* TheCaper: Was been described as a "heist movie" by Creator/EdgarWright when he was still set to direct. In the comics, Scott Lang ''stole'' the Ant-Man suit in hopes of pulling off enough heists to save his sick daughter.

!!Tropes present in this movie include:

* AnimalThemedSuperbeing: Speaks for itself.
* AppliedPhlebotinum: The Pym Particles.
* TheCaper: Has been described as a "heist movie," which makes sense since in the comics, Scott Lang ''stole'' the Ant-Man suit specifically to steal other things (namely enough cash to help his sick daughter).
* DemotedToExtra: Pym is a supporting player, with the movie focusing on Lang. This also led to Pym being omitted as a founding member of ''Film/TheAvengers'' in the MCU.

* PintSizedPowerhouse: The storyboards and test footage show this element remains intact from the comics.
* SizeShifter

* DevelopmentHell: The idea of a potential Ant-Man movie had been kicked around before Marvel had its own movie studio. Once the Marvel Cinematic Universe was founded, there were plans to include him in the Phase One films and be a member in The Avengers. Those plans fell through and he was supposed to hvae a film in Phase Two instead. The movie has since been pushed back to Phase Three but to make up for it, this will be the first movie of that phase.

* SoMyKidsCanWatch: Creator/MichaelDouglas said took the role of Hank Pym in part so his teenage son will "[[http://in.reuters.com/article/2014/01/14/film-michaeldouglas-antman-idINL2N0KO04320140114 have a picture he can see]]."
