Ant-Man and the Wasp is a 2018 American superhero film based on Marvel

Comics featuring the characters Scott Lang / Ant-Man and Hope Pym / Wasp. Produced
by Marvel Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, it is the
sequel to Ant-Man (2015) and the 20th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
The film is directed by Peyton Reed and written by the writing teams of Chris
McKenna and Erik Sommers, and Paul Rudd, Andrew Barrer and Gabriel Ferrari. It
stars Rudd as Lang and Evangeline Lilly as Hope van Dyne, alongside Michael
Peña, Walton Goggins, Bobby Cannavale, Judy Greer, Tip "T.I." Harris, David
Dastmalchian, Hannah John-Kamen, Abby Ryder Fortson, Randall Park, Michelle
Pfeiffer, Laurence Fishburne, and Michael Douglas. In Ant-Man and the Wasp, the
titular pair work with Hank Pym (Douglas) to retrieve Janet van Dyne (Pfeiffer) from
the Quantum Realm.
Talks for a sequel to Ant-Man began shortly after that film was released. Ant-Man and
the Wasp was officially announced in October 2015, with Rudd and Lilly returning to
reprise their roles. A month later, Ant-Man director Reed was officially set to return. He
had joined the first film later in the process and was excited to develop this one from the
beginning. He also looked forward to introducing Hope van Dyne as the Wasp in this
film, and insisted on treating Lang and her as equals. Filming took place from August to
November 2017, at Pinewood Atlanta Studios in Fayette County, Georgia, as well
as Metro Atlanta, San Francisco, Savannah, Georgia, and Hawaii.
Ant-Man and the Wasp had its world premiere in Hollywood on June 25, 2018, and was
released in the United States on July 6, 2018, as part of Phase Three of the MCU. The
film was a critical and commercial success, receiving praise for its levity, humor, and
performances, particularly those of Rudd and Lilly, and grossed over $622 million
worldwide. A sequel, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, is scheduled for release in
February 2023.

Plot[edit]
Two years after Scott Lang was placed under house arrest due to his involvement with
the Avengers, in violation of the Sokovia Accords,[N 1] Hank Pym and his daughter Hope
van Dyne briefly manage to open a tunnel to the Quantum Realm. They believe Pym's
wife Janet van Dyne might be trapped there after shrinking to sub-atomic levels in 1987.
When he had previously visited the quantum realm, Lang had unknowingly
become quantumly entangled with Janet, and now he receives an apparent message
from her.
With only days left of house arrest, Lang contacts Pym about Janet, despite the strained
relationship they have because of Lang's actions with the Avengers. Hope and Pym
kidnap Lang, leaving a large ant with Lang's ankle-monitor on as a decoy so as not to
arouse the suspicions of FBI agent Jimmy Woo. Believing the message from Janet is
confirmation that she is alive, the trio work to build a stable quantum tunnel so they can
take a vehicle to the quantum realm and retrieve her. They arrange to buy a part
needed for the tunnel from black-market dealer Sonny Burch, but Burch realizes the
potential profit to be made from Pym's research and double-crosses them. Donning the
Wasp outfit, Hope fights off Burch and his men until she is attacked by a quantumly
unstable masked woman. Lang tries to help fight off this "ghost", but the woman
escapes with Pym's lab, which has been shrunk down to the size of a suitcase.
Pym reluctantly takes Hope and Lang to visit his estranged former partner Bill Foster,
who gives them a way to locate the lab. After they find it, the ghost captures the trio and
reveals herself to be Ava Starr. Her father, Elihas, was another of Pym's former partners
who died along with his wife during an experiment that caused her unstable state.
Foster enters and reveals that Ava is dying and in constant pain as a result of her
condition. They plan to cure her using Janet's quantum energy. Believing that this will
kill Janet, Pym refuses to help them and escapes with Hope, Lang, and the lab.
Opening a stable version of the tunnel, Pym, Hope, and Lang are able to contact Janet,
who gives them a precise location to find her but warns that they only have two hours
before the unstable nature of the realm separates them for a century. Using a truth
serum, Burch learns the trio's location from Lang's business partners Luis, Dave,
and Kurt, and informs a contact at the FBI. Luis warns Lang, who rushes home before
Woo can see that he is violating his house arrest. Pym and Hope are arrested by the
FBI, allowing Ava to take the lab.
Lang is soon able to help Pym and Hope escape custody, and they find the lab. Lang
and Hope distract Ava while Pym enters the quantum realm to retrieve Janet, whom he
finds alive. Meanwhile, Lang and Hope are confronted by Burch and his men, and
following a lengthy chase, Ava regains control of the lab, allowing her to begin taking
Janet's energy by force. Luis, Dave, and Kurt incapacitate Burch and his men so that
Lang and Hope can stop Ava. Pym and Janet return safely from the quantum realm,
and Janet voluntarily gives some of her energy to Ava to temporarily stabilize her.
Lang returns home once again, in time for a now-suspicious Woo to release him at the
end of his house arrest. Ava and Foster go into hiding. In a mid-credits scene, Pym,
Lang, Hope, and Janet plan to harvest quantum energy to help Ava remain stable.
While Lang is in the quantum realm doing this, the other three turn to dust. [N 2]

