** According to Katy O'Brian, Krylar was meant to have a much bigger role in the film than in the end product. Rather than being subjected to UncertainDoom, Krylar was supposed to have participated in a vehicle chase with Janet and her family within the Quantum Realm, which would've culminated in him somehow getting thrown in jail by Kang. Jentorra would have busted Krylar out during the jailbreak scene, with him trying to convince her that he was still on the side of good, but failing. It was scrapped because it would've caused the film to clock in at 3 hours.

* WordOfSaintPaul: Creator/KatyOBrian suggested that after the Pym-van Dyne family left the Quantum Realm, Jentorra and the rest of the freedom fighters worked with the giant ants Hank brought into the dimension to build a new society that wouldn't fall under a dictatorship like Kang's was.

** Additionally, there was an early draft of the film where Hank would've actually died during the story, but have his consciousness take control over the ants stuck in the Quantum Realm, making them a literal HiveMind under his control. While it's not entirely clear why this was scrapped, Loveness did mention that he didn't want any major deaths in this film to avoid replicating "the Thanos approach".

* RefittedForSequel: There were plans for Scott to use giant ants to help fight against Thanos's forces in ''Film/AvengersEndgame'', but they never made it past the concept art stage. Here, an army of advanced giant ants are used to fight against Kang, albeit under Hank's control instead of Scott's.

** Janet was originally planned to utilize more of her "quantum healing" powers that she alluded to in the second film, which would've extended to her having similar phasing powers that Ghost had in that movie. She would've used said abilities to fight Kang in the Quantum Realm and would've tied into her trauma that she carries throughout the film. According to Jeff Loveness, they were removed from the final product because it confused test audiences too much.
