May 1 (UPI) -- Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly become a crimefighting duo in the latest trailer for the upcoming Marvel sequel Ant-Man and the Wasp.

The clip, released Monday, features Ant-Man (Rudd) receiving backup from Wasp (Lilly), after a new villain known as Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen), steals technology from original Ant-Man Hank Pym (Michael Douglas).

Ant-Man and Wasp are seen learning how to work together as they take on Ghost who can walk through walls. "She seems more intense," Ant-Man says about his new partner's harder-hitting fighting style.

The trailer also features Ant-Man in his giant form attempting to stop a car full of criminals and Wasp fighting a group of men inside a kitchen where she utilizes a giant salt shaker. Ant-Man's trusted friend Luis (Michael Pena), makes an appearance along with Laurence Fishburne as a former partner of Pym who could also grow in size.

Ant-Man and the Wasp, from returning director Payton Reed, is set to arrive in theaters July 6. Michelle Pfeiffer is also set to star as Janet Van Dyne, the mother to Lilly's Hope van Dyne and wife to Pym who was the original Wasp and who was believed to be dead.
