A sardonic Paul Rudd continues to charm, even if he is the bad books of Hope (Evangeline Lilly) and Dr. Hank Pym (Michael Douglas), having ‘borrowed’ the Ant-Man suit to head off to Germany to help the Avengers.
Continuing a plotline from the first installment of Ant-Man, the father-daughter team are now fugitives themselves. They need the help of Scott to travel in the quantum world to find Pym’s missing wife (Michelle Pfeiffer). But they need to get Rudd out of his house – and avoid Ava (Hannah John-Kamen), the somewhat physically unstable woman who needs Pym’s technology to stabilise.
Lots of shrinking and enlarging of people, vehicles and buildings (!) abound with that technology in high demand, mixed with Hope in a suit of her own, Scott avoiding being caught out of home and the wonderfully funny Luis (Michael Peña) returning to continue where he and his team left off in the first film.
