It’s a big day for small superheroes: The trailer for “Ant-Man and the Wasp,” the sequel to the 2015 "Ant-Man,” just landed.

Once again co-written by its star, Paul Rudd, and directed by Peyton Reed, the Marvel movie promotes Evangeline Lilly as Hope van Dyne (a.k.a. the Wasp) to full crime-fighting partner status. It also gives the Wasp wings and blasters that Ant-Man never received.

Perhaps that’s because the creator of both mini-heroes is Hope’s father, the scientist Hank Pym (Michael Douglas, reprising his role from the first movie). There’s no sign in the trailer of Hope’s mother and the original Wasp, Janet van Dyne (played by onetime Catwoman Michelle Pfeiffer), but we do get a brief glimpse of Laurence Fishburne as Pym’s former assistant, Bill Foster, who becomes the superhero Black Goliath and later Giant-Man in the comic books.

The sequel looks just as irreverent as its predecessor, with a motorcycle-riding villain taken out by a gigantic Hello Kitty Pez dispenser.

Mr. Rudd will soon take his a turn at being the bad guy. Also released today was the trailer for his Netflix sci-fi drama “Mute,” in which he plays the antagonist to Alexander Skarsgard’s silent main character. That film will start streaming on Feb. 23, while “Ant-Man and the Wasp” reaches theaters on July 6.
