'Ant-Man and the Wasp' is a sequel to two movies, reveals Marvel chief

The fans had somewhat guess it right and now Marvel's boss has confirmed it. Marvel Cinematic Universe' upcoming film 'Ant-Man and The Wasp' will take the story of the franchise forward and continue the plot of "Captain America: Civil War" as well.

Featuring Paul Rudd as Ant-Man and Evangeline Lilly as the wasp, the film is directed by Peyton Reed. Marvel boss Kevin Feige confirmed that the movie is set between the events of 'Captain America: Civil War' and 'Avengers: Infinity War' which perhaps explains Ant Man's exclusion from the Infinity War film.

Rudd`s Scott Lang/Ant-Man is grappling with the consequences of his choices as a superhero and a father.

In the movie, Ant-Man and Evangeline Lilly`s Hope van Dyne/The Wasp will team up after Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) asks them to battle Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen), who has the ability to be invisible and intangible. It is slated to release in India on July 13 in English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.

"It is really a sequel to two movies. It`s a follow-up to `Ant-Man`, while also showing the aftermath of `Captain America: Civil War`," said Feige in a statement.

"For me, there is a tremendous amount of excitement when you are able to tell stories like this and combine characters from their origin movies and then layer in their appearances from other movies. Because of this strategy, Ant-Man post-`Civil War` has now been exposed to a much bigger audience," he added.

The film also features Michael Pena and Michelle Pfeiffer.
