Ranking The Best Movie In Every Major Comic Book Franchise

23. Ant-Man And The Wasp

Batman Blade Wonder Woman
Marvel Studios

The Marvel Cinematic Universe's smallest superhero isn't supposed to save the universe or travel to distant planets, with the Ant-Man franchise deliberately positioned as a palate cleanser from the franchise's typical bombast, so on that front it definitely succeeds.

Casting Paul Rudd as a superhero is genius whatever way you look at it, and as one of the writers the eternally-youthful star tailored the scripts to his strengths, which has always involved having a sturdy ensemble cast to bounce off, which has been a winning formula for the Ant-Man movies so far.

With Scott Lang and his supporting cast fully established, the sequel was ironically able to go bigger, throwing new challenges at our hero in the process. A refreshing change of pace from the studio's usual template, Ant-Man and the Wasp is the superior effort of the MCU's two light and breezy capers.

I don't do social media, so like or follow me in person but please maintain a safe distance or the authorities will be notified. Don't snap me though, I'll probably break. I was once labelled a misogynist on this very site in a twenty paragraph-long rant for daring to speak ill of the Twilight franchise. I stand by what I said, it's crap.
