Back in June 2014, it was rumored that Marvel’s high-tech hero Ant-Man would square off against a similarly geared-up villain in the upcoming Ant-Man movie. The latter character’s presence (and costume) has now been confirmed, thanks to a promotional banner for an upcoming line of licensed Ant-Man products.

The banner was revealed by licensor Aykroyd & Sons (and discovered by ComicBookMovie.com), and features illustrated depictions of both Ant-Man and his nemesis — believed to be called “Yellowjacket” — suited up for their upcoming big-screen adventure. As the reports from earlier this year suggested, Yellowjacket’s suit features some insect-inspired extra appendages and a yellow-and-black color scheme.

The banner depicts Ant-Man’s suit in much the same design as we’ve seen in earlier images, official and otherwise.

Directed by Peyton Reed, Ant-Man stars Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lilly, Corey Stoll, and Michael Douglas. The film will introduce the popular size-changing hero, Scott Lang (Rudd), to Marvel’s cinematic universe in an adventure that has him teaming up with scientist Hank Pym (Douglas) to pull off a heist to save the world.

Ant-Man hits theaters July 17, 2015, and serves as the final chapter in “Phase Two” of Marvel’s cinematic timeline.

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania’s ending explained

Ant-Man and the Wasp prepare for battle in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania features the return of everyone's favorite small-sized hero. Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly reprise the titular roles, joined by an all-star cast that includes the returning Michael Douglas and Michelle Pfeiffer, plus the long-awaited quasi-debuts of Kathryn Newton as Cassie Lang and Jonathan Majors as Kang, the Conqueror.

The film features the Lang/Pym-Van Dyne clan on an unexpected and dangerous adventure to the Quantum Realm. While far from Marvel's best effort, Quantumania benefits greatly from top-notch performances by Pfeiffer and Majors and Rudd's seemingly inexhaustible charm. Its somewhat uneven plot offers plenty of visual thrills and silly humor, leading to the traditional MCU finale, an all-out war between the good guys and Kang. As per Marvel tradition, multiple battles are happening, but we have all the crucial details ready.
