‘Ant-Man And The Wasp’ Director Squashes Hopes Of Character’s Solo Film

Marvel Ant-Man Michael Pena

The good news is the Ant-Man sequel has finally been released on digital and fans everywhere are excited to get a second viewing of the hit Marvel film. Those hoping for one of the film’s beloved characters to get a standalone film were unfortunately given some bad news, though.

Director Peyton Reed was asked on Twitter if Luis, the fast-talking character played by actor Michael Peña, would ever get a one-shot, MCU recap, or even a standalone film. The character is a fan favorite and definitely steals the show in every scene he is in. His signature shtick is when he tells a story in a very unique way with the characters he is referring to lip-syncing his hilarious dialogue. While he has no powers, his personality alone could easily fill up a One-shot and would definitely translate into a comedic film. But according to Reed, he won’t be getting one.

Luis is one of the things that makes Ant-Man stand out from the rest of the MCU. Peña is a great actor and could absolutely do a great job if he got a standalone film. Here’s hoping he’ll get one in the future.

Would you like to see Luis get his own film? Please share your thoughts in the comments below.

Directed by Peyton Reed, Ant-Man and the Wasp stars Paul Rudd as Scott Lang, Evangeline Lilly as Hope Van Dyne, Michael Douglas as Hank Pym, Michael Peña as Luis, David Dastmalchian as Kurt, Judy Greer as Maggie, Randall Park as Agent Jimmy Woo, Laurence Fishburne as Dr. Bill Foster, Walton Goggins as Sonny Burch, Hannah John-Kamen as the Ghost, and Michelle Pfeiffer as Janet van Dyne.

From the Marvel Cinematic Universe comes “Ant Man and the Wasp,” a new chapter featuring heroes with the astonishing ability to shrink. In the aftermath of “Captain America: Civil War,” Scott Lang grapples with the consequences of his choices as both a Super Hero and a father. As he struggles to rebalance his home life with his responsibilities as Ant-Man, he’s confronted by Hope van Dyne and Dr. Hank Pym with an urgent new mission. Scott must once again put on the suit and learn to fight alongside the Wasp as the team works together to uncover secrets from the past.

Ant-Man and the Wasp is available on Blu-ray release on October 16.
