The promotional campaign forAnt-Man and the Waspis starting to heat up now thatInfinity Warhas been in theaters for over a month. The Marvel Cinematic Universe is going to further explore the Quantum Realm in the upcoming Ant-Man sequel and as a new TV spot suggests, there’s going to be some bumps in the road, courtesy of Hannah John-Kamen’s villainousGhost. The TV spot forAnt-Man 2features Paul Rudd’s Scott Lang setting up a plan and dictating it to Evangeline Lilly’s Hope van Dyne, who doesn’t seem to be on board.
WhileScott Langis dictating the specifics of their plan, we’re treated to the power of Ghost in the short TV spot, making it look like Lang’s plan isn’t going to work out as easy as it sounds. As with nearly all MCU projects, the newAnt-Man 2footage is purposefully vague, leaving a lot more questions than answers. Still missing is Michelle Pfeiffer’s Janet van Dyne, aka the original Wasp. So far, she’s been spotted on the officialAnt-Man 2poster art, but we have yet to see her in the flesh, though there have been reports of a split second where she appears in the official full-length trailer.
The interest inAnt-Man 2is a lot higher than it was when the first movie hit theaters. MCU fans need to know exactly what happened to Scott Lang after the events ofCaptain America: Civil War. We know that he was placed on home confinement fromInfinity Warand the promotional material forAnt-Man 2, but it will be interesting to see what his mindset is after helping the fractured Avengers and getting left in jail.
Additionally, MCU fans are really curious to see howAnt-Man 2fits into the events ofInfinity WarandAvengers 4. Screenwriters Stephen McFeely and Christopher Markus have said multiple times thatAnt-Man 2, along with the upcomingCaptain Marvel, willplay a large role in setting up the next Avengers movie. This has led to speculation that theQuantum Realmwill play a significant part in battling Thanos inAvengers 4. We could also see the ending ofInfinity WareffectAnt-Man 2since the latter will take place before Avengers 3.
With the new interest placed onAnt-Man 2and the prime summer release date, the MCU should see an uptick in box office earnings. The highly anticipated sequel hits theaters on July 6th, which is about a month away, meaning that we will more than likely see quite a bit more TV spots with new footage coming up in the next few weeks. Hopefully some more light will be shed on the mysterious Ghost villain as well as some teases ofMichelle Pfeiffer’s Janet van Dyne. Until then, you can check out the newAnt-Man 2TV spot featuring the mysterious power of the villainous Ghost below, courtesy of the Marvel Entertainment YouTube channel.
