The success of Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania has also renewed interest in the future of the Ant-Man franchise. While Marvel Studios has not announced any plans for a fourth Ant-Man movie, the movie’s strong performance suggests that there is a demand for more adventures featuring the tiny superhero.
