Paul Rudd confirms the filming for “Ant-Man 3” has begun!

You’re going to want to get your popcorn ready! Paul Rudd has confirmed that the filming for “Ant-Man 3” has begun. This is huge news, not only because it means we are getting more of our favourite hero, but also because it confirms that this will be the last Ant-Man movie. We can’t wait to see how they wrap up this story!

Paul Rudd’s Official Announcement on the shooting of Ant-Man 3

“It’s a little surreal because there was such a long gap between the first and second movie. But we all had an itch to do it, and Marvel got behind us making this happen.” “I’m really excited about how it turned out so far,” he added.

Paul Rudd also shared that his character Scott Lang will be retired in Ant-Man & The Wasp, “He’s kinda done with the whole superhero thing…but then Hope van Dyne [Wasp] comes along”. He went on to say that Paul Bettany, who plays Vision in Avengers Infinity War, “is coming back as himself,” revealing some of what they have been up to in the hiatus.

“There’s a lot of new characters, and they have really great roles, so it was just fun getting back together.” “I mean, I missed these people,” he said about his co-stars Evangeline Lilly (Hank Pym’s daughter Hope van Dyne), Michael Douglas (Dr. Hank Pym), and Michelle Pfieffer as Janet Van Dyne.

He also revealed that Paul Bettany, who plays Vision in Avengers Infinity War, “is coming back as himself,” revealing some of what they have been up to in the hiatus, which is shooting now for release on July 17th: “He’s kinda done with the whole superhero thing…but then Hope van Dyne gets in touch with him.”

“What Paul’s character does (in the movie) is really great,” he said. “And it sets up something that, hopefully, we’ll see more of – Paul Bettany and me working together again at some point.”

While they did not reveal any plot details for the film’s third instalment, there have been rumours circulating since 2020 about a possible Ant-Man/Giant-Man twist.

Release Date Speculations for Ant-Man 3

The movie is most likely to release at some point in mid-2022 (Possibly July) as the team has started shooting and looking forward to wrapping most of the movie within the finishing days of this year.

Plot Synopsis

Plot Speculation for Ant-Mans Third Film “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” is an American superhero film. Based on Marvel Comics’ character of the same name: Scott Lang, who can shrink in size; but increase his strength. Director Peyton Reed; also returns from Ant-Man; to direct this sequel, which introduces; Hannah John Kamen, Janet Van Dyne, and Laurence Fishburne as Dr. Bill Foster. The plot follows Hank Pym’s daughter, Hope van Dyne. As she takes on the role of Wasp and expands her suit’s shrinking capabilities, it includes flying.

The film; is most likely a sequel, meaning that it will continue from where Ant-Man left off. But with an all-new villain; whose identity we haven’t yet been told about. The plot speculation; for this movie comes in three different parts – “the aftermath” (revealed by Paul Rudd), “a heist movie,” or something more comical, like Deadpool, which are both offered up by the director Peyton Reed respectively.

Ant-Man 3 Rumours

Based on the title and what Paul Rudd revealed; in his interview, it is likely that Ant-Man will become Giant-Man at some point; during this movie. The fact that he has not been seen for a long time implies that there was an incident that caused him to be enlarged again (maybe even bigger than before). If true, then perhaps this might indicate why Hope van Dyne contacts Scott Lang as she would need help with her father’s return.

Star Cast for the MCU’s Ant-Man 3

The cast of “Ant-man” includes Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lilly, Michael Douglas, and Michelle Pfeiffer, to name just a few, but so far, no one has been confirmed for Ant-man III.

As I mentioned before, Paul Rudd is playing the lead character in this movie, and Evangeline Lilly will be reprising her role as Hope van Dyne aka The Wasp, so we can expect them to have an important part of this story arc. Michael Douglas, who played Hank Pym, would be a perfect fit to join his onscreen daughter Hope, but Michelle Pfeiffer was not included in MCU’s Phase II, so she might just play Janet van Dyne instead? We’ll find out soon enough!
