‘Ant-Man & The Wasp: Quantumania’ Director Peyton Reed Announces Filming Has Finally Started; Plus First Set Photo

2021 will see one of the largest group of MCU movies shot as Doctor Strange: In The Multiverse of Madness and Spider-Man: No Way Home wrapped earlier this year. Stuff such as Thor: Love & Thunder, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, The Marvels (Captain Marvel 2), Ant-Man 3, and Guardians of The Galaxy Vol.3 will have kicked-off filming.

While we’ve had a few teases that production was underway before this week, it looks like Monday has seen cameras begin to roll on Ant-Man & The Wasp: Quantumania (Dust Bunny) and director Peyton Reed posted on Twitter that production has started (spotted by Ant-Man News) but was sadly deleted. It included our first set photo that had Cassie’s ugly rabbit doll in a lab set.

You can check out that post/image from Peyton Reed below.

The cast includes Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lilly, Kathryn Newton as the newest incarnation of Cassie Lang, Michael Douglas, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Jonathan Majors playing the film’s villain Kang The Conqueror (the evil variant of Loki’s He Who Remains).

The title suggests a return to the Quantum Realm and having Kang involved would give the impression that this will be another MCU film that will incorporate The Multiverse, as Loki has introduced audiences to the idea of variants and different universes interacting with each other. Kang and his variants are expected to become the successors to Thanos becoming the MCU’s big bads for years to come.

We previously revealed the film’s production designer is Will Htay and they return to San Francisco to shoot various exterior scenes. Main production is taking place at Pinewood Studios UK and they’ll have access to The Volume/StageCraft that director Peyton Reed previously used on Season 2 of The Mandalorian.

Ant-Man & The Wasp will debut in theaters on February 17, 2023.

‘Ant-Man & The Wasp: Quantumania’ Indeed Planning To Shoot Scenes In San Francisco

Ant-Man & The Wasp: Quantumania is going to be third installment in the Ant-Man franchise with director Peyton Reed returning alongside a a growing cast that consists of Paul Rudd as Scott Lang, Michael Douglas as Dr. Hank Pym, Michelle Pfeiffer as Janet, Kathryn Newton as the new Cassie Lang, and Lovecraft Country’s Jonathan Majors playing Marvel Comics baddie Kang The Conqueror.

The Ronin has been able to confirm that Marvel is planning on returning to shoot selected scenes in San Francisco, California at some point during the film’s production and likely will be exteriors. Back in November, we had heard that filming would be heading back but can now confirm this information as the studio is in the pre-production stage and securing filming locations before the summer shoot.

San Francisco is the main setting of the first two Ant-Man films and Marvel shot there briefly last year for Destin Daniel Cretton’s Shang-Chi & The Legend of The Ten Rings. Sony’s Venom and Venom: Let There Be Carnage has also used to location.

The Ant-Man sequel is expected to shoot primarily in the United Kingdom at Pinewood Studios UK under the working title Dust Bunny (via Production Weekly).The Pinewood facility is said to have The Volume, which Peyton Reed got experience using on the two episodes of The Mandalorian he directed for Season 2. As we previously revealed, the production designer will be Will Htay (Andor, No Time To Die, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, Rogue One, Solo).

Shooting their projects in multiple cities/countries has been tough for Marvel Studios during the pandemic and they might have scaled-back certain plans, but they’ve been able to manage this sparingly. The Hawkeye series has been able to shoot in both New York City and the Atlanta area despite the risk of any production shooting in the United States at the moment. Doctor Strange In The Multiverse of Madness is also said to have scenes shot in New York City even though the main production is at Longcross Studios in Surrey, England.

Lilly announcing on Instagram that filming on the sequel will begin this summer.

Marvel Studios hasn’t given Ant-Man & The Wasp: Quantumania an official release date but could be released sometime in 2022.

‘Ant-Man & The Wasp: Quantumania’ Working Title Is ‘Dust Bunny’

Production Weekly has listed the working title of Ant-Man & The Wasp: Quantumania as Goat Rodeo, a slang term meant to be used when things go really bad aka a shitshow. Fitting given that Jonathan Majors will be playing the Marvel Comics villain Kang The Conqueror.

UPDATE: Production Weekly seemingly got their wires-crossed as Goat Rodeo is Captain Marvel 2 and Dust Bunny is the working title of the Ant-Man sequel.

A goat rodeo is a slang term for something going totally, unbelievably, disastrously wrong, and there’s nothing left to do but to sit back and watch the trainwreck. In other words, a goat rodeo is a chaotic situation, fiasco, or, more vulgarly, a shitshow.

Filming according to actress Evangeline Lilly, will begin sometime this summer.

We can confirm that production is mainly taking place in England and they’ve hired production designer Will Htay (Andor).

Other recent working titles for the Marvel Studio films include Blue Bayou (Black Widow), Sack Lunch (Eternals), Steamboat (Shang-Chi & The Legend of The Ten Rings), The November Project (Spider-Man: No Way Home), Stellar Vortex (Doctor Strange In The Multiverse of Madness), and The Big Salad (Thor: Love & Thunder).

Peyton Reed returns to direct after tackling two episodes of The Mandalorian in it’s second season including it’s finale that featured a de-aged Luke Skywalker.

Marvel/Disney has yet to give the sequel an official release date, even if it’s said to be aiming a for date in 2022.
