Marvel Studios released the first trailer for Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and it’s worth combing over with a microscope.
As the Marvel Cinematic Universe speeds towards the end of its divisive Phase 4 of filmmaking, the Hollywood giant has lined up a one-two punch that is sure to knock out superhero fans as we speed into Phase 5.
Next month will see the release of one of Marvel Studios most anticipated films ever, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. The sequel promises to be an emotional rollercoaster as it bravely navigates the tragic death of Chadwick Boseman and the passing of the Black Panther mantle in the MCU.
A few short months later, Marvel is offering yet another sequel that will expand another corner of the MCU like never seen before as well. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is the third chapter in the trilogy that will up the action and adventure in ways never before seen in the franchise.

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania Teaser Trailer
Paul Rudd returns as Scott Lang and this time he is truly bringing his entire family along for the ride. Evangeline Lilly returns as Hope Van Dyne, aka the Wasp, and this time they will be joined by Scott’s daughter Cassie, who promises to become a superhero in her own right before the credits roll. Hollywood legends Michael Douglas and Michelle Pfeiffer return as Hank Pym and Janet Van Dyne respectively, while Jonathan Majors returns to the MCU, for the first time, as Kang the Conqueror.
The trailer offers the scope and feel of Marvel’s cosmic properties, such as Guardians of the Galaxy, while keeping the familial dynamic and humor that has endeared the Ant-Man franchise to moviegoers. We also get our first detailed look at the Quantum Realm, along with the small city that was only glimpsed in the first Ant-Man film, and it truly seems like anything is possible.

In addition to a comic book accurate Kang, who looks to offer all the menace and villainy that we would expect from the Big Bad of the Multiversal Saga, we also get a brief glimpse of Bill Murray in his mystery role. While the nature of Murray’s character wasn’t revealed, we do have a good idea of how he fits into the larger framework.
This is only the first trailer and we are sure to get a much better look at Quantumania in the coming months. Surely Marvel, and Scott Lang, hope that this is the film that will finally make Ant-Man a household name. We will find out soon.
