While Black Widow and now Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness having both been delayed due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, there’s at least some positive news for the MCU where it pertains to Ant-Man.

Via The Hollywood Reporter, Marvel Studios and Disney have brought in Rick and Morty’s Jeff Loveness to pen the third outing for Paul Rudd’s Scott Lang and Evangeline Lilly’s Hope Van Dyne.

The addition of Loveness follows a pattern of sorts, with Rick and Morty’s Michael Waldron currently tasked with serving as the head writer on Disney+’s Loki series, and fellow Rick and Morty alum Jessica Gao overseeing the streaming service’s She-Hulk show.

Director Peyton Reed is already on board to return for Ant-Man 3, and we likewise know that Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lilly, Michael Douglas, and Michelle Pfeiffer are returning. It’s yet to be confirmed, but it’s also expected that Emma Fuhrman will be back in the Cassie Lang role she played in Avengers: Endgame.

At this stage, Ant-Man 3 has yet to be given an official release date.
