Ant-Man surpassed many people's expectations, which was cemented when it won best comic to film motion picture at the 42nd Saturn Awards. The character earned even more fans when Paul Rudd brought his charm and wit to Captain America: Civil War, almost stealing the show in many regards.
It's a great place to be, and Director Peyton Reed is excited to return for the sequel, titled Ant-Man and the Wasp. The Director wants to make sure people understand that while Rudd is back in the popular role, it is as much about Evangeline Lilly's The Wasp as it is Ant-Man (via Modern Myth Media).
"Its something were excited about. For me as a comic nerd, I always thought of Ant-Man and Wasp as a team and thats a lot of what the second movie is really about is how they work together, what their personal and professional relationships are like. To show her finally fully formed in this movie is really exciting. We really get to introduce this character into that universe. I mean weve introduced the character, but we havent seen her with her full power set and everything, so to me shes not a supporting character in this movie. Its every bit as much her movie as it is Scott Langs."
As to where the duo finds themselves, that's a little tricky, but Reed and company already have a plan in place. Civil War does factor into the plot, but it isn't that different than the previous film.

I hope Michael Pena is back, he stole the first movie!
he was hysterical. I was never a fan of Ant-Man in the comics, but I liked the movie quite a bit.
