See blueprints, costumes, and more in The Art of Ant-Man and The Wasp

Review by C.J. Bunce

Ant-Man and the Wasp is the rare superhero movie that appeals to all ages of moviegoers, and for the older generation that loved that classic sci-fi trope from The Incredible Shrinking Man, moviegoers didn’t need to follow the MCU to jump right into this film. Better yet, the characters in Ant-Man and the Wasp have chemistry and heart like no one else on the big screen from Marvel, a solid sequel to Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lilly, and Michael Douglas’s first foray into the quantum realm of the MCU as Scott Lang, Hope Van Dyne, and Dr. Hank Pym. But it’s that relook at The Incredible Shrinking Man that makes the movie rise above the others in the MCU with its incredible sci-fi technology. You’ll get to see it all close up with an unprecedented look at Marvel blueprints for key set pieces in The Art of Marvel Studio‘s Ant-Man and The Wasp, available for pre-order now here at Amazon and coming to bookstores next month. How did director Peyton Reed take on his first sequel? Take a look inside of the latest book going behind the scenes in the Infinity Saga:

The Art of Marvel Studio‘s Ant-Man and The Wasp is the eighteenth of 24 books in its re-sized, re-issued MCU library coming from Titan Books. A great feature of the series is how each book takes a unique look at its subject film. In this case, it’s a split between the costumes (including the all-new supersuit for the Wasp, as well as the new MCU character Ghost) and the amazing, giant set pieces, especially the Pym Technologies portable lab, the quantum array, and the quantum tunnel.

Writer Eleni Roussos made this book primarily about the concept artwork, revealed in two-page spreads, visual effects renderings, and other concept designs. All artists are credited with their contributions. Roussos also tapped for input President of Marvel Studios and Executive Producer Kevin Feige, Director Peyton Reed, Producer Stephen Broussard, Visual Development Supervisor Andy Park, and other production leads and staff.

Readers will get a feel for just how extensive each costume was studied, designed, and re-designed via artwork by costume designer Louise Frogley and then as visualized by her team and the visual effects department. This movie introduced Michelle Pfeiffer’s look for the MCU, but you’ll also find images of Hank’s quantum suit. You’ll also see how the team whittled the concepts down to result in that unique helmet and suit for Hannah John-Kamen’s Ghost suit.

The design of the book itself mimics Dr. Pym’s field journal, complete with colored edge tabs highlighting the story’s three acts, plus the lead characters, and an extensive dive into the major set pieces.

If you loved the first Ant-Man and director Peyton Reed’s vision of the world’s tiniest superhero, this is for you. It’s a must for fans of classic sci-fi and fans of the film that want to see close-up details of the spectacle on the big screen. Don’t miss the 18th entry in the new re-issued, re-formatted Marvel movie library. The Art of Marvel’s Ant-Man and The Wasp will be in stores July 7, 2026, from Titan Books and it’s available for pre-order now here at Amazon.
