Since saving the universe from extinction, Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) – AKA Ant-Man – has been living his best life. The ex-con-turned-Avenger now has legions of adoring fans, although his idealistic teen daughter Cassie (Kathryn Newton) is not among them.

When an experiment goes wrong, they are transported to the mysterious Quantum Realm, accompanied by Scott’s superhero partner Hope (Evangeline Lilly) and her parents, Hank (Michael Douglas) and Janet (Michelle Pfeiffer) – who spent decades stuck in the sub-atomic dimension. But it soon transpires that she may not have been entirely forthcoming about her time there, and in particular, what she knows of an exiled intergalactic warlord named Kang the Conqueror (Jonathan Majors).

This third entry in the Ant-Man series ups the stakes stratospherically and sets up Phase Five of the ever-growing Marvel Cinematic Universe in creative and thrilling fashion.
