It has recently come to light that, while he may have been penning early drafts of the script, originalAnt-Manmovie collaborator Adam McKay has bailed. The scrip is now being credited to Chris McKenna & Erik Sommers, Andrew Barrer & Gabriel Ferrari and star Paul Rudd. But make no mistake, McKay, who almost took over as director once Edgar Wright left, still has some fingerprints showing on this follow-up. Last year he confirmed his involvement as he and Rudd set out to do the first drafts of the screenplay. McKay is no longer lingering around the set, not due to any ill will or bad blood with Marvel. He has his own project underway at the same time, directing Christian Bale in the Dick Cheney biopic.
Paul Rudd is not only returning as a credited screenwriter, he also resumes the title role of theAnt-Man, alongside Evangeline Lilly as Wasp. Also returning are Michael Peña and Academy Award winner Michael Douglas, who reprise their roles from the 2015box office hit Ant-Man. Bobby Cannavale, Judy Greer, Abby Ryder Fortson, Tip “T.I.” Harris and David Dastmalchian will also be back in some capacity. New to the roster are Michelle Pfeiffer and Laurence Fishburne, as well asSean Kleier, Hannah John-Kamen, Walton Goggins and Randall Park. As you can see, this is one hell of a line-up.

In the aftermath ofCaptain America: Civil WarScott Lang (Rudd) grapples with the consequences of his choices as both a Super Hero and a father. As he struggles to rebalance his home life with his responsibilities as Ant-Man, he’s confronted byHope van Dyne(Lilly) and Dr. Hank Pym (Douglas) with an urgent new mission.
