Trivia & production notes
- Peyton Reed had never directed a sequel before Ant-Man and the Wasp, despite being offered the opportunity multiple times, but felt genuinely excited about this project because he wanted to explore story elements he had set up in the first film.
- Ant-Man and the Wasp was the first MCU film to feature a female character in the title.
- Early script drafts included a cameo from Captain America during Luis' flashback sequences recounting the Civil War airport battle, but the writers removed it because the Civil War events were already referenced frequently enough that the appearance felt forced.
- The alternate title Wasp and the Ant-Man was briefly considered but rejected because the phrase Ant-Man and the Wasp had deeper roots in the comics and matched fan expectations.
- Director Peyton Reed drew visual inspiration from After Hours, Midnight Run, and What's Up, Doc for the film's look and feel, aiming for a tone that blended action and romantic comedy.
- Michael Douglas initially expressed interest in having his wife Catherine Zeta-Jones cast as Janet van Dyne in a potential follow-up to the first Ant-Man.
- Evangeline Lilly wanted Michelle Pfeiffer to play Janet van Dyne, Hope van Dyne's mother.
- Paul Rudd was involved in the scriptwriting process alongside professional screenwriters Gabriel Ferrari, Andrew Barrer, and Adam McKay.
- Peyton Reed was disappointed that Giant-Man was introduced in Captain America: Civil War rather than in an Ant-Man film, though he recognized the opportunity it provided for character development between Lang, Pym, and Van Dyne.
- Quantum physicist Spyridon Michalakis from the California Institute of Technology's Institute for Quantum Information and Matter served as a consultant on the film.
