Wasp won't just be a supporting character in the Ant-Man sequel.
Marvel Cinematic Universe release 'Ant-Man' was a surprise success when it dropped back in 2015. Not many people knew what to expect from a film where the superhero's power was shrinking to the size of a minuscule insect, but the flick went on to earn some good to great reviews and now, a sequel has been confirmed.
That sequel - 'Ant-Man and the Wasp' - will bring yet another hero to the forefront alongside Paul Rudd's take on Scott Lang, aka Ant-Man, via actress Evangeline Lilly who plays Hope van Dyne in the first film.

'It's A Dream Come True': Paul Rudd Marvels Over 'Ant-Man' Role
By Holly Williams in Movies / TV / Theatre on 01 July 2015
The star makes his superhero debut in the upcoming movie.
Paul Rudd is set to make his superhero debut as the newest addition to the Marvel film franchise: 'Ant-Man'. And while it's a first for him to be taking on his first comic-book based role, he was facing something a little different to the previous Marvel films.
Not only is 'Ant-Man' Paul Rudd's first Marvel adventure, but it's also the comic book character's first movie; though looking at how cool it looks, it's difficult to understand why he has been ignored until now. 'It feels really strange, and cool, to be part of the Marvel universe', says Rudd. 'But to put on that suit - which, by the way, I think is the coolest looking suit of all of them - it's impossible not to feel a little bit like a superhero.'

Who Is The New 'Ant-Man' Director, Peyton Reed?
By Stephanie Chase in Movies / TV / Theatre on 10 June 2014
The search is over, Marvel have found their man and it’s ‘Bring it On’s’ Peyton Reed.
So Ant-Man finally has a director and his name is Peyton Reed, the search is over. The announcement may come as surprise to some, as Reed's name seemed to be a pretty late addition to the race, but Marvel clearly saw enough in the Bring It On director to entrust him with their most contraversial project to date.

Now he's officially in, let's get to know Peyton Reed a little better.
Reed has quite the diverse CV, with credits ranging from animated series to big screen comedies.
