‘Ant-Man & The Wasp’: Watch All The Clips Plus The Post-Credits Scenes “Explained”

With Marvel’s most recent franchise-leviathan “Avengers: Infinity War” becoming only the fourth film to make $2 billion dollars worldwide – paired with the release of another highly-anticipated Disney-owned release “Incredibles 2” –  it’s fair to say that this summer will be dominated by superheroes. And of course, Marvel’s second release of the summer, “Ant-Man and the Wasp,” is upon us, and looking like it could gross as high as $95 million this weekend which would be a massive 66% jump from “Ant-Man” in 2015 (even a low-end $85 million weekend is a nearly a 50% increase).

The titular characters, played by the charming Paul Rudd and fierce Evangeline Lilly respectively, were blatantly absent from ‘Infinity War.’ Obviously, their story continues sometime after ‘Civil War’ when they must face Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen), a new enemy who suddenly appears from the enigmatic “quantum realm.”

Here’s the official synopsis:

From the Marvel Cinematic Universe comes a new chapter featuring heroes with the astonishing ability to shrink: “Ant-Man and The Wasp.” In the aftermath of “Captain America: Civil War,” Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) grapples with the consequences of his choices as both a Super Hero and a father. As he struggles to rebalance his home life with his responsibilities as Ant-Man, he’s confronted by Hope van Dyne (Evangeline Lilly) and Dr. Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) with an urgent new mission. Scott must once again put on the suit and learn to fight alongside The Wasp as the team works together to uncover secrets from their past.