Cast[edit]
 Paul Rudd as Scott Lang / Ant-Man:
A former petty criminal who acquired a suit that
allows him to shrink or grow in scale while also
increasing in strength.[8] Following the events
of Captain America: Civil War (2016), in which Lang
escapes from the Raft prison, director Peyton
Reed said that "he's a fugitive in most of the
first Ant-Man (2015) movie. He's just a bigger
fugitive now."[9] Rudd was interested in Lang being a
regular person rather than "innately heroic or super",
and to be driven by his desire to be a responsible
parent.[10]
 Evangeline Lilly as Hope van Dyne / Wasp:
The daughter of Hank Pym and Janet van Dyne who
is handed down a similar suit and the Wasp mantle
from her mother.[8] The writers were excited to be
able to give the character a proper introduction as
the Wasp, showing her "power set, how she fights,
and what are the injustices that matter to her". [11] Lilly
felt the character receives "incredible satisfaction"
from becoming the Wasp, "something that she has
been waiting for her whole life, which is essentially
an affirmation from her father."[12] Her relationship
with Lang is more complicated than in the first film,
and includes anger towards his actions
during Captain America: Civil War.[13] Lilly felt it was
important that Hope "be an extremely empathetic
and compassionate person" and that she should
"always push for feminine qualities to be apparent
 when she is dealing with situations." In her fight
sequences, Lilly wanted to move away from the
more masculine Muay Thai and MMA-style of
fighting that she had learned for the first film, noting
that Hope moves differently from a man, so her
fights should have "elegance, grace and femininity"
with "a signature style" young girls could enjoy and
emulate. Lilly worked with the writers to help ensure
that Hope was able to "represent a modern woman"
without becoming the stereotype of a motherly
figure.[14] Madeleine McGraw portrays a young Hope
van Dyne.[15]
 Michael Peña as Luis:
Lang's former cellmate and a member of his X-Con
Security crew.[16][13] There was less opportunity for
Peña to improvise compared to the first film, where
he and Rudd were still developing the character
during filming.[17] The creative team wanted to feature
another scene of Luis "riffing a long story" as he did
in the first film, but did not want to repeat
themselves; they were able to take a different
approach by giving the character truth serum in a
scene for this film.[18]
 Walton Goggins as Sonny Burch: A "low-level
criminal-type" who wants Pym's technology to sell on
the black market.[19]
 Bobby Cannavale as Jim Paxton: A police officer,
married to Lang's ex-wife, Maggie.[20][13]
 Judy Greer as Maggie: Lang's ex-wife.[21]
 Tip "T.I." Harris as Dave: A member of Lang's X-Con
Security crew.[22][13]
 David Dastmalchian as Kurt: A member of Lang's X-
Con Security crew.[23][13]
 Hannah John-Kamen as Ava Starr / Ghost:
A woman with molecular instability, who can phase
through objects;[19][24] she is only considered a "villain"
because her attempts at survival clash with the
heroes' goals.[13] The character is traditionally
portrayed as male in the comics, but the creative
team believed that the character's gender was
irrelevant, and felt that casting a woman would be
more interesting.[19] It also allowed them to continue
the fathers-and-daughters theme that embraced
other characters in the film.[18] John-Kamen enjoyed
the "blank-slate" situation, which allowed her to
make the character her own.[25] Producer Stephen
 Broussard said that they wanted to cast a lesser-
known actress to help maintain the mystery of the
character, and John-Kamen "blew us away".
[13]
 RaeLynn Bratten portrays a young Ava Starr.[15]
 Abby Ryder Fortson as Cassie: The daughter of
Lang and Maggie.[20]
 Randall Park as Jimmy Woo: An FBI agent and
Lang's parole officer.[26][27][13]
 Michelle Pfeiffer as Janet van Dyne:
Pym's wife, Hope's mother, and the original Wasp,
who is lost in the Quantum Realm.[26] Pfeiffer was
Reed's dream casting for the role when he was
working on the first film and he ensured that he
received her input on the character. He noted that
the character has spent 30 years in the quantum
realm, so there is a question regarding how that has
affected her.[28] Producer Kevin Feige explained that
the character ages over those 30 years, even
though time works differently in the quantum realm,
to avoid any "sci-fi weirdness" that could take away
from the emotional reunions with Pym and Hope in
the film.[29] Michelle Pfeiffer was de-aged to portray
young Janet van Dyne, with Hayley Lovitt acting as
a reference double.[30] Lovitt portrayed Janet in the
first film, before Pfeiffer became involved with the
franchise. Reed explained that Lovitt had been cast
for the first film because of her "saucer-like, Michelle
Pfeiffer eyes."[28]
 Laurence Fishburne as Bill Foster:
An old friend of Pym, who was once his assistant on
Project Goliath.[24] Fishburne approached Marvel
about joining the MCU, pitching them a few ideas
about whom he could portray, before Marvel offered
him the role of Foster in this film.[31] Fishburne had
already played Perry White for the DC Extended
Universe, but he said that he had always fantasized
about being in an MCU film, admitting that he
considers himself a "Marvel guy".[32] Reed likened the
rivalry between Foster and Pym to that of Steve
Jobs and Bill Gates,[33] and wanted an actor who
could go "toe-to-toe" with Michael Douglas.
[28]
 Laurence Fishburne was de-aged to portray young
Bill Foster, with Langston Fishburne, Laurence's
son, acting as a reference double.[30]
 Michael Douglas as Hank Pym:
An entomologist, physicist, and
 former S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, who became the original
Ant-Man after discovering the subatomic particles
that make the transformation possible.[34] Pym has
grown a lot closer to his daughter Hope since the
first film, and according to Feige, he has "that joy of
fatherhood" in watching her become a superhero in
her own right. Reed was attracted to the "morally
dubious" decisions Pym sometimes makes.
[13]
 Douglas was de-aged to portray young Hank Pym,
with Dax Griffin acting as a reference double, having
done so for the first film as well.[30]
Additionally, Stan Lee, co-creator of the titular heroes, has a cameo in the film as a man
whose car is shrunk by accident.[35] Michael Cerveris appears as Ava's father Elihas
Starr, while Riann Steele plays his wife and Ava's mother Catherine. [13] Tim
Heidecker and Brian Huskey appear in cameos as a whale boat captain named Daniel
Gooobler and a teacher at Cassie's school, respectively. [15][13] Sonny Burch's team of men
includes Divian Ladwa as Uzman, Goran Kostić as Anitolov, and Rob Archer as Knox,
while Sean Kleier portrays Stoltz, Burch's FBI inside man and Jimmy Woo's
subordinate.[13] Tom Scharpling and Jon Wurster of The Best Show make brief
appearances as Burch's SUV drivers.[36]

