Ant-Man 3 Is A Big Team Up Movie Like Doctor Strange 2, Says Feige

Kevin Feige reveals that Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is a team-up film like Doctor Strange in the Multiverse. The latter, Sam Raimi-directed Marvel Studios movie continued Doctor Strange's arc in the MCU after the Infinity Saga. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness further explored the concept of the multiverse - something that, while integral to the time heist in Avengers: Endgame, was never fully tackled in the Infinity Saga.

Aside from being Doctor Strange's second solo-outing in the MCU, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is also dubbed a team-up film, as it features Scarlet Witch. Despite her healing journey on the heels of the events of WandaVision, Wanda Maximoff fully embraced her villainous side, which was motivated by her desperation to reunite with her kids. This pitted her against her fellow magic-wielder, and their matchup brought them to several other realities, including Earth-838, which featured the Illuminati. Admittedly, the film's scope was much bigger than a usual MCU sequel, and as it turns out, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania will follow suit in this regard.

He then adds that Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania will be in the same vein as it kicks off MCU Phase 5. Read his full quote below:
