Following the success of their Ant-Man film this year, Marvel Studios has made the decision to add a sequel to their Phase 3 line-up.
The sequel, which has been titled Ant-Man and The Wasp, is scheduled for release on July 6th, 2018.
Due to this announcement, a couple of Marvel’s other superhero films have changed dates. Black Panther has moved up to February 16th (2018) and Captain Marvel delayed until March 8th (2019). As a result, Ant-Man and The Wasp has become the first Marvel film with a female superhero in its title.
Ant-Man’s success is as follows: Despite rough patches (like original director Edgar Wright leaving the project), Ant-Man earned $178.5M domestically and $231.3M internationally for a global total of $409.8M. It’s also currently rated as the #9 film of the year domestically.
However, before the sequel Paul Rudd will be reprising his role of Ant-Man in next year’s Captain America: Civil War.
