The second trailer follows in the footsteps of the first, revisiting some of the key scenes. Although Michelle Pfeiffer's Wasp makes a brief appearance, it's in a flashback, so Marvel clearly still have some major surprises in store. But there's a lot still revealed.
22. Cassie Lang Teases Avengers 4
Scott Lang may consider himself to be something of a screw-up when it comes to superheroics, but his daughter has a different opinion. "I wish I could fight bad guys, like you," Cassie declares. In the comics, Cassie grew up in the shadow of superheroes - she was close enough to the Avengers to call Iron Man "Uncle Tony." After her father's tragic death, she actually became a superhero in her own right; Cassie has operated under a wide range of different aliases, from Stature to Ant-Girl, and has been a mainstay in Marvel's popular Young Avengers team.
It's possible that Cassie will ultimately achieve her dream in the MCU. Emma Fuhrmann as the teenage Cassie Lang, suggesting both a time jump and an increased role for Scott's daughter. We already know Ant-Man and Wasp will Earth's Mightiest Heroes, but could another shrinking hero take on Thanos too?

21. Ant-Man Again
In the aftermath of Captain America: Civil War, many of the heroes decided to stick with Cap. Scott Lang and Clint Barton, however, headed back to their families. According to Avengers: Infinity War, they signed plea bargains and wound up under a form of house arrest. It seems that, under the of these agreements, both heroes have been forced to abandon their superhero identities; per the trailer, Scott Lang hasn't been Ant-Man for quite some time.
But, of course, Scott has always been more than a little reckless, so it was always going to be a matter of time before he suited up again. And despite that plea bargain, the trailer doesn't exactly make it look as though Scott and his friends will be flying under the radar.
So far, there's been no real indication of just when Ant-Man & the Wasp is set. It's clearly after Civil War, but the movie could be any time up to Avengers: Infinity War. In fact, Marvel teased this new trailer with a simple question: Where were Ant-Man and Wasp? That means it's actually possible that this is happening at the very same time as Infinity War.
20. A Massive Car Chase To Catch Sonny Burch
The trailer opens with Ant-Man riding a truck in pursuit of some thugs. Scott has used his size-changing powers to grow to a larger-than-life size, and climbs on the back of a truck, using his feet to pursue the hoodlums. The contemptuous ease with which (Gi)Ant-Man deals with a guy with a gun - flicking it away with a finger - is perfectly in-character. Unfortunately, Ant-Man's heroism goes wrong. He winds up struggling to bring the truck to a stop, with his feet tearing apart the road. "I seem to mess it up almost every time," Lang its to his daughter.

But who is Ant-Man pursuing? Look closely and you'll see Walton Goggins's Sonny Burch inside the car, with Hank Pym's building on his lap. This we've seen a lot of this extended chase scene in the marketing for Ant-Man & the Wasp, and it appears that the building and Burch are the focus of it.
19. Wasp In Action
Part of that car chase involves an absolutely stunning action bear involving the Wasp, giving a sense of just good a fighter Janet must be. In-universe, it's clear Wasp has been honing her skills for quite some time, and has essentially developed her own unique fighting style; a combination of agile martial arts with size-changing stunts.
One particularly cool move is the ease with which Wasp moves from the back of the car to the front, building up momentum to spin through the windows and smash into the car's driver. This is definitely no damsel in distress.
18. Luis Is Going Up In The World
Michael Pena's Luis was one of the most popular characters in the first Ant-Man, and it seems he plays a major role in the sequel. Luis is shown as CEO of a company, one the Pyms go to for help in their battle against the Ghost. It looks as though Scott is working for Luis, meaning the company he runs is presumably the "X-Con" security firm teased in recent set photos. That idea is lifted from a recent comic book run, where Scott started a business called Ant-Man Security Solutions.
17. Pym Travels to the Quantum Realm
Ant-Man introduced the concept of the Quantum Realm, a dimension that could only be entered by shrinking to a subatomic size. This was described as "a reality where all concepts of time and space are irrelevant." Decades ago, Hank Pym's wife, Janet Van Dyne, was lost to the Quantum Realm; Pym had believed this meant she was dead, until Scott Lang proved it was possible to return from this mysterious dimension.
Reinvigorated by this, Pym has clearly devoted all his wealth and technology to exploring the Quantum Realm. He's created a Jack-Kirby-esque vehicle that he uses to safely enter the dimension, vaguely reminiscent of designs used by the Fantastic Four to explore the Negative Zone in the comics. We know Pym's quest will ultimately be successful, and that Janet Van Dyne will somehow return to Earth. But that particular part of the plot remains shrouded in mystery.
16. The Quantum Realm has Changed
Notice that the Quantum Realm looks very different here. It's possible that the effects we saw in the first film were tied to the fact Ant-Man was still shrinking - essentially, he was ing through this dimension, perhaps even on the way to another layer beneath it. In Ant-Man & the Wasp, however, the team are actually exploring the Quantum Realm, so they've presumably learned how to stabilize their shrinking.
Or it might just mean that Marvel fancied switching up the effects a little.
15. Ghost's Origins
The main villain of Ant-Man & the Wasp is a character known as the Ghost. Luis gives the first hint as to the Ghost's MCU origins in the new trailer; she stole Hank Pym's technology, and used it to tap into the power of the Quantum Realm. Somehow, doing so granted her the ability to move out of phase with reality; Ghost can "walk through walls and stuff." The idea is certainly consistent with Doctor Strange, where sorcerers could draw power from other planes of existence, and use it to reshape reality.
As for Ghost's motives? Luis - and the trailer - isn't really interested. "Now she wants to take over the world," he remarks, "or whatever."
14. Ghost Owns Ant-Man
Just how powerful is the Ghost? The trailer indicates she's something of a powerhouse; in one action sequence, Ghost absolutely owns Ant-Man with apparent ease. It looks as though the MCU's version of the Ghost possesses similar powers to Vision. She can turn intangible, but she can also become ultra-dense, and thus gain superhuman strength. That would certainly explain why she can send Scott crashing through a wall.
These skills are the most we really get of Ghost's part in the story, although given she's glimpsed in a couple of beats in Hank Pym's lab, she likely intends to exploit the power of the Quantum Realm in some way.
13. The FBI Surround the Pyms
Given Scott Lang signed a plea bargain, he was presumably forced to tell the US Government just who provided him with advanced tech. That may be why we see Pyms on the run, hunted by the FBI. That would no doubt explain the hints of antagonism between the Pyms and Lang, with both Hank and Hope blaming Scott a little for their time as fugitives.
This scene has been teased quite a lot in marketing and trailers, with the FBI finally catching up with the Pyms. But finding the pair is one thing; actually catching them is another. Ant-Man & the Wasp clearly takes the size-changing stunts to the next level, and Hank Pym is always prepared. This is the guy who carried a tank on his keychain, after all.
