  • ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania’ May Not Feature Judy Greer

    ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania’ May Not Feature Judy Greer

    When Marvel Studios announced the third entry of the Ant-Man and the Wasp franchise, we assumed it would see the return of the original cast. Yet, the moment Kang the Conqueror joined as its main antagonist, it changed everything. It opened up the question if minor characters would get included or if the story takes a very unique direction moving forward. Well, Judy Greer, who plays Scott Lang’s ex-wife, confirmed she isn’t involved with the film.

    In an interview with ScreenRant, she shared her excitement to potentially join Quantumania. She hasn’t been contacted to join the production, which normally you would assume they’d make any dealings ahead of the production start. There’s always a chance they might invite her to film scenes at a later time.

    I haven’t been told anything so I guess I’m not in it. I’m actually not, I’m terrible at [keeping secrets]. I always tell people like, ‘Just don’t tell me if you don’t want me to tell everyone.’ No one has contacted me and feel free to print that, that I’m very available and very willing to go.

    The recasting of Cassie Lang is still a big mystery. Kathryn Newton is taking over the role of Emma Fuhrmann, who tackled the role in Avengers: Endgame. If her change is integral to the plot, they might want to also have her mother react to her daughter looking quite different. Of course, there’s still the chance the recasting won’t tie into the story, but it would make for a curious connection to the multiverse.

  • Connecting Imaginary Dots: ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania’ Filming in Iceland

    Connecting Imaginary Dots: ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania’ Filming in Iceland

    Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is currently busy filming since late July as it’ll close out the trilogy that started back in 2015. Director Peyton Reed has teased some of its production, such as its use of The Mandalorian’s famous Volume, where he also worked on the Disney+ series the second season. Back in February, we even heard that they are filming something in Turkey, as revealed by its Tourism minister at the time. After some digging, some crumbs also seem to be hinting that production is heading to Iceland.

    The company TrueNorth has a list of films and TV series they work with on their website. It offers production services to help overseas studios film in the Nordics, which includes Norway, Faroe Islands, Greenland, Finland, and Iceland. TrueNorth has quite the filmography, as they’ve worked with The Mandalorian, Avengers: Endgame, Black Widow, Eurovision: The Story of Fire Saga, and many more in the past. In one of their latest updates, it seems that Ant-Man and the Wasp‘s third entry is also working with the company. They are listed after Mission: Impossible 7, which recently wrapped up production. Of course, it doesn’t pinpoint where exactly they were filming, but IMDb might have just the answer we need if we take a closer look at their Location Management.

    The listing does include a supervising location manager for Iceland by the name of Thor Kjartansson. Taking a look at his page, he’s no stranger to working with Marvel Studios, as he also had the same role in Iceland for the upcoming Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Avengers: Endgame, and Captain America: Civil War. So, the updates may hint they are or already have filmed in Iceland. There’s a chance that production was done by the film’s second unit but either way the Icelandic landscape offers some beautiful backdrops for the upcoming threequel.

  • Peyton Reed Shares First BTS Photo as ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania’ Starts Production

    Peyton Reed Shares First BTS Photo as ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania’ Starts Production

    It looks like Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania has officially entered production. Director Peyton Reed shared the first image from the principal photography on Twitter, which features Cassie Lang’s iconic ugly rabbit from the first film. The director teased their use of The Mandalorian‘s Volume around two months ago, as they prepared for production. Its official start isn’t too far off from the June 2021 start predicted around a year ago. Even Evangeline Lilly hinted at the summer production start in her Instagram post from a few months ago.

    The brief look of Cassie’s rabbit is a curious detail, as it may hint at the story revolving around her becoming Stature. The Biohazard sign in the background doesn’t tease an easy journey ahead. It’s still uncertain why they recast Lang’s daughter, as Kathryn Newton will take over the role of Avengers. Endgame‘s Emma Fuhrmann.

     

    There’s a good chance that Cassie may start her journey to becoming the Young Avengers’ member Stature. We’ve seen countless members appear throughout the last few projects. Plus, the inclusion of Jonathan Majors‘ Kang the Conqueror also hints at their connection. We still don’t know how exactly the stories will connect. Perhaps the change in casting is a catalyst for the story, as Lang tries to find out what happened to his daughter that he reunited with during the events of Endgame.

