Background for the Plot of Ant-Man and The Wasp
Once again, Paul Rudd (Ant-Man), Michael Douglas (Dr. Hank Pym), and Evangeline Lilly (The Wasp / Dr. Pym's daughter), join together in battle. However, this time it is against a very unexpected, mysterious foe, while also having to elude the FBI.
Ant-Man and The Wasp picks up the story two years after the Marvel movie, Ant-Man, with Scott Lang under house arrest. He was found guilty of violations of the world peace treaty for his actions in the movie Captain America, Civil War. Dr Pym and his daughter, Hope, have been in hiding for 2 years thanks to Scott. Because he used the Ant-Man suit when he helped Captain America, they were now wanted by the FBI.
Dr. Pym and Hope are pretty angry with Scott. They had realized that since Ant-Man had survived and returned from the Quantum Realm (in the Ant-Man movie), that Hope's mother, who was believed to have died there, could possibly have survived too, and they wanted to rescue her. Because they lost their home, their lab, and had to go into hiding, their rescue mission was on hold until they could recreate their lab.
The Plot of Ant-Man and The Wasp
(Spoiler Alert - Ghost Identity Revealed - Another Surprise Break from the original Marvel comics)
When Scott experienced a
mind-meld with Janet van Dyne, Hope's mother, he immediately called Dr.
Pym, even though that was a violation of his house arrest terms. Scott
had no way of knowing that Dr. Pym had just opened access to the
Quantum Realm again, but Dr. Pym knew as soon as he heard from Scott,
that they unfortunately needed him. Apparently, Janet was able to communicate
with them through Scott.
Unbeknownst to Dr. Pym, a previous colleague, Elihas Starr, continued working on a tunnel to the Quantum Realm on his own after he was fired by Dr. Pym for stealing. When his tunnel blew up, Starr and his wife were both killed, but their child was alive, yet changed forever. Now an adult, she needed access to the Quantum Realm or she would die. As the Ghost, she was determined to steal Pym's lab and tunnel to the Quantum Realm.
Ant-Man and The Wasp are required to fight Ghost in order to save Janet van Dyne.
You may think you know what will happen by what I have written, but once again, you are in for a shock. Remember, all of the Marvel movies have tie-ins with each others plot.
By the way, gotta love those ants!!!
