DespiteAnt-Man and The Wasp: Quantumanianot being out for another week, Marvel might already be thinking where Scott and Cassie Lang will be heading next as studio executives have shared the news ofAnt-Man 4is very much on the table.
The idea will be quite welcome byMCUfans fearing Ant-Man will not make it out alive in his third solo film, as several people have theorized that as a by-product of Kang The Conqueror’s rise to power within the unfolding multiverse. Nevertheless, even if superhero deaths are rarely final, that prospect speaks volumes about Marvel Studios’ in theAnt-Manfranchise as it heads towards Phase Six and beyond.

These statements were picked up byComicBookduring a recent Marvel press event, where producer Stephen Broussard confesses “We’re already thinking about it,” as far asAnt-Man 4is concerned. Broussard sums up the urge to continue working on Marvel movies as a matter of thinking “You’re like, ‘Yeah, what if we did X and what if we did Y?’ […] you can’t help yourself,” though the main takeaway for Paul Rudd’s character is that those talks between him, series director Peyton Reed and Marvel boss Kevin Feige are happening.
While this is Broussard’s firstAnt-Manmovie, he has co-produced several of the studios’ movies, including the firstCaptain AmericaandDoctor Strangeentries,Iron Man 3, or more recentlyLokiandWerewolf by Night. If Ant-Man does indeed get a fourth movie, that tally would see him tie Thor’s count, although the God of Thunder’s future is likely to include a fifth film.
Since the firstAnt-Manmovie came out in 2015, the character has always been one of the more unfancied Avengers with his movies receiving smaller production budgets and not becoming as popular as the MCU’s linchpins, nevertheless, that is all set to change inQuantumania. After all,Ant-Man 3has been labeled by its marketing campaign as the film that pulls the pin on theMultiverse Saga with Jonathan Majors’ villain being praisedin many of the first reactions prior to its official release.
Even ifAnt-Man and the Wasp: Quantumaniadepicts a bleak outcome for Scott Lang, Marvel’s intent could be interpreted as a sign that he will be one of their core Avengers in thelead-up toThe Kang DynastyandSecret Wars. Considering Paul Rudd is not getting any older,Ant-Man 4definitely sounds like a great pitch.
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumaniawill release in theaters on July 01, 2025.
