The Ant-Man Sequel Will Co-Star the Wasp!
New York Comic-Con is this weekend, and the news has started swirling! First up is the announcement of the Ant-Man sequel, which will arrive on July 6, 2018. The bigger news is that the movie will be called Ant-Man and the Wasp! Evangeline Lilly will get to don her badass costume and help headline a movie! Hopefully this means she’ll also be included in the toyline, right Marvel?
The costumes will probably be better
I’m definitely excited about this. I loved the first Ant-Man, and knowing that a sequel is coming is big news – though I’m probably more excited to see him guest star alongside the other Avengers in next year’s Captain America: Civil War.
The sad news is that the Ant-Man sequel will have some major shake-ups for future Marvel movies. Captain Marvel is getting bumped from November 2018 to March 2019. That’s very disappointing news! I’d rather have that one come first. But also bad is that Black Panther is getting moved ahead to February 2018! Everybody knows that February is a deadzone for new movies! Why would Marvel ever release a movie in February?
Though I have noticed that more studios seem to be putting bigger movies in the January/February zone. The third Kung-Fu Panda is going to come out in that winter period. Surely that’s not expected to bomb, right? Are studios trying to reclaim the winter months?!

The Wasp is Definitely Coming to the Marvel Cinematic Universe!
Normally I try to stay on top of cool casting announcements in all the best superhero TV shows and movies, but this one is trickier. If you haven’t seen Ant-Man yet, I don’t want to spoil anything. But at the same time, this is a pretty big deal. Anytime Marvel pushes a female superhero in their movies needs to be a big deal now.
She was a founding Avenger, gosh darn it!
So I’m going to save all the key information until after the jump. Just know that Marvel Studios Grand Master, Kevin Feige, has confirmed that the Wasp will appear somewhere in Phase 3. She won’t show up with Ant-Man in next year’s Captain America: Civil War. But there are going to be a bunch of Phase 3 films, including the two-part Infinity War. So she’ll likely debut in one of those.
Join me after the jump for the lowdown on the Wasp and a look at her costume! SPOILERS for Ant-Man — which, for the record, was a really good movie!
