After Avengers: Infinity War's successful debut at the box office, Marvel is releasing another trailer for the Paul Rudd/Evangeline Lilly–starring Ant-Man and the Wasp. In this one, viewers get a look at the villain, Ghost.

Last month, it was revealed Ready Player One’s Hannah John-Kamen would be taking on the role. Ghost was also unveiled in the newest poster for Ant-Man and the Wasp. But this is the first time we get to see her in action.

Peyton Reed, director of both Ant-Man films, shared some details about the character in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. "The Ghost character could be male, female, anything, so it just seemed more interesting to us [to cast a woman],” he said. "Ghost’s primary power is the ability to 'phase,' which allows Ghost to move through solid matter. She has all sorts of strange versions of that phasing power—it proves quite difficult for Ant-Man and Wasp to deal with." 

As for the trailer, it comes through with a fitting soundtrack for the buddy superhero film—Rob Base and DJ E-Z Rock's "It Takes Two." It also gives ample time to Laurence Fishburne's character, Bill Foster, who was Black Goliath and later Giant-Man. But while Foster only got up to 21 feet, Paul Rudd's Scott Lang boasts about reaching 65 feet as Giant-Man.
