Ant-Man's Return | Ant-Man and The Wasp (2018)


!!!WARNING!!!
!!!SPOILER ALERT!!!



In the last three months, Avengers: Infinity War was released and everyone seemed having a roller coaster back then. But, it was not just that. The MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) fans were wondering where is Ant-Man.

Why he did not play in Avengers: Infinity War?

Well, the answers are in this sequel of Ant-Man called Ant-Man and The Wasp which is directed by Peyton Reed. Setting in the aftermath of Captain America: Civil War, as being captured by the FBI, Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) grapples with the consequences of his choice as both a Super Hero and a father. But, everything changes when he takes a bath and sees a vision of a woman playing hide and seek with a girl–which are Hope (Evangeline Lily) and her mother (Michelle Pfeiffer). After he tells everything to Dr. Hank Pym (MichaelDouglas), Scott is finally confronted by them with an urgent new mission. Since that, Scott must once again put on the suit and fight alongside The Wasp to uncover secrets from their past, also face new enemies.

As a truly MCU fan, I must say that the movie quite answering my question of Ant-Man’s whereabouts. After being captured by the FBI, turn into Super Hero again, being chased by enemies, and saving the world again. Scott, as in the first movie, always makes funny of other people, especially his daughter Cassie (Abby Ryder Fortson)–and that is why I like him. He also learns how to do some magic tricks and some of them are nailed it–I laughed a lot to be honest. Then, there is Hope who missed her mother so much that she wants to save her so much from the quantum realm–since Scott could save himself from the quantum realm as in the last movie. To make that happen, Dr. Hank Pym helps her to make a bridge to the quantum world. He is a genius scientist that he could spare his life for all the technologies he invented. And of course, like Scott did in the last movie, I want to steal one of his piece of art.

And, this movie cannot be so interesting without Luis’ (Michael Peña) appearance. Yes, he is back with his hilarious impersonating story–though most outlines are truly on point. His appearance as a Mexican with a funny voice tone are making me–and the viewers–entertained. Also, do not forget Stan Lee’s appearance as a cameo in this movie–if you are truly a MCU fan. Also, make sure that you had already watched the two post-credits in this movie since those are quite answering your question about Ant-Man’s whereabouts. And, as you can see that Scott is still trapped in the quantum realm while Dr. Hank Pym, Hope, her mother, and the rest of citizens–except ants–were swept away by Thanos (Josh Brolin) in order to wipe the entire universe, as said in Avengers: Infinity War.

Overall, I really enjoyed the entire movie and I truly cannot wait for the Avengers: Infinity War (part 2), also the solo movie of Captain Marvel–which is released in 2019.
