10 Best Scenes From 2018's Summer Blockbusters

4. Luis On Truth Serum - Ant-Man & The Wasp

Luis (Michael Pena) once again stole the show in Ant-Man's sequel, and his standout scene is unquestionably the hysterical sequence where he's given truth serum - or totally not truth serum, apparently - by Sonny Burch's (Walton Goggins) goons.

Luis adamantly contends that the chemical agent injected into him is truth serum, and though it certainly makes him truthful, it also aggravates his already considerable penchant for telling long-winded, needlessly wordy stories.

Before he finally tells Burch where Hank (Michael Douglas), Scott (Paul Rudd) and Hope (Evangeline Lilly) are, Luis spews word vomit about Scott's divorce, the Morrissey jukebox in his grandma's restaurant, the financial struggles of his security company X-Con, and the iffy romance between Scott and Hope.

Pena's rat-a-tat delivery combined with Burch's furious exasperation makes this the best written, directed and acted scene in the entire movie, and it didn't even involve any size-shifting shenanigans. Fancy that.
