Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly are in preparation for their third team-up effort together as Scott Lang and Hope Van Dyne in next year's Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania for the MCU. With filming for the threequel having wrapped at the end of 2021, more than a year still remains until Rudd and Lilly's work on the script and plot comes to life on the big screen. For Lilly specifically, Ant-Man 3 will put her character into a more prominent role than ever before as she makes her fourth appearance in the MCU and her first after the Infinity Saga. She's already confirmed to be involved in some major action sequences after fully suiting up as the Wasp four years ago, and with both of her parents back in the flow, she has her biggest support system to date in a solo film.

Zendaya's Spider-Man 4 Arc Teased In No Way Home Script

In the months leading up to Spider-Man: No Way Home , the question on everyone's mind was whether former Spider-Man stars Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield would, in fact, appear. While that proved to be the case, the in-story implications of their cameos - and that of their villains - led to Tom Holland's Peter Parker's most heroic moment and the completion of his origin story.  However, the spell Peter asked Doctor Strange to cast, which led to everyone - including Zendaya's MJ - forgetting him to save the Multiverse, has actually raised more questions than answers in terms of its logistics.  ADVERTISEMENT While a Tom Holland-led Spider-Man 4 , and Zendaya's return, have yet to be confirmed, new information about Strange's spell and its effect on MJ has been revealed in the film's script, offering hints at what fans could expect from the web-slinger's potential next trilogy.

Following in the footsteps of 2013's Iron Man 3 , 2016's Captain America: Civil War , and 2017's Thor: Ragnarok , Marvel's last movie of 2021 threw Tom Holland's Peter Parker into the most intense solo adventure in Spidey's cinematic history. As more fans take in the biggest moments that this movie has to offer over its 148-minute runtime, the usual round of MCU Easter eggs and teases begin to make themselves more easily findable upon second, third, and fourth viewings. While some of these pay tribute to other franchises like the ever-popular Star Wars, others keep things right at home by referencing the history of Marvel Comics and movies alike.

Spider-Man Writers on Tobey Maguire's Return Marvel Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, Spider-Man: No Way Home screenwriters Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers shared some of the processes behind developing the MCU's latest theatrical release. Specifically, they addressed how great it was to work with Spider-Man stars Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield to bring their characters into the MCU. Sommers expressed how both actors had plenty of input on where their Spider-Men have gone since their solo movies, which helped the writing team bring them back the right way: ADVERTISEMENT " They had thoughts, and it was really interesting and helpful to see their thoughts. No one knows the character as well as — or gives as much thought to the character — as someone who has to then embody it and sell it. It’s always valuable to hear what the actor is thinking. It definitely shaped what we did." McKenna followed up by praising the "great id...
