'Ant-Man and the Wasp' release date, cast news: Latest set photos show Michael Douglas, Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lilly all suited up

Everyone may be hyped when the "Black Panther" trailer recently dropped, but some new set photos from "Ant-Man and the Wasp" have recently emerged. Photos of Michael Douglas, Evangeline Lilly, and Paul Rudd all suited up and in character have been revealed, and where they are could probably give fans an idea of what is happening.

These photos come from Just Jared, and it shows Douglas wearing what would appear to be his own superhero suit. When Edgar Wright served as the director, it was thought that Hank Pym would have also joined in the action as the Black Ant in the first film. That may not have happened, but it appears that he will be in the sequel.

More photos from Just Jared reveal Lilly and Rudd on the set, both in their Ant-Man and Wasp costumes. The sequel will pick up after the events of "Captain America: Civil War" and Scott Lang is trying to find a balance between his life as a super-hero and his life with his family. He is confronted with Hope van Dyne and Hank Pym with a new mission that has the Ant-Man teaming up with the Wasp to uncover the secrets from their past.

Seeing as Douglas will also be joining in on the action, the sequel will also involve them going into the Quantum Realm to look for his wife, Janet van Dyne (Michelle Pfeiffer).

Judy Greer, Bobby Cannavale, Michael Pena, David Dastmalchian, and Tip "T.I." Harris will also be reprising their roles in the sequel. Laurence Fishburne, Randall Park, Hannah John-Kamen, and Walton Goggins are the newest additions to the cast.

The script is written by Gabriel Ferrari, Andrew Barrer, Chris McKenna, Erik Sommers, and Rudd. Peyton Reed is returning to direct after having served as the director in the first "Ant-Man" film.

"Ant-Man and the Wasp" will premiere on July 6, 2018.
