Marvel hasn’t had a real failure yet despite making films from properties many people couldn’t work on screen. That’s certainly true of Ant-Man, especially after director Edgar Wright left it behind, as many thought he was the only one who could turn it into something worthwhile.

Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly are both set to return for the film, and it’s expected many of the other actors from the first movie will be back too.

Dad’s Army is arguably the most successful British sitcom ever, still regularly shown during primetime even though it started in 1968 and the final original episode went out in 1978.
