Fifteen years and multiple superheroes later, the one thing that remains constant across the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is its ability to create multiple possibilities through different stories. Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania, the third Ant-Man film and first in Phase Five of the MCU, takes these possibilities to another level. As the name suggests, this time, the mania unfolds in the Quantum Realm. Janet van Dyne (the stunning Michelle Pfeiffer) is back with her family and loves it with them. Scott Lang aka Ant-Man (Paul Rudd) is trying to make sense of his fame, getting freebies for saving the world and has made peace with the fact that people confuse him with Spider-Man. Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) continues his research on ants, Hope Pym (Evangeline Lilly) is using Pym Particles to bring a change in the world and Casey Lang (Kathryn Newton), is living the teenage life while also secretly researching the Quantum Realm with Hank. Casey’s research, however, opens a portal to the Quantum Realm and sucks them all into it, bringing out skeletons from Janet’s closet. Once there, a meeting with MCU’s new antagonist-in-chief, Kang the Conqueror (Jonathan Majors), is inevitable. Like the earlier Ant-Man films, Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania tugs at your emotions. The father-daughter angle between Scott and Casey is at the heart of this film and results in some of the most beautiful moments. However, more than anything else, Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania serves as an introductory vehicle for the Multiverse Saga’s big bad villain, Kang the Conqueror, who takes over the reins from Thanos. The portions in the Quantum Realm are visually appealing and will make fans happy. The performances are good too. Paul Rudd is fun to watch and gets some cool one-liners. Kathryn Newton brings the teenage spirit to the table, while Evangeline Lilly, maturity. But the standout performers are Jonathan Majors and Michelle Pfeiffer. Majors has a legacy to carry forward and looks set to make the most of it. While the film sets some things in motion, it also seems a bit rushed at times and stretched at others. It’s also oddly reminiscent of the Star Wars franchise. That said, Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania takes you on a fun adventure. And, as always, stay back for Easter eggs in the mid and post credit scenes.Read more
