The Marvel Cinematic Universe’s smallest superhero is set to return to our screens in the not too distant future, with Peyton Reed’s threequel Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania expected to begin production this summer. So far, we know very little about the project, but it’s shaping up to be a pivotal installment in the franchise based entirely on the villain.
No offense to the Ant-Man franchise, but eyebrows were raised when Jonathan Majors was announced as the potentially game-changing Kang the Conqueror in a standalone series that’s posted some of the lowest box office returns in the MCU’s history. Of course, the unpredictable nature of the Quantum Realm means that anything can happen, with Kang’s involvement already leading to speculation that Quantumania could lay the foundations for a fifth Avengers epic or Jon Watts’ Fantastic Four.
The only other major new addition to the cast is Freaky‘s Kathryn Newton, who replaces Emma Fuhrmann as Cassie Lang, which offers yet another hint that the Young Avengers are also on their way to the MCU. However, one supporting player from the first two installments will not be returning, after it was announced T.I. isn’t coming back as Scott Lang’s buddy Dave.
The actor and rapper is currently facing multiple sexual abuse allegations, but industry insiders claim that he was never going to be involved in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania anyway, even before the disturbing accusations were made against him. In all honesty, he never contributed much to the overall narrative and nobody’s going to miss him, while the fans will be happy as long as they get confirmation that Michael Pena’s scene-stealing Luis will return to spin another yarn as only he can.
