"I just started reading them, and I’m having a really hard time,” Pfeiffer told Variety . "There’s so much information on a page, and it’s not linear. When I’m skim-reading them it’s difficult to know that this part comes after that and who is talking in what bubble."Pfeiffer will star in the Ant-Man sequel as Janet van Dyne, the mother of Hope van Dyne (Evangeline Lilly) and wife of Hank Pym (Michael Douglas). Her role as the original Wasp is the actress' first superhero part since she played Catwoman in Batman Returns.Speaking on why she took the role, Pfeiffer said she enjoyed the first Ant-Man film's "great sense of humor" and "unusual tone." She went on to say the sequel's script "has the same thing" and is "nicely written."Ant-Man and the Wasp is directed by Peyton Reed and, in addition to Pfeiffer, Lilly, and Douglas, stars Paul Rudd, Laurence Fishburne, Hannah John-Kamen, and Walton Goggins. The sequel is scheduled to hit theaters on July 6, 2018.For more on the MCU film, here's everything you need to know about Ant-Man and the Wasp's villain, Ghost
