Marvel Studios has just announced there will be a sequel to Ant-Man, which will be called Ant-Man and the Wasp. Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly will reprise their roles. It will be released on July 6, 2018, which was the date originally held for Black Panther. So what does this mean now for the King of Wakanda?

 

Well, Black Panther will now be moved...UP with a February 16, 2018 release date now. However, Captain Marvel will be pushed back to March 8, 2019. In addition, Marvel has three titles, which are not revealed yet, all set for 2020.

Update: Peyton Reed is in negotiations to return as director of the upcoming sequel. No word yet on who will write the script, yet there is a possibility, more like speculation that Adam McKay and Paul Rudd might be writing it as they had re-tooled the original script by Edgar Wright and Joe Cornish.

Ant-Man himself, Paul Rudd will be writing the sequel script with Andrew Barrer & Gabriel Ferrari, who polished up the script by Rudd and Adam McKay on the original film. McKay will be joining the trio only to come up with the story concept, then Rudd, Barrer, and Ferrari will begin work on the screenplay. 

 

Peyton Reed has confirmed he will return to the director's chair for the sequel, in which we will see Evangeline Lilly return as Hope Van Dyne, who will now become The Wasp. He recently talked about what the tone will be:

 

"I think there's probably going to be some aspects that maybe call back to the tone of [the first movie], but for Ant-Man and the Wasp, we have an entirely different template. We know what that template is, and we have an entirely different genre template for that movie. But it's going to remain a surprise. But yes, that's already been decided."

Here's Evangeline Lilly as The Wasp in costume. Michelle Pfeiffer will play the original Wasp, Janet Van Dyne.

I think this is a Marvel movie we can all use...especially from what happens in Infinity War.

Me and the family took this in last night. Great movie! A Really fun flick! Paul Rudd owns this role. The plot is good, the action is thick, and the f/x are aces. I'm really liking Evangeline Lily as the Wasp. Makes me want to watch the 1st one again. As far as I'm concerned, this smokes Black Panther as far as quality goes.

I'd have to disagree with @ShaOW!linDude Black Panther this ain't. Ant-Man and The Wasp is fine. It's good. It's not great. The comedy doesn't always hit (not even Michael Pena could save this one) and there needed to be a lot more action. It's actually frustrating because the action there is is come of the most wonderfully innovative stuff I've seen. I'd love a flat-out action movie version of Any-Man.
This one is kind of heisty in nature and it just didn't all come together for me. The giant ant thing got tired in the first film and it's even more in-yer-face in this one.

But I'm being overly negative here. It is fun. It's hugely enjoyable. I just can't help but want more.

WASP-Ant-Man U.S Box-Office down on expectations

Maybe Disney should just slow down on the Marvel/Star Wars flicks?. It's hard for a smaller film, like this, to compete with the big spectacle of the Avenger's story.

Understandable. I didn't hate Black Panther, but I certainly didn't enjoy it like the masses did. My qualms with it were that the action scenes just weren't what they could have been because the bulk of the time I couldn't tell what was going on due to the way they were filmed and edited, the exception being the casino scene. And I thought the idea of 2 guys fighting each other in Panther tech suits was kind of lame. But that's me. I'll nab the dvd and watch it again at some point. Maybe my perspective will change.

I, too, wanted more flat out fight action in Ant-Man and the Wasp, but I thought what it had was depicted far superior to BP. But again, that's me.
