‘Ant-Man 3’ Officially Moving Forward At Marvel Studios; Peyton Reed Returning To Direct

Just a couple weeks back a report surfaced that Marvel Studios is moving forward with an Ant-Man 3. Now, that report is official. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Ant-Man and Ant-Man and the Wasp director Peyton Reed has signed on to helm the third film in the franchise. Plot details are being kept under-wraps at this time, but Paul Rudd is expected to return as Scott Lang, the heist-hearting hero with the power to talk his way out of any situation in the new installment. No release date has been confirmed but the studio is aiming to start production in late 2020/early 2021, so a 2022 release is likely.

So, it makes sense Marvel Studios wants to continue making films in this billion-dollar franchise. Source: Murphy’s Law Podcast & The Hollywood Reporter
