Context

Why does this story matter?

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is MCU's 31st movie and a sequel to Ant-Man and Ant-Man and the Wasp. Since these movies play a significant role in the MCU and are loved by the audience, Ant-Man 3 is also expected to woo cinephiles similarly. Though the film's future was slightly shrouded in uncertainty due to COVID-19, everything is now back on track!

Apart from an in-depth look at the mysterious Quantum Realm, another noteworthy aspect is the way the trailer balances somber tones with MCU's usual goofiness and humor.
