Kicking off Phase 5 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Scott Lang (Rudd) lives like a celebrity in San Francisco, USA.
However, the tranquility ends when Cassie (Kathryn Newton) creates a satellite to communicate with the Quantum Realm, and they and they are ultimately taken to an unexplored location.
To the tune of Elton John's "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road," we discover that the Quantum Realm is a secret universe beneath the one we live in, much more developed than previous films have revealed, and hiding many dangers, some of which only Janet Van Dyne (Michelle Pfeiffer) knows about.
Meanwhile, Kang the Conqueror (Jonathan Majors) organizes an army that looks very similar to those in the comics...
Ant-Man may be one of the more entertaining Avengers, but few take his power seriously.
Even though his abilities were valuable in reversing Thanos' damage, shrinking to the size of an ant doesn't seem very threatening.
However, there is one forgotten ability of the hero that can make him much more respected.
In Heroes for Hire #13 by John Ostrander and Martin Egeland, the ancient android Human Torch from Marvel's Golden Age was being controlled by enemy forces.
And to stop him, Scott Lang had the brilliant idea to shrink himself into his robotic body.
He became the size of a human cell to access the most complex components.
But on his way, he found a synthetic "cell" of flame, the microscopic structure responsible for the hero's powers. Scott unwittingly touched the organelle and his body combusted.
Scott becomes Fire Ant-Man, temporarily.
But he wasn't injured. In fact, he temporarily acquired the ability to control the flames, just like the Human Torch.
He joked that he had become Fire Ant-Man, in honor of the species with the fiery sting, but the truth was different.
Ant-Man has the ability to absorb the power of other heroes by coming into contact with their power cells.
It works similarly to Vampira from the X-Men but only works while he is small.
Will the
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania's scriptwriters ever remember this power, or is this just another relic from the past?
Bringing back stars Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly as Ant-Man and the Wasp, respectively,
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania kicks off Phase 5 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The plot shows partners Scott Lang and Hope Van Dyne experiencing new adventures as they deal with the most dangerous villains and gain great allies.
Peyton Reed returns to direct the film, produced by Kevin Feige and Stephen Broussard.
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania also features Michelle Pfeiffer and Michael Douglas's return and hits theaters worldwide on February 17, 2023.
