History Trivia / AntManAndTheWasp

* FakeAmerican: Canadian Creator/EvangelineLilly playing American Hope van Dyne/The Wasp. Though, she ''is'' a United States resident. However, her [[UsefulNotes/CanadianAccents Canadian accent]] surfaces whenever she refers to Janet as "Mum."

* IKnewIt:
** Fans thought that they [[FreezeFrameBonus spotted]] Janet Van Dyne as the Wasp in the Quantum Realm sequence of the original ''Film/AntMan1'' movie. This film explicitly confirms that yes, she's still there.
** [[spoiler:On a darker note, it was predicted that Wasp would've been snapped out of existence by Thanos for a number of reasons, such as the rumors that Wasp would play a minor role in ''Avengers 4'' compared to Ant-Man, and she was absent in the leaked concept art. They were right.]]

* TheOtherDarrin: Creator/MichellePfeiffer takes over from Hayley Lovitt, who briefly played Janet in a silent cameo during the first film. Justified as Lovitt had played a younger version of Janet whose face was always covered in the first film, while [[TimeShiftedActor Pfeiffer gets to play her in her aged appearance]] and have her face shown for the first time. Funnily enough, Lovitt looks uncannily like a younger Pfeiffer -- hence why Peyton Reed cast her, as he had already started planning during ''Ant-Man'' to ask Pfeiffer to play Jan in the sequel. Lovitt is still Janet's young body double.

He also did Nicky Fury in ''Film/IronMan1'' and dubs Thanos since 2014. *** Creator/PaulBorne voiced Nicky Fury in ''Film/IronMan'', Bill Foster (''Film/AntManAndTheWasp'', being the regular dub voice of Creator/LaurenceFishburne) and Thanos since 2014.

* AuteurLicense: Within the MCU, Creator/PeytonReed's success with salvaging the first Film/AntMan film earned him creative freedom with this project. In fact, Marvel Studios reorganized the Phase 3 release schedule specifically to give him this opportunity.

* DevelopmentGag: Hope briefly muses to Scott about WhatCouldHaveBeen if she had joined him in [[Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar aiding Cap]]. Hope was, in fact, originally planned to debut as the Wasp in that movie before the directors changed their minds due to the large cast already present.

* ActorSharedBackground: Ava/Ghost is revealed to be biracial, just like Creator/HannahJohnKamen.
