The MCU film releases in theatres on February 17
The trailer of Marvel’s much-anticipated film Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, which kicks-off the Phase 5 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, was released by the studio earlier today.
The new trailer shows Scott Lang (Paul Rudd), along with Hope’s parents Janet van Dyne (Michelle Pfeiffer) and Hank Pym (Michael Douglas), exploring the Quantum Realm. Scott then strikes a deal with Kang (Jonathan Majors), who was introduced in the first season of Loki, to get back the time he lost during the blip after Avengers: Endgame. We see that Scott has lost quite a lot in those years: his daughter Cassie Lang has grown into a troublesome teenager.
However, as the trailer hints, as Scott goes ahead with the deal, crazy things happen in the multi-verse. At one point, we see multiple Ant-Mans colliding from multiple universes. Eventually, Kang betrays Scott and we see the beginning of a new dynasty. The storyline from here on will lead to Avengers: The Kang Dynasty movie in 2025. With many more titles yet to come, fans can expect a lot of twists and turns in this Multiverse saga of MCU
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is the last of a trilogy of Ant-Man films directed by Peyton Reed. The film also stars Evangeline Lilly, Michael Douglas, Michelle Pfeiffer, David Dastmalchian, Katy O’Brian, William Jackson Harper, Bill Murray, and Kathryn Newton
The Marvel film hits theatres on February 17.

A vacuum cleaner haunted by a ghost is the kind of one-liner which can draw in a festival audience looking for a little light-hearted fun to fill the time slots available between the “heavier” films which require much closer attention. A useful ghost, the debut feature of Thai filmmaker Ratchapoom Boonbunchachoke being screened in the world cinema category at the 30th International Film Festival of Kerala (IFFK), even appears so in the initial hour. Until, the film becomes something more, with strong undercurrents of Thailand’s contemporary political history.

Sustainability is not an add-on, but stamped firmly into the process: every piece is biodegradable, waste-free and unembellished, free from glitter or beads. “Products should be sustainable and biodegradable so that our planet is not harmed,” says Anu Elizabeth Alexander, a student of Sishya, Adyar. At a recent exhibition, the stars she made sold the fastest, followed by the small diamonds. “I would like people to know about the process, how it is created, and that it is sustainable,” says Anu. Infanta Leon from Kotturpuram developed an interest in crochet as a teenager. It was a hobbyhorse that evolved into a steed that would help her embark on a journey of identity-shaping creative engagement. She started making Christmas-themed decor two years ago, spurred by a desire to craft safe, eco-friendly toys for children. “With a toddler at home, and my elder child sensitive to synthetic materials, I wanted to create items that were gentle, durable and tactile,” she explains. Her earliest creations were small amigurumi toys which gradually evolved into ornaments that could adorn Christmas trees with warmth and charm.
