I feel so bad for laughing at this new TV spot for Ant-Man & the Wasp . Ant-thony's death in the first one was a very emotional moment. I'm guessing we're not taking the ant's lives that seriously this time around. That's okay too. This was friggin hilarious. I've heard good & great things from the premiere so far. I'm getting really excited for this one. The trailers so far have been way more hit than miss. This one was no exception. What do y'all think? Funny, or to soon to mock ant deaths still?

Two Big Revelations From "Ant-Man & The Wasp" Featurette
Who Is The Wasp? is the newest featurette for Marvel's upcoming sequel, Ant-Man & the Wasp. most of it just deals with reintroducing everyone to Hope, her mother Janet, & the Wasp mantle they'll share. However, I took two major reveals out of this video. One was Scott saying he saw Janet while in the Quantum Realm. We had been hearing he gets a signal from her, but not this. He actually sees a trapped in the Quantum Realm Janet, & she looks pretty mobile still on top of that. The other thing was Feige's mention of how important these characters will be to Avengers 4 . Which let's me know there will be a lot riding on this films end credits. Personally, I'm convinced we haven't seen the end of characters turning to dust. Giving Scott some extra stakes as we round the corner to settle the effects of Avengers: Infinity War . Anyway, those are the biggest things I got out of this featurette. Those, & the reminder that with Wasp's addition, we now have all the original Avengers on screen. Friggin awesome. What do y'all think of these couple of revelations though? Pumped for Ant-Man & the Wasp? Put it in the comments, like, & share.
Apparently, The MCU Has All Led To This...
This trailer is hilarious! This is set up for Ant-Man & the Wasp tickets going on sale tomorrow, announcing that everything you know & every experience has all led to this. So far, every single time I have any little doubts about this movie they put out a spot I absolutely love. This caught me so off guard. I knew there was going to be a punch line, but that was great. And then it just kept giving the more that came out. Great set up for the desk. I will definitely be grabbing tickets tomorrow. How bout y'all? Put your thoughts in the comments, like, & share.
"Ant-Man & The Wasp" Delivers Some Interesting Character Posters
These character posters just got released for Marvel's upcoming Ant-Man & the Wasp, & I immediately noticed a couple things. The first was Wasp's costume. I may just be somewhat colorblind, but this is the first I've noticed her costume is blue. I even went back & rewatched the trailers. It reads way darker in those. Not that I care either way, just couldn't believe how much it popped on the poster. Two more of these posters caught my eye as well, with the rest basically just being standard. One was the inclusion of Lawrence Fishburne. I don't know if that's just because he's Lawrence Fishburne, or if it means that we'll be seeing more Goliath than I initially thought. I've loved Fishburne since he was Larry. So, giving him more screen time is a win for me. Always ready to add more heroes or villains to the Marvel universe as well. The second, & possibly main thing I noticed though, was how pissed off Michelle Pfeiffer looks. She's been trapped in the Quantum Realm for awhile. So I wouldn't expect her to he thrilled, but that's some determined anger on her face. That could mean nothing, but I'm all the sudden not the most trusting when it comes to this reunion. That's just me though. Anyone else have thoughts on these? Or thoughts on my insights? Put em in the comments, like, & share.
Mixed Feelings On The TV Spots For "Ant-Man & The Wasp
The past week has brought us a couple new TV spots for Marvel's upcoming Ant-Man & the Wasp . The first of which I was not into at all. The list joke was okay until the end. Definitely not something I'd use for a trailer, & the "save the world" part seemed to drag on a corny joke. A corny joke that would have been a little improved if cut short, ending at the 2A part. This had me a little worried. I loved the first film & liked the trailers for the sequel up to this point. The funny in this film highly matters though, so it needs to be on point. So when we got this next TV spot over the weekend, the "Wassup?" joke in the beginning kept my concerns going. That joke was dated when Scary Movie 2 used it. Does anybody really remember those guys anymore. They give the right response. Just will anybody get it now? I was put right back on though, with the "I eat people" line. That actually made me laugh out loud. All in all I'm thinking this one is really going to be hit & miss with the jokes. It looks like they're amping up the action this time around though. We'll see if that can balance everything out. For that matter we're just talking trailers. I've seen bad films with good trailers & vice versa. I'm honestly just looking forward to a little getaway from the effects of Infinity War , before we have to get psychologically ready for what comes next. Anyway, mixed feels on the TV spots. Concerns, but nothing to turn me away at all. Or really even get me too worried right now, for that matter. What are y'all's thoughts? Put em in the comments, like, & share.
Where Was "Ant-Man & The Wasp"? New Trailer Debuts
One of the really big or small questions, depending how you look at it, during Avengers: Infinty War was, where was Ant-Man during all the chaos. Short answer is house arrest, but in the first video to announce the trailer the Avengers cast had a little fun with that question. Underneath that video is the new trailer that just dropped today. I gotta say this trailer felt refreshing after the events of Avengers: Infinity War. After all that intensity this feels like relaxing after a hard day's work, & that's crazy to say considering this trailer looks like it totally amped up the action from the first outing. They also look like they heard the memo that we all want more Michael Pena. The real standout to me though, is this looks like Wasp might steal the whole show. Ant-Man might wind up her comic relief. Even though do seem to be getting a lot of giant Ant-Man, this trailer seems to be all her. We also get to see more of Ghost though. Our antagonist this time around. From what I do know, this is a pretty intriguing character. Mostly dealing in industrial espionage, this film fits the character perfectly. I really love how they handle the phasing effect. I thought the first film was amazing. They were going for a perfect blend of comedy with superhero, & they completely nailed it. Judging from this trailer they're about to do it again. Loving the Goliath cameo!! Anyway, great trailer, that's the new poster beneath it. I think it even gives more of a Wasp takes front vibe too, but we'll just have to see. I'll be there July 6th. Will y'all? Put it in the comments, like, & share.
