Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania

Editors - Laura Jennings and Adam Gerstel Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania editors Laura Jennings and Adam Gerstel jumped in with both feet when director Peyton Reed suggested that he wanted to have a "unified" cutting room unlike any Marvel movie that had come before.  The result?  A director's cut driven by two editors, one Avid, a pair of dueling Bluetooth keyboards, and no regrets! In Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania, which officially kicks off phase 5 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Super-Hero partners Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) and Hope Van Dyne (Evangeline Lilly) return to continue their adventures as Ant-Man and The Wasp. Together, with Hope’s parents Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) and Janet Van Dyne (Michelle Pfeiffer), the family finds themselves exploring the Quantum Realm, interacting with strange new creatures and embarking on an adventure that will push them beyond the limits of what they thought was possible. Jonathan Majors joins the adventure as Kang. LAURA JENNINGS Although she's joining the Marvel family for the first time, Laura is no amateur when it comes to VFX heavy features, having previously edited films such as MALEFICENT: MISTRESS OF EVIL and EDGE OF TOMORROW (aka LIVE DIE REPEAT). ADAM GERSTEL Although this is also Adam's first tour of duty in the MCU, he's no stranger to the "StageCraft" virtual set technology used in this movie.  Adam worked with similar models when cutting THE LION KING and THE MANDALORIAN: SEASON TWO.
