What MCU movies to watch before you see "Ant-Man and the Wasp"

Okay, this one is pretty obvious, so we'll go ahead and we'll put it in the first place.

If you have not seen Ant-Man yet, you should probably do it before going out to see what's going on in the theaters this weekend.

That said, if you still have not seen Ant-Man you will still have fun watching Ant-Man and Wasp . However, seeing the first movie helps to establish the relationships between the characters, and you will have a better understanding of their travels up to this point.

Fortunately, there are many theaters hosting an Ant-Man ] double feature tonight, screening both back-to-back movies. It would be a great chance to see them and not miss anything.

Captain America: Civil War is the greatest film of Marvel that has no "Avengers" in the title, and it has a strong influence on the events of Ant-Man and Wasp .

If you remember, Ant-L 'man was beaten alongside Captain America in Civil War which was against the law thanks to the Sokovia Accords. Once he was captured, Scott Lang accepted a plea agreement that put him under house arrest for two years, and that's where we find him when Ant Man and the Wasp begins. of the Ant-Man costume. Scott took Hank's costume when he went to Germany with Cap, who made both Hank and Hope props to his "crimes". This put a target on their backs, forcing them to hide. This is of course a major point of contention between the duo and Scott in the new film.

Marvel fans are still in shock ] Avengers: Infinity War who hit the theaters there a few months. Being the light, funny adventure that Ant-Man and the Wasp is, it provides a nice break from the tragedy of the war of infinity, but that does not mean that the two are not connected .

Ant-Man and Wasp takes place two years after the events of Captain America: Civil War putting at the same time as Infinite War .

Many fans have hypothesized that the post-generic scene of Ant-Man and the Wasp might allude to the tragedy of the end of Infinity War but it remains to be seen. However, the movie will probably give a reason why Ant-Man was not there to fight with the rest of the Avengers.

As we learned the movie trailers and TV commercials, Ant-Man and the Wasp presents the debut of Bill Foster, played by Laurence Fishburne. In the comics, Foster becomes the heroic Goliath, and the character refers to the code name of the trailer.

What does this have to do with Captain America: The Winter Soldier ? which was the first release of MCU directed by Joe and Anthony Russo, introduced the fall of SHIELD, which changed the landscape of the MCU, and changed the ways Nick Fury and several other characters operated.

Hank Pym and Bill Foster were working for the organization, and its downfall had a significant impact on both, which will be addressed in Ant-Man and Wasp .

This one could be a bit long, but Captain America: The First Avenger provides a lot of context for the history of SHIELD, and could certainly help someone to have a better understanding of the complex backstories of characters like Hank Py m

In The First Avenger we see Peggy Carter and Howard Stark create the SHIELD organization, and it was later explored in the television series of Agent Carter of Marvel on ABC. As we know from the first film Ant-Man Hank Pym worked closely with Peggy Carter while they were both part of the organization.
