Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania’s writer revealed some big story inspirations for the start to Phase 5 of the MCU. Variety spoke to Jeff Loveness about the third Ant-Man story and what narratives he looked toward to mold it. Interestingly, the writer said that “underdog dad” movies loomed large in his head. Stuff like Father of the Bride or Jumanji were rattling around in there. Now, comedy is not an unfamiliar territory for Rudd’s Avenger. Both Ant-Man and Ant-Man and the Wasp both feature their share of laughs. However, the parenthood angle is taking a much bigger role in Quantumania. After all, the Ant-Family has found themselves pulled into the Quantum Realm and Cassie Lang has never really seen a “real” brush with supervillain danger. So, there’s going to be some real stakes for both father and daughter to overcome in this feature.
Jeff Loveness says his inspiration for the #AntManAndTheWaspQuantumania script stemmed from ’90s Robin Williams films. https://t.co/274r8X3JwO pic.twitter.com/5axrcRb1vq
