"Mission: Impossible" Director Returns for "Fallout"

At Tom Cruise’s request, Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation director Christopher McQuarrie became the first filmmaker ever to return to direct a second Mission: Impossible film. And does so with the upcoming Mission: Impossible - Fallout (in Philippine cinemas July 25).

“One of the signature elements of the franchise is that there has been a different director for every movie,” McQuarrie explains. “When Tom asked me to come back and direct this one I said I would do it on the condition that I could maintain the spirit of that tradition by completely changing the visual language from the previous film. I want people who watch Rogue Nation and Fallout to feel like two different people directed them.”

Paul Rudd Scales Up: Scott Lang's Heroism Looms Large in "Ant-Man and The Wasp"

For Scott Lang, there’s no shrinking from responsibility when it comes to family.  

When we last saw Scott Lang in Marvel Studios’ “Ant-Man,” he was trying to go straight for the good of his daughter Cassie. Now three years later, Marvel Studios’ “Ant-Man and The Wasp” will allow us to find out if Scott stayed on that path for the good of his family.

Paul Rudd, who reprises the role of Scott Lang/Ant-Man in Marvel Studios’ “Ant-Man and The Wasp,” reassures  that Scott is still doing the best he can. While that gives the fans hope, you never know when it comes to the Marvel Cinematic Universe; there’s always a super villain out there who tends to bend things to their will.

When it came to stepping back into the shoes of the reluctant Super Hero facing the unimaginable, Rudd took on a singular approach. “One of the things that I really like about playing this character is that Scott is thrown into these extraordinary circumstances of shrinking and flying around on ants and dealing with life-threatening situations,” says Rudd. “I’ve always tried to sustain his way of dealing with everything with a sense of humor and a carefree attitude. I think it gives an audience a fun ride to see somebody like Scott Lang take in all of this craziness. So, for me, that’s fun to play.”

Ant-Man and the Wasp - Smaller and Bigger at the Same Time!

We may still be recovering from Infinity War, but to fill that void is the last MCU movie of 2018, Ant-Man and the Wasp. Bringing the team up of Ant-Man Scott Lang and now Hope Van Dyne now suited up as the Wasp are together for a new mission and disovery.

The timeline close and within the infinity war corridor it will provide answers to their connection to the "Snapocalyse". But before that they have to battle a new foe, and discover the secrets and power of the quantum realm which Scott has been to in the first movie. This calls for the throwback team up of the original Ant-Man and the Wasp which is Hank and Janet.

One of the villain they have to face is Ghost who can phase through almost everything, something they were not prepared for. There is also the appearance of Bill Foster also known as Goliath who also used a super suit to become "Giant Man". And there will be a lot of shrinking and expanding in this  movie which was also a hit with the first one. Based on the trailer, there is huge salt shaker and Hello Kitty Pez which was hilariously amazing.
