Must Watch: These five films are the movies you need to watch to get a full understanding of what might take place in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. Of course they films include Scott Lang's introduction and progression over the past few years.

Extra Credit: Now the following films aren't required to get your tickets to Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, but they for sure will help get you ready for the future including the villain Kang The Conquerer and the stakes on the line.
Must Watch // Avengers: Infinity War
Iron Man, Thor, the Hulk and the rest of the Avengers unite to battle their most powerful enemy yet — the evil Thanos. On a mission to collect all six Infinity Stones, Thanos plans to use the artifacts to inflict his twisted will on reality. The fate of the planet and existence itself has never been more uncertain as everything the Avengers have fought for has led up to this moment.
Fans were left absolutely shattered by the numerous passing of beloved characters in this film. But it won’t be long before they return to experience all that emotion again – and how could you even think about missing out on Infinity War? It would be nothing short of a crime! Of course, Ant-Man may not appear through the whole film, but his absence does little to take away from this incredible piece for cinema history.
