After all, it seems that every big name actor is lining up for a role in the MCU, and given that Ant-Man was fairly successful, you can bet that Marvel is planning to go big for the sequel.

Michael Pena will reportedly reprise his role as Luis in Ant-Man and the Wasp.
In addition to reporting that Pena will be back for Marvel Studios’ upcoming sequel, The Hollywood Reporter confirmed the film will begin shooting sometime next year.
Pena will return as Luis, Lang’s friend, whose inability to tell a story without delving into totally unnecessary detail was one of the most consistently hilarious and well-executed aspects of a tonally-confused film. As such, it’s no surprise that we’re getting another solo outing for the pint-sized hero, titled Ant-Man And The Wasp.
So far, the sequel’s cast includes Peña, Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lilly, Sharon Stone, and most likely Michael Douglas (provied Marvel gets him a contract). And since she teased it as a “wee part” in the movie, we’re expecting her to show off some shrinking super powers, presumably as Hope Van Dyne, Hank Pym’s wife who is believed to be dead after going subatomic to stop a missile from killing innocent people.
