Wasp, with questions from the past driving their adventure. Peyton Reed returns to direct.

The partnership changes the rhythm of the action. Watch how Scott and Hope approach the same problem, and how changing size turns ordinary spaces into obstacles or opportunities. The personal commitments surrounding the mission give the comedy something to push against.

Start with Ant-Man for the central relationships and the shrinking technology. That is our focused entry route for this sequel, rather than a claim that every intervening MCU appearance is mandatory.

This Phase 3 sequel builds on the people and technology introduced in Ant-Man. Its release position follows Infinity War, but the two films have different immediate focuses; release order remains the simplest way to avoid revealing later developments too early.

The catalog records 1h 59m (119 minutes); Disney Movies lists 1h 58m. Disney lists July 6, 2018, compared with the catalog’s July 4. The metadata above retains the catalog values.
