Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania is only Marvel Studios' second "Rotten" movie, and the poor reception to Peyton Reed's threequel has seemingly prompted a change in approach to how they'll tell stories during the Multiverse Saga.
Former Disney CEO Bob Chapek was all about quantity, particularly as he looked to get as much content as possible on Disney+. The returning Bob Iger, however, is focusing on quality and recently suggested Marvel Studios will now focus less on third and fourth movies for characters, prioritising new characters and franchises instead.
The latest Ant-Man adventure could have done with a little more originality, making it all the more disappointing that we didn't get to see these new costumes!
Marvel Studios Director of Visual Development Andy Park has shared his designs for Quantum suits Scott Lang would have donned after arriving in the Quantum Realm. With some clear Jack Kirby inspiration, they're a refreshing change of pace, and an improvement over the familiar (and, unfortunately, nano-tech) costumes we saw in theaters last month.
Earlier this week, Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania passed $200 million at the North American box office after 26 days of release. While some have written the threequel off as a flop, it took Ant-Man and The Wasp 36 days to hit that mark!
While Ant-Man 4 seems unlikely, we do expect the franchise's characters to return in Avengers: The Kang Dynasty.
"Despite being an example of why a movie shouldn’t be shot almost entirely in The Volume," we explained in our review of the movie, "every time Jonathan Majors steps on screen as Kang, Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania is an epic tale to astonish and a monumental chapter in the Multiverse Saga."
