Although Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania has been chosen to kickstart Marvel’s Phase 5, it’s also the third movie in Ant-Man’s personal saga. In a new interview, director Peyton Reed has explained that he always thought of the films as a trilogy–though he didn’t rule out more Ant-Man films in the MCU’s future.
Speaking to Lifehacker Australia, Reed explained that his vision for the Ant-Man movies was influenced by the films he grew up with. “I think in the back of your mind, for an optimistic person, you’re like oh, it would be great to do a trilogy of these movies,” Reed explained. “I grew up with trilogies, Back to the Future, Star Wars, the Indiana Jones trilogy. So to me, it’s like I treated this like a three act structure of this story.”