Production[edit]
Development[edit]
It's such a no-brainer that there needs to be female heroes ... In the '60s comics, the Janet van Dyne Wasp was clearly written by
all men and was pretty one-dimensional. She's gotten much more dimensionalized since then. That's one of those things that I
think is going to be really exciting [in this film].
 —Director Peyton Reed on the Wasp's inclusion in the film[37]

In June 2015, Ant-Man director Peyton Reed expressed interest in returning for a

sequel or prequel to that film, saying that he had "really fallen in love with these
characters" and felt "there's a lot of story to tell with Hank Pym".[38] A month later, Pym
actor Michael Douglas said he was not signed for any additional films, but "would look
forward to more if it comes my way",[39] and expressed the desire to have his
wife Catherine Zeta-Jones cast as Janet van Dyne for a potential follow-up.
[40]
 Evangeline Lilly—who played the daughter of Pym and Van Dyne, Hope van Dyne—
wanted to see Michelle Pfeiffer in the role.[41] Producer Kevin Feige revealed that the
studio had a "supercool idea" for the next Ant-Man film, and "if audiences want it, we'll
find a place to do it."[42] Reed also mentioned that there had been talks of making a
standalone adventure with Hank Pym as Ant-Man, possibly including the original
opening to Ant-Man featuring Jordi Mollà which was cut from the final film. Eric
Eisenberg of Cinema Blend opined that a standalone adventure with Pym and the cut
sequence would be a good candidate to revive the Marvel One-Shots short film series.
[43]
 By the end of July, David Dastmalchian expressed interest in returning for a sequel as
Kurt.[44]
In October 2015, Marvel Studios confirmed the sequel, titled Ant-Man and the Wasp,
with a scheduled release date of July 6, 2018. [45] Reed was in negotiations to direct the
sequel by the end of the month,[46] and announced his return in November, along with the
confirmation of Paul Rudd and Lilly returning as Scott Lang / Ant-Man and Hope van
Dyne / Wasp, respectively.[8] Despite being offered the chance to direct sequels in the
past, Reed had never done so out of a lack of interest, but was excited to work on Ant-
Man and the Wasp because there was "a lot more story to tell with these characters that
I have a genuine affection and kind of protective feeling about". [47] He was also able to
build the sequel "from the ground up", as he joined the first film late in the process
following the departure of original writer and director Edgar Wright, and wanted to
explore elements that he had set up in the first film. [48] He first began work on an outline
for the sequel,[49] which he thought could be "weird, unique and different" now that the
characters' origins had been established.[48] On being the first MCU film to have a female
character in the title with the Wasp, Reed called it "organic" and noted the Wasp's final
line in Ant-Man—'It's about damn time'—as "very much about her specific character and
arc in that movie, but it is absolutely about a larger thing. It's about damn time: We’re
going to have a fully realized, very very complicated hero in the next movie who
happens to be a woman."[48] Reed would push to ensure the Wasp received equal
publicity and merchandise for the film, and wanted to explore the backstory of Janet van
Dyne as well. He had "definite ideas" of who should portray that character. [37] Reed said
the alternate title Wasp and the Ant-Man was briefly considered, but was not chosen
due to fan expectation given the comics history of the phrase "Ant-Man and the Wasp".
[50]
 That month, Adam McKay, one of the writers of Ant-Man, expressed interest in
returning to write the film,[51] and Douglas confirmed that he was in talks to return as well.
[8]

