If you have, then you might have wondered where Ant-Man was during the crisis on Earth during Thanos’s quest for the Infinity Stones. Well, this film might have the answers! Ant-Man and The Wasp takes place in between Scott Lang’s (Paul Rudd) last appearance on screen in Captain America: Civil War and May 2018’s Infinity War, so there will certainly be some gaps to fill in terms of the timeline and the sequence of events leading up to Thanos’s crusade on the universe. After all, this is the last MCU movie until March 2019’s Captain Marvel. This time around, Ant-Man teams up with Hope van Dyne, also known as The Wasp! (played by Evangeline Lily). Together, this duo’s adventure is sure to be packed with all kinds of action, regardless of their size! Ant-Man and The Wasp comes out July 6th. Watch the trailer here.
If you want to a different vibe from all the “hoopla” of the blockbusters this year, this biopic should be a nice change of pace.

This sounds like a film that has a bit of heart to it, and might be something that can inspire us to persevere and find the silver-lining in times of struggle! Don’t Worry, He Won’t Get Far on Foot comes out July 13th. Watch the trailer here.

Based off Kevin Kwan’s 2013 novel of the same name, this film stars Fresh off the Boat actress Constance Wu and first-time actor Henry Golding as our romantic couple.
