It seems as though Rick and Morty writer and co-producer Jeff Loveness might be behind the script of Ant-Man 3.

According to The Hollywood Reporter Loveness, who’s best known for his work on shows like Ricky and Morty and Jimmy Kimmel Live, has already begun penning the latest script for the Ant-Man sequel.

While Loveness is best known for his comedy writing, he’s not new to the Marvel Universe, having been behind comics featuring characters such as Spider-Man, Groot, and even Captain America.

News of Ant-Man 3 first came from actor Michael Douglas revealed he’d be reprising his role as Dr. Hank Pym when filming is set to commence in 2021.

Star Paul Rudd and director Peyton Reed are also both expected to return to work on the third installment, despite Rudd’s initial concerns that there may not be an Ant-Man 3 without fan help.

News that work is progressing on Ant-Man 3 is welcome in light of Disney’s latest round of release date changes. Black Widow is being pushed to November 2020, causing a chain reaction of delays across Marvel’s Phase 4 lineup.
