Ant Man Wasp reviews

Get set for the funniest film in the MCU.

After Thor: Ragnarok gave us the Devil’s Anus, The Hulk in a hot tub, Jeff Goldblum going, well, full-Goldblum, and the *funniest character in the MCU, we wondered where things would go in Avengers: Infinity War.

*FYI, the funniest character is Korg. See you later, New Doug!

Well, Thanos has a knack for sucking the fun out of most things – mass genocide usually does that – but there were still plenty of laughs to be found in Avengers: Infinity War.

The bro-off between Star-Lord and Thor was a joy to behold, Drax pretending to be invisible was hilarious and as for the one-liners, it’s a toss up between ‘Why is Gamora?” and ‘More power rabbit!” for us.

Anyway, after the monumental downer that occurred at the end of Infinity War, it’s fair to say that comic book fans need something that’s a little bit lighter in the next MCU adventure and after seeing the first trailers for Ant-Man and The Wasp, we knew that this was going to have a very different tone.

Aside from this, there’s a strong case to be made that Michael Peña’s character, the bumbling thief Luis, is the most underrated character in the entire MCU. We love him.

Well, the first few press screenings of Ant-Man and The Wasp took place recently and the reactions have been incredible.

It appears that we’re going to have the funniest film in the MCU.

Ant-Man and The Wasp is released on July 6.