Director Peyton Reed was excited to develop the sequel from "the ground up" after joining the first Ant-Man late
in the process.

Reed stated in early December that the film may "call back" to the heist film genre and
tone of Ant-Man, but that Ant-Man and the Wasp would "have an entirely different genre
template". He hoped to incorporate additional flashback sequences in the film, as well
as explore Pym's various identities from the comics and his psychology. Reed also said
he was "excited" about exploring and discovering the film version of the Ant-Man and
Wasp relationship that is "a romantic partnership and a heroic partnership" in the
comics, a "different dynamic than we've seen in the rest of the [MCU], an actual
partnership." Additionally, Reed mentioned that pre-production would "probably" start in
October 2016, with filming scheduled for early 2017. [52] Production writers for the first
film, Gabriel Ferrari and Andrew Barrer, signed on to write the script along with Rudd,
[53]
 with writing starting "in earnest" in January 2016. [52] The next month, McKay stated that
he would be involved with the film in some capacity. [54] By April, the four writers and
Reed had been "holed up in a room ... brainstorming the story", with Reed promising
that it would have "stuff in it that you've never ever seen in a movie before". [55] Feige
added that they wanted to "stay true to what made [Ant-Man] so unique and different",
and teased the potential of seeing the Giant-Man version of Lang that had been
introduced in Captain America: Civil War (2016).[56] Despite being "intimately involved in
the writing and the development of the script", Reed did not take or receive a writing
credit on the film.[47]
In June 2016, Reed said that for inspiration from the comics he had been looking at
"early Avengers stuff and all the way up to the Nick Spencer stuff now", and was
focusing on iconic images that could be replicated in the film over story beats from the
comics. He added that there was "definitely a chance" for Michael Peña, Tip "T.I."
Harris, and Dastmalchian to reprise their respective roles as Luis, Dave, and Kurt from
the first film.[9] At San Diego Comic-Con 2016, Feige stated that Reed and Rudd were
still working on the script,[57] and that filming was now expected to begin in June 2017. [57]
[58]
 Rudd elaborated that they had "turned in a treatment, but it's so preliminary. We'll
see. We have an idea of what it might look like, but it could change a lot from where
we're at now."[59] The next month, Peña was confirmed to be returning as Luis, [16] while
filming was revealed to be taking place in Atlanta, Georgia. [60] In early October, an initial
script had been completed for the film that was awaiting approval from Marvel. [61] Reed
later revealed that early drafts of the script included a cameo appearance from Captain
America, appearing during Luis' flashback sequences as he was recapping Lang's
involvement in the airport battle in Captain America: Civil War. However, the writers
chose to remove the appearance in the final script since the events of Civil War were
already referenced frequently in the film, and this instance "didn’t feel organic to the
story."[62]
Pre-production[edit]
At the start of November 2016, Reed said that the film's production would transition from
"the writing phase" to "official prep" that month, beginning with visual development.
Reed reiterated his excitement for introducing the Wasp and "really designing her look,
the way she moves, the power set, and figuring out, sort of, who Hope van Dyne is as a
hero".[63] Reed was inspired by the films After Hours (1985), Midnight Run (1988),
and What's Up, Doc? (1972) for the look and feel of Ant-Man and the Wasp.[64] While the
first film was more of a heist film, Reed described this as part action film, part romantic
comedy, and was inspired by the works of Elmore Leonard where there are "villains, but
we also have antagonists, and we have these roadblocks to our heroes getting to where
they need to be".[33] He also stated his disappointment in the Giant-Man introduction
happening in Civil War, rather than an Ant-Man film,[63] but noted that the appearance
provided character development opportunities between Lang, Pym, and Van Dyne since
Pym is "very clear in the first movie about how he feels about Stark and how he feels
about the Avengers and being very protective of this technology that he has", [33] and so
Reed thought Pym would be "pissed" and Van Dyne would feel betrayed, which was
Reed's "in" for those characters' starting dynamics.[18] Reed added that he spends "a lot
of time" talking with the other writers and directors of MCU films, and that he and the
writers on this film wished to maintain "our little Ant-Man corner of the universe.
Because it's a whole different vibe tonally".[63] Quantum physicist Spyridon Michalakis
from the Institute for Quantum Information and Matter at the California Institute of
Technology returned to consult on the film, after doing the same on Ant-Man, and
explained the science behind getting extremely small to the filmmakers. Michalakis
described the subatomic realm as "a place of infinite possibility, an alternative universe
where the laws of physics and forces of nature as we know them haven’t crystallized"
and suggested it should be represented in the film by "beautiful colors changing
constantly to reflect transience."[65]
In February 2017, Douglas confirmed that he would reprise his role as Hank Pym in the
film.[34] During the Hollywood premiere of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 in April,
Dastmalchian confirmed his return as Kurt,[23] and a month later, Harris confirmed his
return as Dave as well.[22] Through that May, Marvel was meeting with several actresses
for a "key role" in the sequel, with Hannah John-Kamen cast in the part at the beginning
of June.[66] The following month, Randall Park joined the cast as Jimmy Woo,
[27]
 and Walton Goggins was cast in an undisclosed role.[67] At San Diego Comic-Con
2017, Park's casting was confirmed; John-Kamen and Goggins' roles were revealed to
be Ghost and Sonny Burch, respectively; and the casting of Pfeiffer as Janet van Dyne
and Laurence Fishburne as Bill Foster was announced.[26] Judy Greer was confirmed to
be reprising her role as Maggie from the previous film the following week. [21] Louise
Frogley served as costume designer on the film after doing so for Marvel's Spider-Man:
Homecoming (2017), and worked with Ivo Coveney to create the superhero suits for the
film. Based on designs by Andy Park, the suits are updated for the film from the 1960s-
inspired designs used in the first Ant-Man to more modern designs. The Wasp suit
included practical wings which were replaced with digital wings for when they are
expanded and ready for flight.[13]
The Russo brothers, directors of Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, which
were filming while Ant-Man and the Wasp was preparing to film, were in constant
discussion with Reed in order to ensure story elements would line up between the films.
Joe Russo added that Ant-Man and the Wasp would have "some [plot] elements that
stitch in" closely with Avengers: Infinity War, more so than some of the other films
leading up to the Avengers films.[68] Reed knew Ant-Man and the Wasp would be "a fairly
stand-alone movie but... could not ignore the events of Infinity War", with the biggest
connection occurring in the film's mid-credit scene. Since the events of Ant-Man and the
Wasp occur over 48 hours, the timeline in relation to Infinity War was "left purposefully
ambiguous" with Reed noting there had been discussions of placing "little Easter eggs
along the way, to start to reveal to the audience where the movie takes place in the
timeline, [but t]hat felt not very fun to us and kind of obvious." Reed also liked how the
film ends with closure and on a positive note "and then to BANG — give the audience a
gut punch right after the main credits",[69] with the sequence showing Hank Pym, Janet
van Dyne, and Hope van Dyne disintegrating due to the Blip featured at the end
of Avengers: Infinity War. The film also has a post-credit scene that shows the ant who
doubled for Lang while under house arrest performing a drum solo. [6]
Filming[edit]

