For those who have been emotionally shattered by the ending of Avengers: Infinity War , the studio is providing a lighter note with Ant-Man and the Wasp .

With Infinity War, Marvel entered territory that is often claimed by rival studio DC — that of emotional drama and darkness. Gone was the levity that the universe had been known for, but what else can the audience expect when the universe is about to be destroyed.

Thus, Ant-Man and the Wasp . The second movie in the Ant-Man series shakes off Infinity War ’s sombre mood to give us all a delightful caper. This movie is set between the events of Captain America: Civil War and Infinity War . Paul Rudd’s Scott Lang/Ant-Man and Evangeline Lilly’s Hope van Dyne/The Wasp team up after Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) asks them to battle Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen) who has the ability to be invisible and intangible.

The end of the trailer takes us to a conversation between Lang and Bill Foster (Laurence Fishburne), who comics fans will recognise as Goliath. Ant-Man and the Wasp , directed by Peyton Reed, is scheduled to release on July 6, 2018.
