Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania director Peyton Reed announced the beginning of principal photography with a tweet featuring a familiar face.
Reed shared the exciting news on Twitter on Monday alongside a photo of the hideous bunny that Paul Rudd's Scott Lang memorably gifted his daughter Cassie in the first film. The ugly but loveable stuffed animal is ominously placed right next to a biohazard container, and the cuddly creature is looking just as terrifying as we remember it.
It begins.

Cassie's childhood toy may well be making a return in the threequel, joining Paul Rudd as Scott Lang/Ant-Man, Evangeline Lilly as Hope van Dyne/Wasp, Michael Douglas as Dr. Hank Pym, Michelle Pfeiffer as Janet van Dyne, and Michael Peña as Luis. Kathryn Newton has also joined the cast as Cassie Lang while Jonathan Majors is set to portray Kang the Conqueror.
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is scheduled to be released on February 17, 2023, but there's a lot of MCU to come before that. Marvel's Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is lined up to be the next Phase 4 movie, releasing in September, with Eternals in November, and Spider-Man: No Way Home in December.
