The story occurs after “Captain America: Civil War,” where Ant-Man showed off his larger-than-life self as Giant-Man in the conflict between Captain America and Iron Man. Scott Lang once again juggles parenthood and being a superhero when Hope and Dr. Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) call him on a mission.
In the 2017 Comic-Con, critically acclaimed actress Michelle Pfeiffer was revealed as the Wasp’s mother, Janet Van Dyne.
Lilly was excited, to say the least:
