We finally have an idea of what we can expect from Ant-Man and the Wasp, thanks to these first reactions from critics.
Ant-Man and the Wasp will premiere on July 5, 2018, but the first screenings for critics took place this weekend. The reviews are in…
And it looks like everyone is absolutely loving the latest Marvel movie!
Ant-Man is one of the more comedic franchises within the MCU, which will be a big shift from the huge stakes of April’s Infinity War, but based on these reactions, it looks like they pulled off the switch flawlessly.
The most praised aspects of Ant-Man and the Wasp seem to be Evangeline Lilly’s character, Hope/The Wasp, the humor (one reviewer affectionately called the movie “funny AF”), the action sequences, and interestingly, the (two) post-credits scenes.
Multiple reviewers claimed that the content mid- and post-credits were the best parts of the movie! We’re guessing the scene will have something to do with Avengers 4, since Ant-Man will connect directly to the next film in the Avengers saga.
Check out the first Ant-Man and the Wasp reactions here!
WOW! #AntManAndTheWasp is a total delight! Funny, inventive, smart and full of great, irresistible energy! The cast is perfect, especially @EvangelineLilly , and the new characters fit in seamlessly. It's got huge stakes, but never loses its smirk or the BIG heart at its center.

Sooo… #AntmanAndTheWasp is the perfect comic chaser to the doom and gloom of Infinity War. Also, Evangeline Lilly rocks as The Wasp. pic.twitter.com/NrXxy53xHZ

(as expected) #AntManAndTheWasp is really fun! If you liked the first one, you’ll like this one as well. (in my opinion, it’s actually better)

Had a blast watching #AntManandtheWasp. It’s super funny, which is its greatest charm. Very personal, small scale story (again) and definitely focused on being light and family friendly. Evangeline Lilly is a badass, and Scott’s daughter Cassie steals the show. Also, ants ? pic.twitter.com/PMAZf94gGa

What a year for Marvel! Absolutely loved #AntManAndTheWasp. Stellar ensemble and the humor is spot on. (Laughed myself to tears during one sequence!) The tech is used to great effect yet again. Unique, highly entertaining ride I can’t wait to go on again.

Just finished #AntManandTheWasp it’s funny AF, great fight scenes and the special FX are off the chain.

Dug the heck out of #AntManAndTheWasp. Clever and charming with lots of heart. It’s a bit exposition heavy, but otherwise a damn delight. One gag had me laughing so hard I was in tears and the post-credits scene is easily one of Marvel’s best.

#AntManAndTheWasp is cool and all, but the end credit scene is the best part of the whole film and the only thing I can think about right now.

OMG #AntManAndTheWasp is amazing!!! I loved it so much! I can't wait to see it again. I laughed so hard. Maybe more than Ragnarok… Michael Pena's Luis is HERO.
