Ant-Man 3 will debut on February 17, which places the aforementioned images about six weeks before the big premiere, with Marvel fans currently waiting for a new trailer that will be put out this Monday during the College Football National Championship Game between the Georgia Bulldogs and the TCU Horned Frogs. Although the first teaser was dropped back in late October, finally unveiling Jonathan Majors’ Kang the Conqueror in full, an earlier preview from the San Diego Comic-Con was leaked months before.

What is most confusing is that the pictures posted by a Paul Rudd fan account on Twitter (@paulruddcom), actually appear to be centered around a scene fans already saw in the trailer, with Scott Lang casually walking down the street enjoying his newfound post-Endgame fame. In this case, Lang, the world’s most famous ex-Baskin-Robbins employee, is shown carrying a box of pastries bearing the franchise’s signature pink and blue colors, possibly hinting at this Ant-Man sequel having even more fun with that particular joke.
However, since these photos are dated January 6 by the source, the fact that the movie is still filming new footage at this late stage could be interpreted as a sign that test screenings have warranted changes of some kind. For now, fans will have to wait and see what Ant-Man And The Wasp: Quantumania’s new trailer has to show after already revealing Bill Murray’s Krylar in the first official preview.
Last year, both Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever underwent somewhat late reshoots, and while in the latter’s case it doesn’t seem to have affected the final product, the Doctor Strange sequel is believed to have suffered more substantial changes. Considering the light-hearted segment that’s being reworked or added for Ant-Man 3, these reshoots wouldn’t appear to be too consequential for what is undoubtedly one of 2023’s most anticipated movies, and perhaps they might be a way to insert further product placement or jokes featuring Lang.
In any case, once the new Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania trailer is out, it could be easier for viewers to compare side by side this particular scene. What will surely have more people excited is the potential to finally see what the MCU’s version of MODOK looks like given his rumored inclusion in the plot.
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania will release in theaters on February 17, 2023.
