The film is gearing up to start filming in the UK this July.
Ant-Man and Ant-Man and the Wasp director Peyton Reed is returning to helm the film, with no current production start date set. Marvel Studios has yet to officially announce the project and likely won’t until Loveness completes the script.

There have been previous rumors that the film could set up a Young Avenger film or series.
Details on the project are being kept under wraps, Jeff Loveness (Rick and Morty) wrote the script.
