Everything You Need to Know About the Action-Packed Ant-Man Sequel

Paul Rudd is reprising his title role as Ant-Man (aka master thief Scott Lang), and will once again be joined Evangeline Lilly, who will get a chance to kick more ass this time around as the titular Wasp. Michael Peña and Michael Douglas are also back as the characters they originated in the 2015 film, as well as Bobby Cannavale, David Dastmalchian, Judy Greer, Tip “T.I.” Harris, and Abby Ryder Fortson.

Say hello to Janet Van Dyne! Michelle Pfeiffer is taking on the role, which sees her playing the original Wasp and mother of Hope. In the Marvel comics, Janet is a founding member of the Avengers and a superhero in her own right. As we saw in Ant-Man, she's also presumed dead after getting lost in a subatomic realm, so it'll be interesting to see what Pfeiffer does with the character.

On top of that new addition is Laurence Fishburne as Dr. Bill Foster, a brilliant biochemist and part-time superhero who can grow to impressive size. The Hateful Eight's Walton Goggins is also on board, as is Fresh Off the Boat's Randall Park.

The sequel to Ant-Man kicks off in the aftermath of the events of Captain America: Civil War. Scott finds himself struggling to balance being both a superhero and a father, all while taking on a new mission with Dr. Hank Pym (Douglas) and his daughter, Hope (Lilly), who are trying to uncover secrets from the past (aka rescuing Janet!).

Peyton Reed is back in the director's chair for Ant-Man & the Wasp after his successful first run.

Marvel decided to announce that production on the film had officially started by dropping a cheeky, 14-second clip featuring two shrunken production chairs.

Rudd and Lilly suit up as their superhero alter-egos.

Sit tight, because the sequel won't hit theaters until July 6, 2018.
