Now that Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania has come and gone from theaters and is streaming on Disney Plus, we can all take a step back and officially name it as one of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s worst-ever movies by any conceivable metrics.
Rotten Tomatoes approval rating? t bottom of the pile out of 33 feature films to date. Audience score? Also t bottom on CinemaScore. Box office? The lowest-grossing Ant-Man movie, one of the worst-performing entries in the MCU since the end of Phase One, and the franchise’s single lowest-earning sequel of all-time. Those are facts, people, and they can’t be denied.
There’s also the looming shadow of Jonathan Majors, but that’s only making people feel more conflicted now they’ve had a chance to revisit the film on-demand and come to the conclusion that the Creed III antagonist is carrying the entire thing on his back.
It’s easy to forget – forced to it through gritted teeth that he was the best thing about an otherwise-dismal comic book adaptation, even though the chances grow exceedingly higher that he’ll end up being let go.
