Disney and Marvels upcoming Ant-Man and the Wasp has received positive early reactions. The critics who were lucky enough to see it are calling it funny and action-packed. Ant-Man and The Wasp follows 2015s Ant-Man. Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) and Hope van Dyne (Evangeline Lilly) team-up as Ant-Man and the Wasp to explore the quantum realm wherein Janet van Dyne, Hopes mother and the original Wasp disappeared. The film is set between the events of Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Infinity War.

Colliders Perri Nemiroff focussed on the films humour. She tweeted, “What a year for Marvel! Absolutely loved #AntManAndTheWasp. Stellar ensemble and the humor is spot on. (Laughed myself to tears during one sequence!) The tech is used to great effect yet again. Unique, highly entertaining ride I cant wait to go on again.”

Slashfilms Peter Sciretta said Michael Peñas Luis has once again managed to make the audiences laugh out loud. He tweeted, “Ant-Man and The Wasp is a lot of fun. At its best when its almost an over the top silly comedy, less so when its about the comic booky villain driven moments. Some fantastic miniature/maxature action sequences. @realmichaelpena steals the show again.”

Uproxxs Mike Ryan also talked about Michael Peñas performance and said while he didnt like the first film, this one is a sure upgrade. “ANT-MAN AND THE WASP is for sure an upgrade from the first film (I didnt love the first Ant-Man). Lillys Wasp has at least the same, or probably more, action scenes than Rudds Ant-Man. Also: Michael Peña has a scene halfway through that brings the house down,” he said.
