HeroBlend Podcast #11: How Excited Should We Be For Ant-Man And The Wasp?

Welcome to the HeroBlend Podcast #11! Ant-Man and The Wasp is coming out in just a couple of weeks, so join Adrienne and special guest co-host Sean O'Connell from ReelBlend as they talk all about the new sequel and what might be in store for fans! After a robust news segment where we discuss Incredibles 2 box office, the possibility of "seeing" the invisible jet in Wonder Woman 1984 and some Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 3 news, we'll dive right into all the things that get us excited for Ant-Man and The Wasp! And, you can rest assured that there are lots of things to talk about with regards to that subject.

We'll kick off our discussion of this new adventure in the lives of Scott Lang, Hope van Dyne and Hank Pym by catching everyone up on where we last saw the characters and how long it's been since we last saw them once the new film begins. Then, we'll give you a brief rundown of the plot (as it's known right now), and get into some questions about The Wasp and the ever important Quantum Realm. Eric was able to visit the Georgia set of Ant-Man and The Wasp last year, and he learned some great things about the movie that we can now clue you in on, along with offering up some theories about some things that might go down. Who is Ghost, really? What's the main plot of the film? How might Laurence Fishburne's character be important? We'll go over all that and more. Last, but certainly not least, we will talk about potential ways Ant-Man and The Wasp could connect to the MCU as a whole. Sit back and relax, folks, because this is one chat you're not going to want to miss! Ready to dive in? Great! Read on to get the lowdown on this week's podcast and then listen for yourself above!
