As he struggles to rebalance his home life with his responsibilities as Ant-Man, he’s confronted by Hope Van Dyne/The Wasp (Evangeline Lilly) and Dr. Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) with an urgent new mission. Scott must once again put on the Ant-Man suit and learn to fight alongside The Wasp as the team works together to uncover secrets from their past.

“Won’t You Be My Neighbor?” - Academy Award-winning filmmaker Morgan Neville (“20 Feet from Stardom”), takes an intimate look at America's favorite neighbor: Mister Fred Rogers.

This is the film we need right now … how Mister Rogers taught us to realize the potential of all children, and, to once again hear his words: "kindness can make a world of difference."
The film (94 minutes), rated PG13, plays Friday, July 20 through Wednesday, July 25 at 7 p.m. Matinees at 2 p.m. added on Sunday, July 22 and 26.