Additional filming took place in San Francisco, the setting of the film, including for an action sequence
on Lombard Street (pictured).

Principal photography began on August 1, 2017,[20] at Pinewood Atlanta

Studios in Fayette County, Georgia,[60][70] under the working title Cherry Blue;[71] Dante
Spinotti served as director of photography,[20] shooting on Arri Alexa 65 cameras, with
some sequences being shot with a Frazier lens.[30] At the start of filming, Marvel revealed
that Bobby Cannavale and Abby Ryder Fortson would also reprise their roles from the
first film, respectively as Paxton and Cassie, and that Chris McKenna and Erik
Sommers had contributed to the screenplay.[20]
The film's lab and quantum tunnel set was inspired by The Time Tunnel (1966–67), and
was the largest physical set built for an MCU film, which Reed jokingly said was "a little
counter-intuitive".[18] For the sequence where Janet van Dyne communicates through
Lang, inspiration was taken from All of Me (1984) in which Lily Tomlin's character is
trapped in the body of Steve Martin's character. There were discussions about having
Pfeiffer perform the scene first to give Rudd an idea of how she would act, but the group
ultimately decided to let Rudd invent the scene completely himself. [18][47] For the chamber
in Ghost's lair, the production team under production designer Shepherd Frankel
wanted to create an environment that was unique to the MCU, and designed the
chamber with fresnel lenses to give it concentric-circle patterns that served a practical
purpose for the film's story as well as differentiating the aesthetics of it from other sets
and creating mystery about the character. The chamber is surrounded by "support
shapes" to "create this feeling of desperation and yearning for family and stability". [13]
Filming also took place in Metro Atlanta, with filming locations including the Atlanta
International School, the Midtown and Buckhead districts of Atlanta, and the Samuel M.
Inman Middle School in the city's Virginia-Highland neighborhood; as well as Emory
University and the Atlanta Motor Speedway in Hampton, Georgia.[72] Additional filming
took place in San Francisco in September 2017,[73] in Savannah, Georgia in late October,
[74]
 and in Hawaii.[75] Production wrapped on November 19, 2017.[76]
Post-production[edit]
In late November, Lilly said that the characters would try to enter the Quantum Realm in
the film, and their potential success would "open a whole entire new multi-verse to enter
into and play around in" for the MCU.[77] The film includes a clip from Animal
House (1978), which Reed was reminded of while discussing the quantum realm
science for the film. Reed insisted that the film be shorter than two hours since it would
be following the "massive epic" Infinity War and because it is "an action/comedy, and it
didn't want to overstay its welcome".[18] Dan Lebental and Craig Wood edited the film.
[13]
 The film's main credits sequence is a "table-top" version of its action sequences,
[18]
 and was created by Elastic.[78] An alternative idea that had been considered was to
create a "fake behind-the-scenes documentary" that would have made the film look like
it was a 1950s-era Godzilla movie with "people in suits stomping on model cityscapes".
[18]

