The audience score for Ant-Man 3 has hit an all-time low for the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Because it pits Team Ant-Man against Kang the Conqueror, Marvel Studios has high hopes for Ant-Man 3 to be the next significant step in the franchise’s journey through the Multiverse Saga of the MCU. The threequel hasn’t received a warm welcome from fans, despite the fact that the stakes in this film appear bigger than in any other Ant-Man film to yet.
Being the first film in Phase 5, Ant-Man 3 was met with great expectations, and several fans and critics have already expressed disappointment in the manner this new slate was launched.
The situation has become so terrible that the movie initially tied for the lowest Rotten Tomatoes Tomatometer rating in MCU history. However, that rating has subsequently fallen even worse in the days that have followed.

Will Ant-Man 3’s failure be harmed by unfavorable reviews?
Even though Ant-Man 3 is still in the planning phases, the 31st MCU theatrical release has had a difficult start.
The usage of CGI in Ant-Man 3 has drawn a lot of criticism, although it was mostly required given how prominent a role the Quantum Realm plays in the plot. Yet on top of that, some of the plot details in what was supposed to be one of the largest Multiverse Saga films to date have disappointed a lot of people.
Also, the studio recently moved the release date of The Marvels, the final MCU film of the year, from July to November as a result of some significant developments occurring behind the scenes.
About Ant-Man 3, there is already a significant gap between the opinions of critics and fans of the film. Others have voiced more than their fair share of critiques about what was lacking from the most recent threequel, while others have praised it as an exciting addition to the MCU saga.
Marvel is hopeful that this CinemaScore won’t significantly harm the film’s chances for success when audiences continue to provide their feedback on the film over the following weeks.
