The day of reckoning is near, secrets come to light and the past returns with force. For the third cinematic chapter on the hero played by Paul Rudd It’s time to take stockbut also of discoveries. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantummaniain theaters from February 15 directed by Peyton Reed, accompanies the viewer in a microscopic world (quantum, to be exact), where all kinds of creatures live, different languages ​​are spoken and yet universal ideals are fought against. Yes, because this once peaceful land is torn apart by a civil war and Scott / Ant-Man finds himself in the midst of it despite him.
His sleepy normality, all roses and flowers (or rather kisses and beers on top of the Golden Bridge) with his partner Hope/Wasp (Evangeline Lilly, now light years away from the times of Lost), is interrupted bydaughter’s adolescent vehemence Cassie (Kathryn Newton). The little girl in cahoots with Hank (Michael Douglas, in a state of grace), the father of Hope, wants to prove that she is brilliant and special as a true heroine, but then ends up in serious trouble, involving Janet (Michelle Pfeiffer, absolutely great) Hope’s mother. In fact, the lady disappeared from the Earth for 30 years but she never wanted to go into details with her family. At least until now.
When everyone is thrown into this quantum world together, heroism becomes a family affair and, in Scott’s words, “there is always room to grow”.
In this phase 5 of the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) we always want to go further, in part because this 2023 coincides with a series of important anniversaries for the Mickey Mouse house: The Walt Disney Company is 100 years old And Disneyland Paris 30, birthday which saw the debut of Avengers Campus and promises the expansion of the world of the Avengers. Not just at the cinema.
But let’s get back to Scott ea this secret universe out of time and space, in check due to the threats of destruction of Kang the Conqueror (Jonathan Majors): in this new adventure concepts of physics are intertwined with the idea of ​​the multiverse. Result? Evil multiplies and feeds itself.
Throughout history many mysteries come to lightespecially related to Janet and her stay in these desolate lands (Michelle Pfeiffer’s poker face is sublime!). Family dynamics are explored within the framework of a struggle for survival but also for freedom and equality.
Once again fantasy becomes a mirror of reality and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantummania – as Paul Rudd also says – talks about diversity, immigration, conflicts and racism. All with a touch of surreal coming of age because in fact Scott keeps wondering how someone like him who worked in a fast-food restaurant managed to fight in the most famous superhero league in the world. Whether it’s tiny or gigantic, it still shows the potential of the common man, capable of making a difference.
It’s reassuring to think of Scott as one of us, called to perform extraordinary feats without losing his humanity. Indeed he makes you laugh for this very reason: all pleased with himself, he has written a memoir and listens to the audio book in the car. He enjoys the privileges of being an Avenger just like a worker who discovers he has won the lottery would. He hasn’t quite gotten over the shock phase yet, but he’s starting to adjust…
Despite the spectacular and amazing adventures he lives in the quantum world, perhaps it is the return to ordinary mortals that makes him truly special.
