25 Most Hotly Anticipated Movies Of Summer 2018 - Ranked

3. Ant-Man & The Wasp

Ant Man And The Wasp
Marvel Studios

Release Date: July 6

Billed As: Set between Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Infinity War, the Ant-Man sequel will deal with Scott re-adjusting to family life while under house arrest, though inevitably juggling this with his superhero shenanigans. This time, however, he'll team with Hope van Dyne's Wasp (Evangeline Lilly) to battle the villainous Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen).

Hype: The year-long wait for Avengers 4 will be soothed somewhat by the impending release of Ant-Man's nifty-looking follow-up, which will benefit hugely from the team-up dynamic, seemingly more creative action sequences, Michelle Pfeiffer playing Janet van Dyne...and that scene where an ant plays a drum kit.

While it'd need to hugely surpass expectations to match the Marvel Cinematic Universe's terrific recent efforts, it looks set to be nothing if not a creative and charming blockbuster which should firmly bolster the franchise's stock in the MCU.
