Could Scott Lang follow Thor by becoming only the second Avenger to headline four solo movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe?
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania hasn't even hit theaters yet (it's set for release on the 17th), but it sounds like some ideas for a fourth film are already being discussed by director Peyton Reed, Kevin Feige and the movie's producers.
"We're already thinking about it," Stephen Broussard told ComicBook.com when asked about a potential Quantumania follow-up. "It's like, every movie's [is] its own battle and you bear the scars of making it and wanting to make it great. But hope springs eternal, and you start to put yourself back together after the journey of making the movie. You're like, 'Yeah, what if we did X and what if we did Y?' Like the wheels start turning, you can't help yourself. I don't want to say anything about specifically what those are, but yeah, you can't help yourself. Those conversations, those whispers, have already started to happen between myself and Peyton and Kevin."
While it's highly unlikely that any serious plans are being laid down at this early stage, it is interesting that Broussard and co. seem to have at least some inking of where the story could go next.
Initial social media reactions were shared following Quantumania's world premiere, and while many view the threequel as a strong start for Phase 5 of the MCU, the movie wasn't without its share of detractors.
Check out the most recent teaser below, and be sure to keep an eye out for our review when the embargo lifts.

Together, with Hope’s parents Janet van Dyne (Michelle Pfeiffer) and Hank Pym (Michael Douglas), and Scott’s daughter Cassie Lang (Kathryn Newton), the family finds themselves exploring the Quantum Realm, interacting with strange new creatures and embarking on an adventure that will push them beyond the limits of what they thought possible.
