‘Ant-Man 3’ Director is Still Working on the Film, Even Now
By George Robbins
The movie industry is currently working on their next move now that they know they will be able to show their films to the public in the near and not-too-distant future. In fact, not too long after the pandemic began, studios continued working in some way on upcoming projects that they plan on having come out within the next couple of years. Although studios had to shut down their productions for a few months in order for new rules to made for the set, they worked in the background. This means that while not working on productions, they were working on deals, plans, and scripts for movies that haven’t even been started necessarily. Therefore, there is plenty of news nowadays about films that will be starting up production some time soon.
Many of these projects have been mentioned to the public thus far and they are slowly getting under way with working on them to some degree. For instance, Kevin Smith started working on his script for ‘Mallrats 2’ again after the pandemic began and he is now discussing what he will be doing next for the production. Another example is the fact that ‘Scream 5’ is being worked on and they are even going to be trying to get the film out by some time next year. These aren’t the only examples as another one is the fact that work has actually started on another ‘Tron’ movie after almost 10 years. These are just some of the projects being worked on with even more of them on the way.
One of the biggest movie universes we have had the pleasure of witnessing on screen for over a decade now is the MCU. The Marvel Cinematic Universe spans countless movies and has such a diverse cast of characters that it has easily become one of the biggest, if not the biggest, shared universe in all visual media. This has made it so that any announcements in regards to a new MCU film are seen with open excitement by the general public at large. Even during this pandemic, Marvel Studios is trying their best to keep up by working on their upcoming movies the best they can. Of those upcoming projects, one that we were not really expecting to hear about was ‘Ant-Man 3.’
The MCU films have had just as rough a go of things as any other films because their productions were also completely shut down. Not only that but they also have a movie ready for theaters that they can’t release yet. Therefore no one expected to hear anything about ‘Ant-Man 3’ which wasn’t even on the roster for upcoming MCU films. Director Peyton Reed admitted recently that although the pandemic may be on-going, he is still doing his best to work on the film. He wants the movie to be ready for when they plan on starting production in June of 2021. He even admitted that they plan to have the movie ready for a 2022 release which is even more surprising due to the aforementioned fact that it hasn’t been seen on any kind of upcoming movie rosters. It is a surprise for sure, but a welcome one nonetheless.
