Marvel's 'Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania': First Reactions From World Premiere Out Online
Los Angeles, February 7 - Phase 5 of Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is about to kick off with "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania" which is slated for February 17 release. Ahead of that, the movie had its world premiere on February 6 at the Regency Westwood Theatre, in Los Angeles. ##
While the official review embargo for "Ant-Man 3" breaks on Tuesday, February 14, the early reactions for the world premiere have already started coming on social media. The initial reactions to a Marvel movie have always been mostly positive and things aren't different this time as well, though it suggests there is a different kind of wildness to look out for in the movie. ##
Directed by Peyton Reed and produced by Kevin Feige and Stephen Broussard, "Ant-Man 3" is the 31st film in the MCU. It sees the return of Paul Rudd as Scott Lang/Ant-Man and Evangeline Lilly as Hope van Dyne/Wasp, with Michael Douglas and Michelle Pfeiffer reprising their roles as Hank Pym and Janet Van Dyne. Kathryn Newton joins the cast as Scott's now-grown-up daughter, Cassie.##
Jonathan Majors plays Kang, the next chief villain of Marvel's Phase Five. The early reactions suggest Kang is the center attraction in "Ant-Man 3" and he has outshined others. Some have called it the best of the "Ant-Man" trilogy. Have a look at some of the reactions. ##
#AntManAndTheWaspQuantumania is the best of the trilogy. Higher stakes, dangers & repercussions. Its also got one the best MCU villains in #Kang. As soon as #JonathanMayors comes in, its his show. Kang is a scary lean-mean multiverse big baddie. Also, 2 cool post credits scenes. pic.twitter.com/t1V8HP2dsO— Fico (@FicoCangiano) February 7, 2023 ##
I will say though, there is ONE cutaway shot in #AntManAndTheWaspQuantumania that spoke DIRECTLY to ME and probably ME alone. (This is a real, if you know me, you"™ll know when you see this movie).— Courtney Howard (@Lulamaybelle) February 7, 2023 ##
#Quantumania REVIEW: SCARY & SHOCKING GAMECHANGER! Marvel is back with a fun, WILD adventure. This isn"™t just another superhero movie, it"™s one of the BEST sci-fi films ever! WOW"¦ A fitting end to her journey, while also setting up what"™s next #AntManAndTheWaspQuantumania pic.twitter.com/iTC9KkuehU— Atom (@theatomreview) February 7, 2023 ##
#AntManAndTheWaspQuantumania is the most mature installment of the franchise. Driven by emotion, it opens Phase 5 with exciting new action set pieces and sets the stage for the rest of the Multiverse Saga. Equal balance heart, humor, and excitement! Majors is a standout as Kang! pic.twitter.com/cmNZo5u9Wq— Michael Lee (@IamMichaelJLee) February 7, 2023 ##
ANT-MAN AND THE WASP: QUANTUMANIA is a blast, and finally answers some of the "where is the MCU going?" questions. Takes a minute to pick up, but has some great action scenes, creative visuals and a terrific villain in Kang. A solid start to Phase 5. #AntManAndTheWaspQuantumania pic.twitter.com/SaAwnZwOre— Shaurya Chawla (@_ShauryaChawla) February 7, 2023 ##
Had a blast with #AntManAndTheWaspQuantumania Paul Rudd has never been better & Jonathan Majors effortlessly conquers every second of screen-time he gets, BUT the real star of the film is Jeff Loveness"™ script: a reminder of how beautifully strange & mysterious the MCU still is. pic.twitter.com/MYoL6WPlmU— Dempsey Pillot (@DempseyPillot) February 7, 2023 ##
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 (@noradominick) February 7, 2023 ##
#AntManAndTheWaspQuantumania is a light & psychedelic space opera à la Marvel that starts Phase 5 on a mostly good note while keeping the spirit of the previous Ant-Man films. The introduction of Kang shifts the movie in full gear and doesn't disappoint thanks to Jonathan Majors. pic.twitter.com/puvp0cyZdC— matte (Matt Cote) (@m77oz) February 7, 2023 ##
#AntManAndTheWaspQuantumania kicks off Marvel"™s Phase Five with a vivid but messy spectacle. It never quite finds its footing and relies on style over substance, the quality never matching the confidence. Jonathan Majors"™ Kang is solid but the overall film is sadly just"¦ okay. pic.twitter.com/LzKXgCER7v— Simon Thompson (@ShowbizSimon) February 7, 2023 ##
#AntManAndTheWaspQuantumania was well balanced and fast paced. I loved the father/daughter moments in the movie. Jonathan Majors is a beast as Kang. With Black Panther and now #AntManAndTheWasp it feels like @MarvelStudios is back on track. Excited to see it again! pic.twitter.com/p5J0Fm7xF1— Emmanuel Gomez (@MannyGomezMedia) February 7, 2023 ##
