After teasing an impending Ant-Man and the Wasp announcement on Friday, director Peyton Reed has confirmed that Christophe Beck will indeed return to compose the Original Motion Picture Score for his upcoming 2018 sequel, which is expected to begin production on July 6.
Beck won a Primetime Emmy in 1998 for his work on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and has recently composed the scores for a number of blockbusters, including The Hangover, Frozen, Edge of Tomorrow, and Ant-Man. His upcoming projects include another Tom Cruise vehicle, American Made, and the Disney animated short Olaf's Frozen Adventure.
Ant-Man and the Wasp will feature the return of both Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly as the title characters. They'll be joined by Michael Douglas, Michael Peña, David Dastmalchian, and T.I., who are all expected to reprise their roles from the original, along with newcomer Hannah John-Kamen, who is reportedly playing a key role in the movie.
