Back in 2015, Ant-Man was a small hero, with little expectation on his shoulders. Based on one of the sillier-sounding characters from the comics (“I thought they had run out of characters and now they were making them up,” said Evangeline Lilly when first offered the script), it also suffered production problems as original director Edgar Wright departed, replaced at the 11th hour by Peyton Reed.
You’d have been forgiven for going in with microscopic hopes. But the film turned out to be one of Marvel’s most fun origin stories, with a perfect hangdog (ant-y)hero in Paul Rudd’s criminal turned, well, criminal (but with cool tech and a righteous mission), Scott Lang.
The scaled-down action brought a new flavour to screen superpowers. Ant-Man has since featured in Civil War, where he made a BIG impact on the side of his idol Captain America, but he was nowhere to be seen in this year’s apocalyptic epic, Avengers: Infinity War, apparently on house arrest for involvement in the Sokovia Accords-contravening dust-up in Germany. Ant-Man And The Wasp is here to show what Scott was up to during that time, and also to offer something of a respite after the heaviosity of the game-changingly ambitious Infinity War, acting as a reminder of just how fun a light, lean standalone MCU movie can be.

Back With a Vengeance - Sir Ridley Scott returns to the Colosseum with Gladiator II, the long-awaited sequel to the greatest historical epic of this century. Total Film meets the director and cast to discover how Maximus' legacy is echoing in eternity.
Ridley Scott is not a filmmaker to repeat himself. It's a trait that's all the more remarkable when you consider how prolific he's been over the nearly five decades since his feature debut, 1977's The Duellists. Alien prequels Prometheus and Alien: Covenant are the only times he's gone back to the same world, and those films are radical departures from the original.
Bad Romance - Timestalker Alice Lowe falls in love with the wrong man time and time again...
Her antidote to that? Timestalker a dark not-quite-romcom set over the course of centuries. Her protagonist Agnes finds herself attracted to the same man, Alex (Dunkirk's Aneurin Barnard), in every lifetime as she's reincarnated in the 1680s, 1790s, 1980s and the 22nd century. As romantic as that may sound, there's a bit of a catch: 'He's sort of a dickhead. On the surface he's appealing, but under, he's not.'
