Ant-Man 3: Paul Rudd-starrer begins production in London

The much-awaited third solo movie featuring Paul Rudd’s Ant-Man has gone on floors in London. The actor revealed this on an Instagram video recently. 

While promoting a celebrity basketball game on American Footballer Tyreek Hill’s Instagram, actor Rudd let it slip out that he won’t be able to attend the game, explaining, “I’m in London filming Ant-Man 3”. It is not certain if this piece of news was to be revealed intentionally or was a slip of the tongue that some Marvel actors are famous for. Remember Tom Holland?

The production of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, which is slated for a February 2023 release, was delayed by the pandemic. It will see the return of Scott Lang as the titular character along with Evangeline Lily reprising the role of Wasp. Michael Douglas and Michelle Pfeiffer will also be returning to play Hank Pym and Janet Van Dyne, respectively. 

Newcomers to the MCU include Katherine Newtown, who will play Scott Lang’s daughter Cassie and Jonathan Majors, who will essay the antagonist, Kang the Conqueror. 

Jeff Loveness, who has written quite a few scripts for Rick and Morty, is the scriptwriter for the Peyton Reed directorial. According to Reed, the third instalment is set to explore the quantum realm in more depth as compared to the last two Ant-Man movies.
