Critic Consensus
Critical reception for Ant-Man and the Wasp is broadly positive, with most reviewers finding it an entertaining and consistently funny entry in the Marvel series. The film's humor and lighthearted tone drew the most praise, with several critics singling out Michael Peña's comedic performance and Paul Rudd's likeable screen presence as highlights. The most notable criticism came from one reviewer who felt the film suffered as a follow-up to Avengers: Infinity War, with its lighter stakes making it feel like a letdown by comparison. Overall, critics found it a worthy if unambitious addition to the franchise.

“It's a consistently enjoyable film that's more surefooted than its predecessor, and while it's never groundbreaking, you will break into plenty laughs.”Read full review ↗
“Having delivered a surprise hit with 2015 film Ant-Man, director Peyton Reed again banks on the fact that the biggest strength of his Marvel superhero is his ordinariness and likeability.”Read full review ↗
“'Ant-Man' and the Wasp is the Marvel underdog that scores big, replicating the nature of the ongoing Football World Cup. It also explains why Lang didn't join the Avengers in Infinity War. Watch it!”Read full review ↗
“While the titular superheroes get busy making a go of it, Ant Man's feel for wit and goodwill peppers the proceedings. Most of it is a consequence of Lang's delightful dependence on old pal Luis (Michael Peña). Peña continues his scene-stealing comedic streak along with a loony crew. Gags involving truth serums and Russian folklore figure Baba Yaga inject Ant-Man and the Wasp with such infectious merriment; the smile stays on long after you've left the theatre.”Read full review ↗
“All said and done, Ant-man And The Wasp is a worthy upgrade. It's entertaining, funny and full of stylish action. A must watch for MCU fans & wait with your bated breath in the end.”Read full review ↗
“Even the irresistible charm of Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly can't save Marvel's new film from being a let-down after Avengers Infinity War.”Read full review ↗
