It’s been over a yr since the Avengers defeated Thanos, the ultimate galactic threat, however that doesn’t suggest we’re going to stop getting new Marvel films anytime soon. In addition to imminent movies like Black Widow, Eternals, and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, production is underway on a third Ant-Man movie featuring worldwide treasure Paul Rudd because the titular occasionally gigantic superhero.
Series director Peyton Reed provided an update on the sequel in the course of an interview on SiriusXM’s The Jess Cagle Show, and whilst he wasn’t able to mention a whole lot (Marvel does not play games with its NDAs), he did provide a few information that sound quite interesting.
“We are working away through the pandemic,” Reed said. “There’s some really really really exciting things in store, none of which of course I could speak to you about right now, as is the Marvel way… I think the third Ant-Man movie is going to be a much bigger, more sprawling movie than the first two. It’s going to have a very different visual template.”
Obviously that’s very little to go on, however thinking about the first movies have been pretty small-scale, Reed’s teaser appears to signify that this third film will take location in more than just San Francisco. And a “unique visual template” may also support the concept of shifting beyond a single city.
Maybe we’ll see Ant-Man and the Wasp coping with a global threat, or going back into the quantum realm (or both). We do recognize that Rudd and Evangeline Lilly will share both top-billing and display screen time, as Reed showed in an interview with Yahoo earlier this month.
