Ant-Man 2: The Wasp Woman Appears
Ant-Man and the Wasp
Douban Introduction:
A new film from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Ant-Man 2: Wasp Woman Appears, highlights the stunning shrinking abilities of two superheroes. Following the storyline of Captain America 3, Scott Lang ushered in his dual identity as a superhero and a father of his children.
On the one hand, he strives to live his life while carrying ant-man duties; on the other hand, the second generation of Wasp women, Hope van Dane and Dr. Hank Pym, convey to him an urgent new task. Scott must put on his suit again and fight alongside the Wasp Woman to solve puzzles from the past.
Early word is that it’s a light, frothily comedic affair with Collider’s Steven Weintraub saying it’s “a tonne of fun and had the crowd laughing from beginning to end" and Slashfilm’s Peter Sciretta saying it’s “at its best when it’s almost an over-the-top silly comedy.”
