Ant-Man's hiatus from the Marvel Universe

After Ant-Man’s participation in "Captain America: Civil War," Scott Lang takes a break for some soul searching to balance the unbelievable superhero life with the grounded family life.

Ant-Man must also learn to work as a team with the Wasp, added to a healthy amount of witty dialogue between the two, and there are plenty of action-packed laughs to go around.

To counter the crime-fighting duo, Marvel will introduce a brand new villain to the MCU, Ghost -- played by Hannah John Kamen. The Ghost initially appears in the Iron Man comics but pops up in "Ant-Man and the Wasp" as a teched out villain to add an element of danger to our diminutive protagonists and their crime-fighting mission.

We will certainly find out when "Ant-Man and the Wasp" hits theaters on July 6.
