Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania: A grand endeavour with too many missing links
Director: Peyton Reed Cast: Paul Rudd, Michael Douglas, Michelle Pfieffer, Evangeline Lilly, Kathryn Newton, Jonathan Majors Following the events of the “blip” and saving the planet from certain destruction, Scott Lang has made a successful transition into a career as an inspirational author and leads an idyllic life with his girlfriend Hope van Dyne. The movie really begins in the aftermath of this event as Ant Man is thrown into the Quantum Realm along with the others and the group is separated into different parties with Hope, Janet and Hank looking for answers in a sprawling city while Scott and Cassie are found by the rebels leading an uprising against Kang the Conqueror, the ruthless ruler of the land whose uprising was an indirect result of Janet’s actions in the Quantum Realm. The first film of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Phase Five makes some interesting choices that may be an indicator of the trend future offerings might be expected to make. Western audiences and critics have made a note of the worrying trend within the Marvel Cinematic Universe since the beginning of Phase Four, with too many timelines and story plots to juggle within its own expansive universe, quality control might not be the studio’s top priority as they roll out shows and movies one after another simply for the sake of meeting deadlines over genuinely being invested in the fate of the characters as the audiences would expect to see them develop.
