Peyton Reed
Ant-Man and the Wasp is an enjoyable blend of superhero action and familial comedy, with a strong central cast to make everything work well together.
Ant-Man and the Wasp marks the return of Ant-Man, with help from Hope van Dyne, who will don her Wasp suit for the first time.
Before watching Ant-Man, it would be safe to predict that the movie would be the film that destroys the foundations of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This is a film that has suffered from well-publicised production troubles, leading many to question the artistic integrity of the directors the studio chooses to helm its projects, whose directorial vision has to be sacrificed in order to create another chapter in studio head Kevin Feige’s grand master plan. Production troubles sometimes lead to fantastic movies, but more often than not, they lead to gigantic box office flops – not even the seemingly unbeatable Marvel can overcome that, surely?
Ant-Man makes his first appearance on the white screen next year, being the latest addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The movie features Paul Rudd as Ant-Man, Evangeline Lilly, Hayley Atwell, Michael Douglass, Michael Peña and a handfull of other familiar names. It was directed by Peyton Reed (best known for comedies like Yes Man and The Break-Up) and its screenplay was written by Adam McKay, Gabriel Ferrari and Andrew Barrer.
