Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania likely won’t be the end as Marvel Studios confirmed that a fourth movie is currently in discussion. Just like that, the first phase of Marvel Studios’ Multiverse Saga has been and gone.
Phase Four delivered some of the best and worst entries in the franchise for many fans. Nonetheless, it still proved to be another roaring success for the MCU overall. The next and fifth phase begins with the release of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania next week.

Already the film has had its red carpet premiere and has been showered with glowing reviews from those who attended.
Moreover, the cast and crew of this latest installment to the Ant-Man trilogy also got to answer some burning questions. So far only one major character has gone beyond a trilogy of movies and has received a fourth solo outing.
Thor: Love and Thunder stormed into theaters last year and was met with mostly mixed reviews.
Furthermore, it’s been confirmed that Tom Holland’s Spider-Man will return for a fourth film with Marvel Studios and Sony. Plus, a fourth Captain America movie was announced at San Diego Comic Con last year.
However, it’ll star Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson as the star-spangled superhero this time around after inheriting the mantle. In addition, it’s now looking likely that Ant-Man will be the next Avenger to receive his own fourth solo movie.

Marvel Studios producer Stephen Broussard confirmed that conversations were happening. Broussard revealed:
“We’re already thinking about it, it’s like, every movie’s its own battle and you bear the scars of making it and wanting to make it great. But hope springs eternal and you start to put yourself back together after the journey of making the movie. You’re like, ‘Yeah, what if we did X and what if we did Y?’ Like the wheels start turning, you can’t help yourself. I don’t want to say anything about specifically what those are, but yeah, you can’t help yourself. Those conversations, those whispers have already started to happen between myself and Peyton and Kevin.”
Whether or not this planned sequel will feature Paul Rudd remains to be seen. From the looks of the trailers, Scott Lang might not be making out alive this time.
Only time will tell.
