Director Peyton Reed talked about this third Ant-Man film with Entertainment Weekly this last summer at San Diego Comic-Con. “We were thrilled to get to do a third Ant-Man movie and do a trilogy,” Reed shared with EW. “And we knew if we were going to do that we wanted to do some things differently. We really wanted to take a hard left turn and make a movie that was even more epic, but still progress the story of these family dynamics and everything that’s going on between Scott and Hope and Cassie.”
“Cassie is now 18 years old and maybe Scott doesn’t quite know how to relate to her as an adult because he lost those five years because of the events of Endgame,” Reed continued. “And we also knew that we wanted to put our heroes up against a very, very formidable opponent. I grew up reading the comics and I knew the character of Kang the Conqueror, who’s one of the big, big bad characters in the comics, so to be able to put up our heroes against Kang the Conqueror was a huge thing for us. We went big and we also went small.”
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is set to arrive in theaters on February 17, 2023.
