Ant-Man and the Wasp is the twentieth film released by Marvel Studios and like the nineteen films before it, the film is praised by majority of the critics and fans alike. The Ant-Man sequel grossed $622 million worldwide and it was the spark that raised the Marvel Cinematic Universe's lifetime haul past $17 billion. A third film for our shapeshifting heroes is (hopefully) all but confirmed.

Director Peyton Reed recently spoke with SlashFilm and he revealed that he already has plans for the end of the trilogy. "I personally do have a trilogy arc in mind for them. Some of which I share with Marvel, and some of which I haven’t. But definitely where we kind of tool those characters in the second movie was very much in line with what I want to do."

He then took the time to explain how he approached Paul Rudd's character Scott Lang slightly differently in the sequel. "I know specifics of Scott Lang was something that Paul and I talked a lot about is that in the first movie, particularly the first half of Ant-Man, he’s a little more laconic and straight forward, and a bit more straight man." He then added, "But the second time out we could have had the luxury of knowing that audiences have accepted that character. So we could really allow that character, Scott Lang, to be even funnier and take him in a direction where he’s sort of a step behind. He’s a little bit more of the … Big Lebowski-style. A little bit more Jeff Bridges."

Being a director in the MCU you'll not only have a lot of talks with the cast and crew, but you'll likely have a good deal of interactions with the president of the company, Kevin Feige. Reed said he typically received notes from Feige while directing, and when asked how those notes looked, the 54-year old director had this to say: 

"I think they can kinda come in different forms. The notes are always very smart. Whether you agree or disagree with his notes, he comes from a really smart place, and they come from someone who has no desire to repeat themselves, and really his chief goal is to entertain and surprise an audience. So they can come in different forms, and really as we’re in the very beginning trying to formulate the story. It can be things we talk about like, here’s a piece of imagery that as a fan could we get this, or what if this were the case? What if we know we want to progress the Scott, Cassie relationship? What if we start dropping hints about she really is her father’s daughter, and things like that. And that can be on the backend of things and very, very specific moments as we cut screens, and things about whether jokes are played or not, or conceptual things. And it’s miraculous that he’s able to do that in a way that never feels like annoying studio meddling. I think it’s just because we all come from a place of wanting these things to kind of … You know, Ant-Man and the Wasp is the twentieth MCU movie? So you really have to kind of pivot and try and mix things up."

Whether or not we will get a third Ant-Man film remains to be seen, however, if it does see the light of day fans will no doubt be excited.

AATW was the first MCU movie since Incredible Hulk I didn't see on the big screen. Just seemed boring and not worth it from the trailers, and it was (to me at least). I hope they get comic-accurate AIM and MODOK for the third part. That would be fun.

@Ragnarocknroll - Oh I did see it once it came out on blu ray, and I didn't regret not seeing it on the big screen. I love the MCU but this was just nowhere near as energetic and amazing as Ragnarok, BP or IW.

They need to go back to that heist feel of the first movie for the second one and make Scott less of an idiot in the third one. I enjoyed the movie but the lack of interesting villain and playing Scott as more of an idiot than a capable character hurt it for me. I want another heist, obviously bring back Wasp she was fantastic, and maybe do a Ant-man and Wasp generational team up with Hank and Janet for the finale which would make my fanboy heart explode

@Ha1frican - To be fair Scott was really out of his element in the second so of course he is gonna act more like and idiot than in the first. The first movie is all about a heist, something he knows how to do, the second is him wanting to stay home and not go to jail while being sucked into a bunch of science he still really doesn't understand chasing down a stolen lab. Scott is really just you're everyday ordinary guy compared to every other hero in the MCU so I see him more as the audience living through a character.

@four20smoke - I'm sorry was I supposed to argue with you about the fact that I like a character/movie franchise and you don't? What would be the point in that, it's not like either of us would be changing our opinion.

four20smoke - 10/21/2018, 11:55 AM
@JustAChillFan - no you were not sir or madam.

You are certainly correct though in that you would not be able to change my mind on liking Antman and the wasp.

I do apologize as I was not totally clear in my brief statement, Antman is an ok character and the first movie was quite good. The second movie was utter garbage in my humble opinion. When Xmen and F4 fold into the MCU, Hopefully these characters like Antman can be put to TV series where they belong and can be done some real justice. Marvel just throwing crap out there for money is going to get old fast, just like complaints about other studios.

It was also the movie that pushed Marvel Studios over 4 billion this year.

Hmm very interesting that the notes from Feige that Reed mentions is about Scott and Cassie’s relationship. That she’s daughter. It’s almost as if they’re trying to set up her becomig Stature...maybe in Avengers 4...? Very interesting. Very interesting indeed. 🤔

I love Payton Reed's passion, but so far he's delivered a bit of a fluff trilogy. Nothing really bad, but not all that great or memorable either. They feel like just sort of silly filler, and they work on that level but I'm used to seeing the MCU strive to evolve their trilogies with each film.

Hopefully his next one is the best of the lot.

I've got my fingers crossed for a jail break film with the Big House.

I hope a sequel takes a step back from the Quantum realm.

Here’s a note: do better, this movie wasn’t hardly memorable or good. “Palette cleanser” I’m sure isn’t the goal of any franchise, at least i hope not, but that’s what this movie ended up being
