Marvel has recently announced the list of the movies that will be included as part of their Cinematic Universe: Phase Four, with 'Ant-Man 3' being one of the most anticipated films by fans.

Named 'Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania', plans for the movie were confirmed in November 2019, while its title and cast members were officially announced about one year later, in December 2020.

The first 'Ant-Man' was released in 2015, followed by 'Ant-Man and the Wasp' three years later, and 'Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania' will be the 32nd movie of the Marvel Cinematic Universe series.

What is the release date for 'Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania'?

Back in June, Rudd confirmed through a video posted on social media by Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill that shooting for 'Ant-Man 3' had already started.

"I wish I could be there," Rudd said referring to an event that was scheduled to be held on June 25.

"But I'm in London, filming for 'Ant-Man 3'. But maybe I'll show up [at the event], but I'll be really small, you might not be able to see me."

Directed by Peyton Reed from a screenplay by Jeff Loveness, 'Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania' faced several delays and changes in its schedule following the COVID-19 pandemic.

The 'Ant-Man 3' release date is currently scheduled to be February 17, 2023.