Visual effects[edit]

Michelle Pfeiffer was digitally de-aged in Ant-Man and the Wasp (top) to appear as she did circa 1985 (bottom).
[30]

Visual effects for the film were created by DNEG, Scanline VFX, Method Studios, Luma
Pictures, Lola VFX, Industrial Light & Magic,[30] Cinesite, Rise FX, Rodeo FX, Crafty
Apes, Perception NYC, Digital Domain, and The Third Floor.[79]
DNEG worked on over 500 shots, including the effects for Ghost—which were shared
with the other vendors—the third act chase sequence, and the final Ghost fight as Hank
and Janet are returning from the quantum realm. For the "macro-photography"
sequences in the film, DNEG took a different approach from their work in Ant-Man due
to issues including trying to get a camera to seem small enough to capture the small
actions. Though some of the film was shot with a Frazier lens that provides extra depth
of field, DNEG would still need to "re-project the road higher and "raise the floor level" to
simulate a tiny sized camera". As the third act chase sequence was mainly shot in
Atlanta, while being set in San Francisco, DNEG VFX Supervisor Alessandro Ongaro
noted it required "extensive environment work" with background elements in some shots
not being salvageable at all.[30] DNEG ultimately created 130 unique environments for the
chase. Clear Angle aided DNEG with the Lidar surveying and photography of San
Francisco, and were able to get their information for Lombard Street down to the
millimeter resolution.[80] DNEG also handled the stereo conversion on the film to release
it in both 2.39:1 and 1.90:1 (for IMAX) aspect ratios. The squarer frame of the IMAX
ratio was used as the basis for the visual effects, with the 2.39:1 version then
being letterboxed from the finished IMAX version.[30]
Lola once again worked on the de-aging sequences with Douglas, Pfeiffer, and
Fishburne. The flashback sequences featuring a younger Hank Pym were set around
the same time as the flashback sequences of Ant-Man, so Lola were able to use a
similar process, referencing Douglas' appearance in Wall Street (1987) and having the
actor on set in a different wardrobe and wig. Lola VFX Supervisor Trent Claus felt
Pfeiffer's was less complicated, since "she has aged incredibly well" and still has big
hair and a big smile. Pfeiffer's work from Ladyhawke (1985) and other films around that
time was referenced. For Fishburne, his son served as his younger double, and helped
inform Lola how the older Fishburne's skin would have looked in certain lighting
situations. The films Lola looked to for Fishburne's younger self included Boyz n the
Hood (1991) and Deep Cover (1992). Lola also made Fishburne thinner, and all actors
had their posture adjusted.[30]
Luma worked on the scenes where Ant-Man and the Wasp infiltrate Ghost's hideout,
where they had to recreate the entire environment with CGI. They also created the first
quantum tunnel sequence where Ghost receives her powers, and the flashback missile
launch, which had to be replicated exactly from how it appeared in Ant-Man. The new
version of the quantum realm, designed by Reed and production VFX supervisor
Stephane Ceretti, was created by Method. Method Studios VFX Supervisor Andrew
Hellen, explained, "We did a lot of research into macro and cellular level photography,
and played with different ways to visualize quantum mechanics. It has a very magical
quality, with a scientific edge. We also used glitching effects and macro lensing to
ground the footage, and keep it from feeling too terrestrial." Method also worked on the
sequence when Lang is the size of a preschooler, and created the digital doubles for
Ant-Man and Wasp; Method used the same level of detail on the digital double suits
regardless of what scale they were.[30]

