They’re all dressed as civilians, so they’re likely not utilizing their size-changing powers for these shots. Click here to check out the photos.
Lilly’s character Hope Van Dyne joins the sequel’s title billing as the Wasp. Douglas reprises his role as former Ant-Man Hank Pym, Lilly’s father, and Rudd will be portraying Scott Lang for his fourth Marvel movie.
Michelle Pfeifer also joined the cast as Janet Van Dyne, the original Wasp who is thought to be lost in the quantum realm. The announcement was made at San Diego Comic-Con with a humorous video in which Rudd and co-star Michael Peña recount the events of every Marvel movie in order in an attempt to pitch Pfeifer to join the MCU.
Not much is known about the plot for Ant-Man and the Wasp at this point, though another set photo pointed toward a humorous plot point from the recent Ant-Man comics popping up at some point in the new movie.
We’re excited to see Lilly finally suit up as the Wasp in the new movie, and the actress has been prepping for her super heroic turn by getting ripped.
Ant-Man will next appear in Avengers: Infinity War on May 4, 2018, followed by Ant-Man and the Wasp on July 6, 2018.
From the Marvel Cinematic Universe comes a new chapter featuring heroes with the astonishing ability to shrink: “Ant-Man and The Wasp.” In the aftermath of “Captain America: Civil War,” Scott Lang (Rudd) grapples with the consequences of his choices as both a Super Hero and a father. As he struggles to rebalance his home life with his responsibilities as Ant-Man, he’s confronted by Hope van Dyne (Lilly) and Dr. Hank Pym (Douglas) with an urgent new mission. Scott must once again put on the suit and learn to fight alongside The Wasp as the team works together to uncover secrets from their past.
