I think it looks like a fun time. The Pez bit is pretty funny and I thought the building that shrank down to a suitcase was a cool bit. I also think Wasp looks like a fun addition to this one. I kinda like that it’s a duo rather than a whole group of heroes in this one. Gives it a bit of a different dynamic to me.

Looks fun and I like that they didn’t give much away.
at the Hello Kitty Pez dispenser blowup in size.
I’m excited that we have 3 Disney Marvel movies in 1 calendar year. That’s crazy.

"Hello, Sanrio? Yes, this is Disney.. or more specifically, it's Marvel. Oh hell, hi, it's me Kevin. Say, I would like to license Hello Kitty. What? What are we using her for? Oh, um.. we want to throw her Pez head at some bad guys. Cool? No? Um, sooooo.... how much would it cost us to do that? How much? Ok. No problem. Is a check ok?"

This looks like its going to be a blast! I could see it getting too slapsticky though. Hopefully it hits the sweet spot.

Re: Ant-Man and The Wasp (7/6/18) - News, rumors, etc.
During Disney's presentation on Tuesday at CinemaCon in Las Vegas, a brand new trailer for Ant-Man and the Wasp was revealed.
Loaded with tons of new footage, the newest Ant-Man and the Wasp trailer put the focus heavily on Wasp, played by Evangeline Lilly. The trailer also featured the first looks at franchise newcomers Laurence Fishburne and Walton Goggins.
Unfortunately, like the Black Panther trailer that was shown at Comic Con last summer, this trailer was shown only to those attending the panel. To help hold you over however, we have boots on the ground at CinemaCon, and we were able to get a description of the footage seen in the trailer.
Here's how it went down:
Cassie asks Scott how long he's been Ant-Man again. He is giant, riding on the back of truck, riding next to Walton Goggins. He flicks them to the side but seems to mess things up. The Wasp appears in the truck, says, "Hi," and beats them up. Cassie suggests Scott have a sidekick.
Luis talks to Hank, claiming he opened the Quantum-realm to a villain by the name of the Ghost. Now, Pym needs Luis' group's help, which is funny because they robbed him. Action sequences cut by, emphasizing the Wasp's abilities. An ant plays the drums.
The Wasp and Ant-Man debate their joint fighting tactics. Luis is shrunken with the group in a van and he's scared they're going to die. The Wasp is driving, confidently. Scott reveals his record in size was 65 feet, topping Goliath's (Laurence Fishburne) 21 feet. The Wasp is done hearing them compare sizes.
The humor suggested in this trailer, and the massive amount of Louis (Michael Pena) screen time suggests that the film will very very closely replicate what made the first movie so successful.
For now, Disney and Marvel haven't announced any plans for the trailer's release, though dropping it this week to air theatrically with Avengers: Infinity War would make a lot of sense.

I would assume this would make its way online today/tonight and premiere with Infinity War. It would also be nice if the first Captain Marvel teaser dropped. Black Panther's first teaser was around if I remember correctly. A bit early... I guess it could come attached to AM&TW.

This takes place after Infinity War, right? Wonder what kind of impact it will have - seems like not much.

I don't even know if Rudd is in Infinity War. And if he is, I wouldn't imagine it's a major role. Probably just a cameo. I think Ant-Man and Wasp factor more into Avengers 4, which Lily has confirmed she is in.

There were photos of him at the premier the other night, so it looks like he's in it at some extent. There were also photos of Agent Coulson though, so who the fuck knows. I'm sure as hell staying away from spoilers until tomorrow

I did see an interview where Sebastian Stan mentions seeing Michael Douglas on set, but I don't know if that is about IW or Avengers 4.

The review I read in my local paper this morning said Ant-Man is not in IW.

Having now seen Infinity War, I don't see how this movie would take place after it. It definitely will have to pick up with Scott getting off The Raft. Then the movie would have to have some sort of ending or post credit scene that catches it up it to Infinity War... leading to Avengers 4.

I believe it's before/during Infinity War.

Wow, after seeing Infinity War, now wondering if AMaTW mid and end-credits will sync up with events in the Avenger IW, or include a flashback with Hank and Coulson in the 90s to introduce Carol Danvers...