First Look At The Wasp's Costume
I think I'm letting my own expectations cloud my judgement on this one. Evangeline Lilly took to Twitter on what would have been the great Jack Kirby's 100th birthday & revealed the first look of the Wasp costume from Marvel's upcoming Ant-Man & the Wasp. I was not figuring this was just going to basically look almost exactly like the Ant-Man suit, just a girl version. I was looking for at the least, a color scheme change. This isn't like a total "screw this movie they destroyed everything" type thing. Hell, I remember when the X-Men just wore leather jumpsuits. So all in all, this doesn't really mean much, & if I wasn't expecting the change-up, it actually makes sense that these would look the same in real life. All the materials for a shrinking suit probably don't come in too many color arrangements. I don't like it, don't hate it, & either way it probably won't have an effect on my enjoyment of the film. What do y'all think though? Put it in the comments, like, & share.
Marvel Released A Synopsis & New Logo Art For "Ant-Man & the Wasp"
"In the aftermath of Captain America: Civil War, Scott Lang, aka Ant-Man (Rudd) is left facing the consequences of his actions as both a superhero and a father. When he’s confronted by Hope van Dyne (Lilly) and Dr. Hank Pym (Douglas) with an urgent new mission, Scott must once again put on his Ant-Man suit and learn to fight alongside The Wasp. As the team works together, they’ll uncover secrets from their past." That's the synopsis that was released with this new title art for Marvel's upcoming Ant-Man & the Wasp. This is a little more vague of a synopsis than I thought we would get. Especially considering they already announced Michelle Pfeiffer as the lost Janet van Dyne. As for the new logo... meh. I don't know, it just don't have that MCU feel to it at first glance. If it wasn't for the little bit of added texture if you zoom in, it feels like the logo you would use for an animated version. I don't hate it. I just think it could look a little better. What do y'all think? New Logo? Synopsis? Put it down in the comments, like, & share.
Marvel's "Ant-Man & The Wasp" Cast Added Some Heavy Hitters
Ant-Man & the Wasp just added some amazing talent to the upcoming sequel, starting with a childhood crush of mine, Michelle Pfeiffer. Stepping back into the world of comics, (Catwoman in Batman Returns) she's signed on a Janet van Dyne, mother to Hope (Evangeline Lilly) that shrunk down to a subatomic level, never to be seen. This happened while wearing the first incarnation of the Wasp suit Hope will be seen in. Michelle Pfeiffer is amazing & I can't wait to see her in any part, in anything. Also added was Hannah John-Kamen playing Ghost. This is a villain/anti-hero who if I'm correct, is a thief that can turn intangible, & usually uses this to steal company secrets & tech. In addition to this they also added Laurence (Larry) Fishburne. That's right Cowboy Curtis (look it up) will be joining the cast as Black Goliath, a biochemist that works with Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) & can grow to giant size. Much like we saw from Ant-Man (Paul Rudd) in Captain America: Civil War. This was all in addition to other recent cast announcements, shaping up to be one heck of a cast. What do y'all think? Do these additions tickle your fancy? Did you have different things in mind? Let us know in the comments, like, & share.
Marvel's "Ant-Man & The Wasp" Picks Up Walton Goggins
According to Deadline Walton Goggins has joined the cast that already includes returning Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lilly, Michael Douglas, & Michael Pena, along with newcomers Hannah John-Kamen & Randall Park. If you don't know who this is I wouldn't blame you. I eventually found I knew who he was, but not until I had seen him. Wiki has him as most being known for his TV roles as Shane Vendrell in The Shield & Boyd Crowder in Justified. I myself know him best as transgender prostitute, Venus Van Damme from Sons of Anarchy. A part that went from almost a joke to an actual powerful part of the show. This cast is shaping up real well though. I can't wait to some of this movie on our course to July 6, 2018 when it hits theater. Any thoughts on this addition? Let us know in the comments, like, & share.
"Fresh Off The Boat's" Randall Park Joining "Ant-Man & the Wasp"
Paul Rudd (Ant-Man), Evangeline Lilly (Wasp), Michael Douglas (Hank Pym), & Michael Pena (Luis) are all returning to their roles in Peyton Reed's Ant-Man & the Wasp. Now Collider reports that The Tracking Board has Randall Park on board to play SHIELD Agent Jimmy Woo. I friggin' love this guy. If you don't know him from The Interview, I hope you know him from Fresh Off The Boat. If not, definitely check him out, he is hilarious. This is not only a great addition to the comedic tone of this movie, but also SHIELD? That name's been pretty irrelevant since the events of Captain America: Winter Soldier. I have to wonder if this means the TV show is about to gain a little more relevance as well? Not as much as affecting the movies, but having the movies affect them more again? Let me know what y'all think of this down below. Not just Randall Park, but the SHIELD thing as well. Don't forget to like & share.
