* SimilarlyNamedWorks: The Wasp with [[ComicBook/TheWaspLevGleason the Golden Age hero]].
* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** The Wasp was featured as a major character in one of the earlier drafts of Creator/JossWhedon's screenplay for ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}''. She ended up being cut from the film due to there already being too many characters to juggle.
** She was also originally set to be one of the three main characters in the first ''Film/AntMan1'' film, but this changed during development.
** The Hope Van Dyne version of the Wasp was supposed to make her debut in ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar'', but the character was cut from the script due to a variety of factors (such as Creator/EvangelineLilly being heavily pregnant and the filmmakers not wanting her debut to be overshadowed by other characters).
