Granger at the Movies: ‘Ant-Man and The Wasp,’‘Hearts Beat Loud,’ ‘Tag’

By Susan Granger

Special to WestportNow

As “Ant-Man and The Wasp” begins, Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) — aka Ant-Man — has been under house arrest for two years, devising elaborate games to play with his 10-year-old daughter Cassie (Abby Ryder Fortson) while his cronies (Michael Pena, David Dastmalchian, Tip ‘T.I.’ Harris) run their security consultant business.

Meanwhile, his mentor, Dr. Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) has discovered that his long-lost, miniaturized wife, Janet Van Dyne (Michelle Pfeiffer), has been trapped for 30 years in the subatomic Quantum Realm, the minuscule space between the molecules.

So Hank and his skeptical daughter Hope (Evangeline Lilly) — aka The Wasp — smuggle Scott out of the house to help rescue Janet because he once mind-melded with her and their quantum psychic connection remains.

“Do you guys just put the word ‘quantum’ in front of everything?” Scott inquires.
