Ant-Man And The Wasp Trailer Breakdown: 15 Things You Need To See
9. A New Anthony?
Marvel Studios
We may have all seen it coming a mile away, but the death of Anthony in the original Ant-Man still stings. He was the most charismatic ant in Lang's army, and while yes, he was just an ant, it's clear that Scott took some time to grieve, harnessing his upset to boss proceedings when Darren Cross donned the Yellow Jacket in the film's climactic third act.
In the sequel, the ex-con is back to jockeying ants. There's a great show of him zipping straight on to one during a high-speed chase, and while it would be wise to avoid growing attached to yet another flying insect (Anthony II?), it's not difficult to imagine Peyton Reed making Scott's latest pal an enjoyable character to be around.
Just steer clear of those wind-shields, and we'll be fine.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