Music[edit]
Main article: Ant-Man and the Wasp (soundtrack)
In June 2017, Reed confirmed that Christophe Beck, who composed the score for Ant-
Man, would return for Ant-Man and the Wasp.[81] Beck reprised his main theme from Ant-
Man, and also wrote a new one for Wasp that he wanted to be "high energy" and show
that she is more certain of her abilities than Lang. When choosing between these
themes for specific scenes throughout the film, Beck tried to choose the Wasp theme
more often so there would be "enough newness in the score to feel like it’s going new
places, and isn’t just some retread."[82] Hollywood Records and Marvel Music released
the soundtrack album digitally on July 6, 2018.[83]

Marketing[edit]
Concept art and "pre-CGI video" for the film was shown at the 2017 San Diego Comic-
Con.[84] In January 2018, Hyundai Motor America announced that the 2019 Hyundai
Veloster would play a significant role in the film, with other Hyundai vehicles also
appearing.[85] The first trailer for the film was released on January 30, 2018, on Good
Morning America,[86] and used the guitar riff from Adam and the Ants' "Ants Invasion".
[87]
 David Betancourt of The Washington Post called the release, the day after the widely
praised Black Panther premiere, a "smart move"; with Black Panther and Avengers:
Infinity War also releasing in 2018, "it can be easy [to] forget that hey, there is an Ant-
Man sequel coming this year... So Marvel Studios giving us a quick reminder with this
trailer release is logical".[88] Tracy Brown, writing for the Los Angeles Times, praised how
the trailer prominently featured Lilly's Van Dyne showing "she was always meant to be a
superhero".[89]
A second trailer was released on May 1, 2018, following a teaser video featuring
the Infinity War cast asking "where were Ant-Man and The Wasp?" in that film. [90]
[2]
 Graeme McMillan of The Hollywood Reporter felt the trailer made the film feel "very
much like an intentional antidote for, or at least alternative to, the grimness of Infinity
War's downbeat ending", calling it "a smart move" since it could be considered "a palate
cleanser and proof that Marvel has more to offer... before audiences dive back into the
core narrative with next year's Captain Marvel."[90] In June 2018, Feige presented several
scenes from the film at CineEurope.[91] Ant-Man and The Wasp: Nano Battle!, an
attraction inspired by the film, opened at Hong Kong Disneyland on March 31, 2019. It
features Rudd and Lilly reprising their roles in clips that were made during the film's
reshoots.[92] Promotional partners for the film included Dell, Synchrony Financial,
and Sprint. Disney spent around $154 million worldwide promoting the film. [2]

Release[edit]
Theatrical[edit]
Ant-Man and the Wasp had its world premiere at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood
on June 25, 2018,[93] and was released in the United States on July 6, 2018, [45] where it
opened in 4,206 theaters, of which 3,000 were in 3D, 403 were in IMAX, over 660 were
in premium large format, and over 220 were in D-Box and 4D.[2] The film is part of Phase
Three of the MCU.[94]
The film was scheduled to be released in the United Kingdom on June 29, 2018, but
was rescheduled in November 2017 to August 3, 2018, [95] in order to avoid competition
with the 2018 FIFA World Cup. Charles Gant of The Guardian and Screen
International noted, "The worry for film distributors is that audiences will be caught up in
the tournament. So it's easier to play safe and not date your film at this time, especially
during the group stage, when all the qualifying nations are competing." Tom Butler
of Yahoo! Movies UK added that, unlike the first film, which was one of the lowest-
grossing MCU films in the UK, anticipation levels for the film "are at an all-time high
following the events of Infinity War" and "UK audiences will probably have found out
what happens in the film well before it opens in UK cinemas, and this could have a
negative impact on its box office potential." [96] Butler and Huw Fullerton of Radio
Times both opined the delay could also be in part because of Disney also delaying the
United Kingdom release of Incredibles 2 to July 13, 2018 (a month after its United
States release), and not wanting to compete with itself with the two films. [96][97] This in turn
led fans in the country to start a Change.org petition to have Disney move the release
date up several weeks, similarly to how Avengers: Infinity War's United States release
was moved up a week the previous May.[98]
Home media[edit]
Ant-Man and the Wasp was released on digital download by Walt Disney Studios Home
Entertainment on October 2, 2018, and on Ultra HD Blu-ray, Blu-ray, and DVD on
October 16. The digital and Blu-ray releases include behind-the-scenes featurettes, an
introduction from Reed, deleted scenes, and gag reels. The digital release also features
a look at the role concept art plays in bringing the various MCU films to life and a faux
commercial for Online Close-Up Magic University. [99] The IMAX Enhanced version of the
film was made available on Disney+ beginning on November 12, 2021.[100]