    It leads them on an adventure through the Quantum Realm and comes face-to-face with Kang. There are still some open questions surrounding Michelle Pfeiffer‘s Janet van Dyne and her time in this realm. So, it might connect to the overarching multiverse plotline that got kicked off by Loki‘s final episode.

  • ‘CAPTAIN MARVEL 2’ Filming Next Week Under Working Title “Goat Rodeo”

    ‘CAPTAIN MARVEL 2’ Filming Next Week Under Working Title “Goat Rodeo”

    There was an unfortunate mix-up a couple of weeks ago, with a previous report that the working title of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania was “Goat Rodeo.” It’s been discovered recently, however, that this is incorrect. LRM Online posted on March 16th that “Goat Rodeo” is actually the working title of Captain Marvel 2. I’ve done some research and found ample evidence of my own to back up their claim. We’ve also recently learned that Captain Marvel 2 (aka Warbird II Productions) will be briefly filming some aerial shots in New Jersey next week under the working title “Goat Rodeo.” It’s important to note these are likely establishing shots or VFX work and that no actors will be present.

    With Captain Marvel 2 going by “Goat Rodeo”, we can also confirm that Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is using the working title “Dust Bunny.” Both productions are expected to begin principal photography this summer with Captain Marvel 2 scheduled for a November 11, 2022 release. 

  • Rumor: ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania’ Working Title Revealed

    Rumor: ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania’ Working Title Revealed

    If you’ve been missing Paul Rudd’s Scott Lang as much as I have, then you probably are eagerly awaiting Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. Given that crazy sounding main title, and a freshly rumored working title like Goat Rodeo, Scott and Hope will certainly have their hands full.

    Derek Cornell of the DisInsider dropped that Goat Rodeo was the working title on his Twitter today.

    Why is this significant? Goat Rodeo is a slang term for a huge fiasco, or a trainwreck of a situation. So it’s highly unlikely we’ll have cute little baby goats in colorful knitted sweaters bounding around the MCU, wreaking all too adorable havok. However whatever Jonathan Majors as Kang the Conqueror gets up to in the third Ant-Man film will most certainly be a massive and probably chaotic challenge for our tiny but mighty MCU heroes to try to overcome.

    ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania’

    Premiere: February 17, 2023

    As you first heard on my Murphy’s Law podcastAnt-Man 3 is a go! The film hasn’t been given an official release date at this point, but it is already in the early stages of set design and, prior to the COVID pandemic, was supposed to enter pre-production early in 2020 (no, that is not a typo) suggesting that it might be a much larger film than what people are expecting. Not too long ago I shared the rumor I heard that this may be the film in which Marvel Studios assembled the Young Avengers, a rumor which seems to have gained support among the fan base. If that’s the case, Ant-Man 3, directed by Peyton Reed, could close out the franchise with a large-scale universe altering film when it debuts.

    Originally set to begin production in early 2021 for a February 2022 release, production on Ant-Man 3 has apparently been rescheduled for June of 2021. As of September, new wirter Jeff Loveness was still working on finishing the script and the film is still scheduled to film in the UK.

    In September 2020 Deadline confirmed Jonathan Majors (Da 5 BloodsLovecraft Country) was to join the MCU as a lead in Ant-Man 3, being likely that he’ll be portraying none other than Kang the Conqueror.

    During the Disney Investor Day on December 10, 2020, it was confirmed that the role of Cassie Lang would be recast, with Kathryn Newton stepping in to play the role.

    Following what is expected to be the final post-pandemic reschedule of the Marvel Studios slate, Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania has seen its premiere shifted to July 28, 2023. Six months afterward the project saw its release date changed once again. This time, trading premiere slots with The Marvels meant it would now be coming to theaters in February 2023.

    After initial reports hinting at his return in the summer of 2021, later that year it was rumored that Corey Stoll would indeed be returning to the Ant-Man franchise as none other than M.O.D.O.K.. Samuel L. Jackson seemingly confirmed he would be making an appearance in the Ant-Man threequel in a March 2022 interview. It was also confirmed that William Jackson Harper would be joining the MCU in an, as of yet, undisclosed role.
