Early Praise For ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania’
The countdown is on for the official opening of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania which debuts in theaters on February 17, 2023. Industry insiders were given a first look at the film last night (February 6, 2023) and if Twitter feedback is anything to go by, early praise is pouring in for the latest film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
For those unfamiliar, Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly are reprising their roles as Ant-Man and the Wasp. Directed by Peyton Reed, Quantumania takes place after the events of Avengers: Endgame. Scott Lang (Rudd) and Hope van Dyne (Lilly) are joined by Hope’s parents Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) and Janet van Dyne (Michelle Pfeiffer) along with Scott’s daughter Cassie (Kathryn Newton) for a journey into the Quantum Realm where they must square off against Kong the Conqueror (Jonathan Majors) and his army.
Rounding out the cast are David Dastmalchian, William Jackson Harper, Katy O’Brian and Bill Murray.
Many critics are already taking to Twitter to share some initial insights about the film and feedback seems overwhelmingly positive with many praising Jonathan Major as Kang the Conqueror. Let’s take a closer look at what some of the critics are saying this morning!
Had an absolute blast watching #AntManAndTheWaspQuantumania. Creative, irresistibly energetic and filled with some great action sequences. Welcome Jonathan Majors -such a bad ass. The effects are superb. pic.twitter.com/KdVB7qvl2E

Jazz Tangcay from Variety calls the film “irresistibly energetic.”
The best Star Wars movie since 2018 is #AntManAndTheWaspQuantumania. It’s a huge sci-fi adventure with gorgeous world building that feels almost little un-Marvel in how much world building there is. But it’s got humor, heart, Kang completely rules & Michelle Pfeiffer steals it. pic.twitter.com/vRO2Poko2s

Germain Lussier from io9 made us chuckle when he said that Quantumania is the best Star Wars film since 2018.
Jonathan Majors is a force in #AntManAndTheWaspQuantumania. He’s compelling, chilling, and already giving a top notch performance. I love the complexity he brings to Kang with literally a single look. MCU really won with this casting pic.twitter.com/4W8VCLGFBv

Nora Dominick from Buzzfeed was heaping the praise on Jonathan Majors turn as Kang the Conqueror.
PHASE 5 HAS BEGUN! The new #AntMan movie is like a psychedelic rollercoaster full of frightening & hilarious oddities, plus one VERY menacing Kang. Big STAR WARS vibes meet the MCU at its freakiest & most inventive. MODOK is a riot, but Jonathan Majors conquers. Loved the ride! pic.twitter.com/gdJqHld3rT
