40 Movies That Will Kick-Ass In 2018

9. Ant-Man & The Wasp

MARVEL

Captain America: Civil War confirmed what everyone who saw Ant-Man already knew - that Paul Rudd is the low-key best part of the entire MCU. He's hilarious, he's unlike any other of Marvel's heroes because he's basically just a normal guy, and his powers afford film-makers almost unprecedented scope for visionary scenes.

Sure, Doctor Strange is flashier, but Ant-Man can also travel to the Quantum Realm and return, and his shrink-power means we get to finally see a grown-up Honey I Shrunk The Kids. And then there's Giant Man, who will hopefully reappear in the sequel, as Rudd's Scott Lang teams up with a suited up Wasp.

This should investigate the backstory of Hank Pym and Janet Van Dyme, as well as giving the modern iterations someone to fight too. And all of that will come served with a side of charm and comedy thanks to Rudd and Michael Pena.
