The Hollywood Reporter has returned from the Quantum Realm bearing gifts – specifically, an exclusive peek at the official LEGO set of Ant-Man and the Wasp.
Aptly titled “Quantum Realm Explorers,” Marvel has earmarked the $19.99 collection for a release on June 1st – Peyton Reed’s pint-sized sequel takes flight on July 6th – and it bundles together a miniature version of Ant-Man, the Wasp and the shrinkable vehicle they’ll be using in their search for Janet Van Dyne (Michelle Pfeiffer), the original Wasp who went subatomic during the height of the Cold War, much to the dismay of her husband, Hank Pym.
And so begins a quest to rescue Janet from the Quantum Realm, as Paul Rudd’s Scott Lang has previous experience in the field. He’ll need all the help he can get, of course, and below you’ll be able to take a closer look at the sequel’s LEGO counterpart, beginning with a primer on Hank Pym’s molecular craft, courtesy of THR:
The vehicle has a bug-eye shaped cockpit, insect arms, stud shooters and two adjustable engines for launch, hover and flight modes, and three mufflers. The vehicle measures over 2 inches (7 cm) high, 5 inches (15 cm) long and 3 inches (9 cm) wide.
Pretty cool, eh? Also included in this LEGO set is a tiny version of Ghost, the movie’s elusive villain to be played by Tomb Raider and Ready Player One star, Hannah John-Kamen. Originally an enemy to Iron Man, we know that character was first portrayed as a male in Marvel Comics, so we’re intrigued to discover what John-Kamen brings to the gender-swapped role.
Look for Ant-Man and the Wasp to make a beeline for theaters on July 6th, at which point we may discover that Peyton Reed’s sequel has stronger ties to Captain Marvel (and Avengers 4!) than we’ve been led to believe…
