Adam McKay Will Return for Ant-Man and the Wasp

Adam McKay, who has received Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay Oscar nominations for The Big Short, also had the pleasure of working on the script for Ant-Man. McKay informed Nerdist that he would be returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe for Ant-Man and the Wasp. Although McKay still isn’t sure how involved he’ll be, the writer is definitely on board for the Ant-Man sequel.

“We’ve been talking to Marvel actually,” McKay said. “We just talked to them the other day, and it looks like I will be involved. I don’t know if it’s gonna be right from page one. But it looks like I will definitely be involved. There you go. There’s a little headline for the fanboys!”

McKay also recently commented on the possibility of seeing a standalone Wasp movie, saying that “it all depends on this sequel and how the character plays.”

Ant-Man and the Wasp is currently set to come out on July 6, 2018.
