Maggie Lang was a minimal supporting role in the first movie. It was fine, but with an actress as great as Greer, you can’t help but hope for a little more. Perhaps because of howAnt-Manresolved, with the Lang family, Paxton (Bobby Cannavale), and an overgrown ant having dinner, they’ll have the chance to spend a little more time together in the sequel. That’s purely speculation, of course, but you usually can’t go wrong with more Judy Greer and Bobby Cannavale. The same goes forAbby Ryder Forston(Cassie Lang), who helped make the father-daughter relationship feel integral toAnt-Man.
DirectorPeyton Reed’s (Down with Love) film brings back Rudd as Scott Lang/Ant-Man,Evangeline Lillyas Hope van Dyne/Wasp,David Dastmalchianas Kurt, Tip “T.I.” Harris as Dave, and as a man with many interests and a knack for storytelling,Michael Peñaas Luis. There are quite a few new additions to the cast well, with Pfeiffer’s inclusion being the biggest. She’s playing the original Wasp, Janet van Dyne. “She was our dream choice when we were making the first film,” Marvel PresidentKevin Feigesaid at Comic-Con. During the making of the first movie, they kept thinking of Pfeiffer for the role. Finally, they decided just to ask her and secured a deal closely before its announcement at Comic-Con.
Randall Parkis joining the MCU as SHIELD agent, Jimmy Woo, andLaurence Fishburneis playing a villain, Dr. Bill Foster. As forHannah John-Kamen, she’s playing Ghost, whileWalton Gogginsis taking on the role of a weapons designer, Sonny Burch.Michael Douglas, of course, is back as Hank Pym. At Comic-Con, we saw concept art showing him suit up again. Considering Janet van Dyne is in the sequel, it feels safe to presume he’ll do a whole lot more than mentoring in the sequel. He did in the original film as well, considering he had the movie’s most emotional scene or two, but his relationship with the quantum realm, Janet, and Hope should (hopefully) deepen in the sequel. Evangeline Lily, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Michael Douglas sure do make for one cool sounding family.Ant-Man and The Waspopens in theatersJuly 6, 2018.
