Synopsis[]

In the aftermath of them helping thwart Thanos' intergalactic conquest and saving the universe, Scott Lang and Hope van Dyne were both deciding to move on from their heroic identities, right until fate once more led them back into Dr. Hank Pym and Dr. Janet van Dyne, as well as their small but skillful crew, when they discovered that the Pym Particles were now being replicated and used by an organization of ethically questionable scientists for their destructively selfish cause. Banding together once more as a team, the Ant-Man and the Wasp must team up to intervene with their atrocious acts and find their source of particles before it threatens the world.

However, when emotion and desperation drove them into travelling back in time to reverse a certain tragedy, they were unaware that the consequence of their actions had rendered them to abruptly deal with an intimidating force of nature that has the power to shape the plane of time, space, and reality, calling themselves as cosmic arbiters who have judged them guilty for interfering with time and space in accordance to their laws. The Ant-Man and the Wasp must work together with their team to hide and explore the Quantum Realm to uncover secrets from their past lurking from the subatomic depths and find out the mastermind who has framed them and has been messing with their reality.

Trivia[]

  • Due to her being introduced as Stature in the Young Avengers TV Series as far as 2016 and has starred in other several films after Ant-Man (2015), Cassie Lang (Kathryn Newton) is several years older than her Earth-199999 MCU counterpart, having been born somewhere between 2000 and 2002 in this universe.
  • Prior to the film's release, the synopsis of the plot was criticized by some to be strikingly similar with its predecessor film, Captain America: Secret Empire (2021), due to the use of plot in time travel. However, it was later explained and expanded in the film (as well as the film's director and writers) that the connection was written on purpose, not to mention the cameos of Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) and Bill Foster (Laurence Fishburne) being intentional in Secret Empire as a connective tissue.
    • During the film's release, the story was further praised for its clever writing, especially worldbuilding the multiverse into the Marvel Cinematic Universe by expanding the nature of the Quantum Realm.
  • The film debuts the first cinematic appearance of the multiversal organization Time Variance Authority (TVA) who first appeared in the season finale of What If...?, and formally expounded on the key concepts of variants and temporal counterparts as parts of the multiverse in the films since Avengers: Infinity War (2020) and Captain America: Secret Empire.
    • The first prominent and named variant that the main team has encountered in their unguided travel in the Quantum Realm was a younger Hank Pym (Emilio Estevez), who in his timeline and universe had lost Janet van Dyne (Hayley Lovitt) after A.I.M. had attacked their country with Quantum Tech.
      • The heroes' encounter with the younger Pym had something to do with with them time travelling in their attempt (specifically the Wasp) to save their Hank Pym, who died during the first act of the film during their first confrontation with A.I.M..
    • The variant Pym was able to thwart A.I.M. from taking over the country, except for his reality's Elihas Starr (Michael Cerveris), who somehow made it into the main reality before his Quantum Tunnel got destroyed. When Starr had taken over the main A.I.M., Pym has since helped the heroes in stopping them from doing the same thing in the main reality.
      • With the involvement of the TVA taking in place as a prominent role, it was later revealed in the third act that Kang the Conqueror was responsible for guiding the variant Starr into the main reality.
