Just like any other long-running franchise, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is subject to a standard set of tropes and trappings that can be found in the majority of the superhero saga’s output, but the final trailer for Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania has revealed the return of one of the most ominous.
Being a Kevin Feige production, we can fully expect Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly’s latest outing to feature snappy one-liners, bickering banter between the central characters, a third act battle against a multitude of CGI villains, and the requisite subpar visual effects that have become par for the course among the MCU’s most vocal opponents.
