FEATURING MARVEL’S FIERCE, PINT-SIZED SUPER HEROES
MARVEL STUDIOS
WATCH INSTANTLY ON DIGITAL OCT. 2 AND ADD TO YOUR BLU-RAY™ COLLECTION OCT. 16
Exclusive extras include an up-close look at the making of the film, the tiniest Super Heroes in the world’s biggest film franchise, commentary, deleted scenes and more!
This past Saturday night during our at-home date night, my husband and I cooked a meal in the kitchen and then settled in to watch Marvel Studios Ant-Man and the Wasp, which is now available to own on Digital as of October 2nd, and will be available on Blu-ray, October 16th. We were hoping to see this Marvel movie when it was in theaters, but missed it. It seems like whenever we have a movie we want to see in theaters, someone in the house gets sick, or by the time we have free time to see, the movie is no longer playing in theaters. So, I have a running list of movies we missed in theaters, and are keeping an eye to pick on Blu-Ray or DVD to watch finally. And, this has been top on our list.
If you aren't familiar with this movie, here is more about it, including the official movie trailer...

Scott must once again put on the suit and learn to fight alongside The Wasp, all while attempting to serve house arrest, assist fast talking-Luis (Michael Peña) and the X-con Security crew, and thwart the efforts of a new adversary called Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen) and her ally Bill Foster (Laurence Fishburne).

Doesn't this look like a great movie? I am a fan of Paul Rudd and love seeing him in movies like this, that let him be an action hero, as well as show off his comedic side. My husband and I found ourselves laughing all the way through this movie. Even though this is a sequel to the first Ant-Man movie, you can still enjoy this release if you haven't seen the first. The movie is rated PG-13 and can be watched by older kids, and is less violent than other Marvel movies, but there still are some violent scenes and inappropriate language to watch out for. M
We are used to watching all the serious Marvel movies that are all fighting, but it is nice to have a movie like this come out from the popular Marvel Studios that can have you laughing, while also getting a dose of superhero adventure and thrills.
In addition to a great movie, as you can see in the above movie synopsis, I shared all the great bonus features included with the digital and Blu-Ray versions of this movie. From deleted scenes and a hilarious gag reel, to up-close and making off featurettes, you are in for a fun evening when you sit to watch this movie, and stay to enjoy all the great bonus features. We couldn't stop laughing with the gag reel, and ended up watching it a few times, as it was that good!
If you are looking for a movie to watch for your next at-home date night, or have children 13+ and need a good family-friendly movie, I highly recommend Ant-Man and Wasp. You will not be disappointed.
