Confirmed: Paul Rudd Confirms ‘Ant-Man 3‘ is “In the Works” at Marvel Studios. Marvel fans have been awaiting news on the fate of the Ant-Man franchise and now we have official word that Ant-Man 3 has been green-lit by Marvel Studios and will likely begin production in Summer 2021.

The news was confirmed by the films leading man, Paul Rudd (Scott Lang/Ant-Man) during an Actors on Actors interview with Chris Evans hosted by Variety. At the tail end of the conversation Rudd shares, “[A third Ant-Man is] the idea,” Rudd said in a recent interview with Chris Evans. “I don’t know what I’m supposed to say or what I’m not supposed to say but with this quarantine who even knows anything anymore?” When Evans continued to ask him about Ant-Man 3, Rudd ultimately remembered how tight-lipped Marvel Studios prefers their actors be. “I’m not going to be able to say anything, Chris,” he said. “You know the world.”

As for the predicted production start date, that news was shared with an insider close to Murphy’s Multiverse who shared, “I initially struggled with whether or not to share this information given the current uncertainty surrounding productions, especially here in the U.S.; however, in sharing it might clear up some confusion, so here it is: as of now, Ant-Man 3 has been rescheduled to begin production in June of 2021 in Atlanta. At the moment it’s really hard to predict what will happen with film and TV production in the coming months, much less all the way into next Summer, so I certainly wouldn’t start etching this one in stone any time soon but it is worth noting for one reason: when Marvel Studios reshuffled their release lineup earlier this year, fans were surprised, if not disappointed, that Ant-Man 3 wasn’t included on the slate.”

The fate of the franchise has been in limbo for some time, with many fans believing the uncertainty was partially to help keep the storyline secret in Avengers: Endgame, but with SO much content to be explored and explainations about the quantum realm to be had, it was very unlikely Marvel fans would have let the studio overlook a third Ant-Man film for long.

Peyton Reed is set to return as the director for Ant-Man 3 to complete the trilogy. Both Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly are set to reprise their rolls as Scott Lang (Ant-Man) and Hope Van Dyne (The Wasp). Also expected to return are Michael Douglas (Hank Pym), Michelle Pfeiffer (Janet Van Dyne), and Michael Peña (Luis). Writer and co-producer Jeff Loveness has been chosen by Marvel to pen a script for the third installment in the Ant-Man franchise. We can’t wait to learn more about this sequel and how it will affect the future of the MCU.

There is a rumor going around that 2020 Disney World ticket sales will begin tomorrow, July 9!

Some guests are reporting that they have received an email from Disney stating that Disney World‘s 2020 theme park tickets will resume sales tomorrow.

Disney paused ticket sales for this year when the parks closed earlier this year. They originally said 2020 sales would resume “later this summer” but gave no specific date.

2021 package reservations and ticket sales opened last month for dates through September 2021. Guests wanting or needing to purchase tickets for 2020 have been anxiously waiting for Disney to announce when sales would resume.

We don’t have official confirmation from Disney about this rumor but we will continue to monitor and watch for an announcement. Stay tuned!

#CancelHamilton Trends After ‘Hamilton‘ Debuts on Disney+. Hamilton is an instantly iconic musical released in 2015 that details the life of Alexander Hamilton in two acts, along with how various historical characters influenced his life such as Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de Lafayette, Aaron Burr, John Laurens, Hercules Mulligan, Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton, Angelica Schuyler, Peggy Schuyler, Philip Hamilton, and former presidents George Washington, James Madison, and Thomas Jefferson. There is much more to the story, but a key element missing from the musical has first time viewers upset over the “glorification” of the founding father who was known to oversee the trade and sale of slaves for his in-laws.

Recent social justice movements have sparked the question, “Why are we overlooking the fact that Hamilton was a slave trader?” feeling that the show glorifies the founding fathers without sharing the darker aspects of their lives. The hashtag, #CancelHamilton, was trending after the movie version of the musical was released on Disney+, reaching a broader audience, and even caught the attention of the musical’s creator, Lin Manuel-Miranda.

Miranda shared the tweet of a concerned viewer and wrote: “Appreciate you so much, @brokeymcpoverty. All the criticisms are valid. The sheer tonnage of complexities & failings of these people I couldn’t get. Or wrestled with but cut. I took 6 years and fit as much as I could in a 2.5 hour musical. Did my best. It’s all fair game.”

Lin’s answer was classy and evident that he feels there was much more to Hamilton than the show could ever represent, but the time restraint needed to create a successful show left many stories untold. Luckily, for someone who is interested in learning more about Alexander Hamilton there is plenty of research and records to give insight into the life and legacy of the founding father.

You can stream Hamilton anytime on Disney+.

Given the popularity of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it’s no surprise that even the singer Janelle Monáe has expressed interest in playing superhero. In an interview with Empire, Monáe said that she is interested in playing the fan-favorite mutant, Ororo Munroe, who’s better known as the X-Men’s Storm.  X-Men, in an upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe film. The star said that she’s even floated the idea of playing the character with Ryan Coogler, the director of Marvel’s 2018 hit movie Black Panther. 

“I definitely have thrown it out there,” Monáe said about her desire to appear in the upcoming sequel to Black Panther. “One of my dreams has always been to play Storm. I don’t know if she comes in Black Panther, but it would be a dream to have her in it.”

Monáe went on to voice her respect for the other actresses who have portrayed the thunder-wielding character, including Halle Berry and Alexandra Shipp, and said that she would be honored to join their ranks. “A lot of women have played Storm and they’ve done an exceptional job, and I would love to be in that line of artists and get to do Storm justice,” she said.

Many are excited for the debut of both X-Men and Fantastic in the MCU after Disney’s acquisition of 20th Century Fox. Although no official announcements have been made yet regarding when we’ll see them return to the big screen, we are still highly anticipating their MCU debut!