Reception[edit]
Box office[edit]
Ant-Man and the Wasp grossed $216.6 million in the United States and Canada, and
$406 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $622.7 million.[5] Following its
opening, Deadline Hollywood estimated the film would turn a net profit of around
$100 million.[2] It became the eleventh highest-grossing film of 2018.[101]
Ant-Man and the Wasp earned $33.8 million on its opening day in the United States and
Canada (including $11.5 million from Thursday night previews), [2] and a total opening
weekend of $75.8 million;[3] this was a 33% improvement over the first film's debut of
$57.2 million. Its opening included $6 million from IMAX screens. [2] In its second
weekend, the film earned $28.8 million, coming in second behind Hotel Transylvania 3:
Summer Vacation, and in its third weekend grossed $16.1 million, coming in fourth. [102]
[103]
 The film placed sixth in its fourth weekend,[104] seventh in its fifth weekend,[105] and tenth
in its sixth weekend.[106]
Outside the United States and Canada, the film earned $85 million from 41 markets,
where it opened number one in all except New Zealand. Its South Korea opening was
$20.9 million (which included previews). The $15.5 million opening from the market
without previews was the second-best opening of 2018 behind Avengers: Infinity War.
[107]
 In its second weekend, playing in 44 markets, it remained number one in Australia,
Hong Kong, South Korea, and Singapore.[108] The film opened in France in its third
weekend, earning $4.1 million,[109] and opened in Germany in its fourth, where it was
number one and earned $2.8 million, including previews. [110] The next weekend saw Ant-
Man and the Wasp open at number one (when including previews) in the United
Kingdom, where it earned $6.5 million, [111] and two weeks later, Italy opened number one
with $2.7 million (including previews).[112] In its eighth weekend, the film's $68 million
opening in China was the fourth-best MCU opening in China and the third-highest
Hollywood film opening of 2018. $7.2 million was from IMAX, which was the best August
IMAX opening in China.[113] The film opened in Japan the next weekend, earning $3.7
million, which was the top Western film for the weekend. [114] As of September 9, 2018,
the film's largest markets were China ($117.5 million), [115] South Korea ($42.4 million),
and the United Kingdom ($21.5 million).[114]
Critical response[edit]

Paul Rudd (left) and Evangeline Lilly received praise from critics for their performances and chemistry in the
film.[116]

The review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reported an approval rating of 87%, with an

average score of 7/10, based on 441 reviews. The website's critical consensus reads,
"A lighter, brighter superhero movie powered by the effortless charisma of Paul Rudd
and Evangeline Lilly, Ant-Man and The Wasp offers a much-needed MCU palate
cleanser."[117] On Metacritic the film has a weighted average score of 70 out of 100,
based on 56 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews". [118] Audiences polled
by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "A–" on an A+ to F scale, down from
the "A" earned by the first film.[2]
Peter Travers, writing for Rolling Stone, gave the film 3 out of 4 stars and praised Rudd
and Lilly, saying, "The secret of Ant-Man and the Wasp is that it works best when it
doesn't try so hard, when it lets charm trump excess and proves that less can be more
even in the Marvel universe."[116] Richard Roeper of the Chicago Sun-Times praised the
lightweight tone as a treat and a breath following the "dramatically heavy conclusion"
of Avengers: Infinity War. He also praised the cast, especially Rudd and Fortson, as
well as the visual effects and inventive use of shrinking and growing in the action
scenes.[119] Manohla Dargis at The New York Times felt the film's "fast, bright and
breezy" tone was a vast improvement over the first film, praising Reed's direction. She
also praised Rudd, felt Lilly found "her groove" in the film, and wrote that the supporting
cast all had "scene-steal[ing]" sequences. [120] Simon Abrams of RogerEbert.com said the
film was "good enough", a "messy, but satisfying" sequel that he felt managed to juggle
its many subplots while giving Rudd's Lang some decent character development. [121]
Variety's Owen Gleiberman called the film "faster, funnier, and more cunningly confident
than the original," and felt Reed was able to give the film enough personality to
overcome its two-hour runtime and effects-heavy climax. He did caution that this was
"not quite the same thing as humanity. But it's enough to qualify as the miniature
version."[122] At The Washington Post, Ann Hornaday called the film "instantly forgettable"
and criticized its plot, which she felt included some "filler" subplots, but found the film to
be "no less enjoyable" because of this. She particularly praised Rudd along with the
action and effects.[123] Writing for The Boston Globe, Ty Burr called the film the perfect
"summer air-conditioning movie", finding it fun, funny, superficial and an improvement
over the first. He also wrote that the film had too many subplots and not enough of
Pfeiffer, but was pleased with the lack of connection that the overall story had to the rest
of the MCU, and with the focus on "pop trash" comedy. [124] Stephanie Zacharek, writing
for Time, said it was "hard to actively dislike" the film, which she thought had reasonably
fun action and stand-out moments between Rudd and Fortson; but she was not as
impressed with the larger, effects-heavy action sequences and felt the focus on Lilly as
a better hero than Rudd was "just checking off boxes in the name of gender equality." [125]
