* At Comic-Con 2014, during an interview with Creator/PaulRudd, Creator/MarkRuffalo can be seen [[TheKnightsWhoSaySquee fangirling]] over him in the background.
** Mark Ruffalo [[http://markruffalo.tumblr.com/post/108275814510/get-a-load-of-paul-rudd-as-ant-man-im-looking responded]] to the EW cover with a gif of his aforementioned fangirling.
* The first one-sheet Marvel released is simply a white background with a ant-sized speck of the protagonist in the centre, continuing the tongue-in-cheek promotional trend that started with ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy2014''.
* The movie's official Website/{{Twitter}} account [[https://twitter.com/AntMan/status/608301502638227456 responds]] to an anti-ant product. Then both accounts get into a brief, but hilarious slapfight.
* Paul Rudd vs. Creator/StephenHawking in an epic game of... [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hi0BzqV_b44 Quantum Chess]]. [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer No, seriously.]] Rudd is the plucky underdog who has ventured into the quantum realm (as Ant-Man), and Hawking is the ArrogantKungFuGuy pioneer in quantum physics.
--> '''Stephen Hawking:''' ''[in his robotic voice]'' I shall crush you like an [[{{Pun}} ant, man]].
** The clip is narrated by Creator/KeanuReeves.
--->'''Keanu:''' It's 2716, [[Film/BillAndTed and it is most excellent]].
* When a number of studios announced [[FollowTheLeader their upcoming superhero films would have R Ratings]] in light of the successful R-rated ''Film/Deadpool2016'', director Peyton Reed had [[http://moviepilot.com/posts/3800393 this]] to say:
--> [[TakeThat Breaking: ANT-MAN AND THE WASP is going FULL NC-17. Confirmed.]]
* Which was made even better by a follow-up tweet from Creator/JamesGunn:
-->I hear The ''Series/{{Inhumans}}'' is gonna be a snuff film.
* In an interview, Paul Rudd revealed what his son said when he told him he'd be playing Ant-Man: "I can't wait to see how stupid that'll be."

'''Scott:''' ''[still whispering]'' [[OhCrap He can see me.]]

'''Scott:''' ({{Beat}} as Scott gives him a [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe disapproving look]] while shrugging) ...Dude.

-->'''Scott:''' Wait, I didn't steal anything! [[NotHelpingYourCase I was returning something I stole!]] ''[Gives the facial expression equivalent [[CantBelieveISaidThat of a facepalm]]]''
* When Hank's ants bring the suit to Scott's cell, he hesitates ... until the ants start to form a [[SynchronizedSwarming 10-second countdown]] before the cops arrive.

--->'''Scott:''' ''[whispering to Hope and Hank]'' It's okay, [[TemptingFate he can't see me.]]\\

* The scenes of Scott training underground with the swarm are shot like a [[TheBeastmaster jungle hero movie]] with thumping drums, flying through the server room is like [[Film/ANewHope the Death Star trench run]], and Scott leading the charge across the table as Cross' lasers fly is played like [[UsefulNotes/WorldWarII the Normandy landings]]. [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome Which is unquestionably cool]], but you know...they're ''[[MundaneMadeAwesome ants]]''.

'''Howard:''' [[DeadpanSnarker We don't accept it. Formally]].

** Notably, Peggy grabs Hank and holds him back...''after'' he smashes Carson's face. Implying that either a) Peggy didn't see it coming, or, much more likely, she decided to let him get in that one shot.

'''Hank:''' [[SophisticatedAsHell Just get on the damn ant, Scott]]!

-->'''Cassie:''' ''[cheerfully]'' Mommy's so happy you're here, [[SpitTake she choked on her drink!]]

-->'''Cassie:''' He's so ''UGLYYY!'' [[UglyCute I LOVE HIM]]!

-->'''Scott Lang:''' ... Is it too late to change [[AtrociousAlias the name]]?

* Scott's introduction. It looks like he's fighting another inmate ... then they laugh and shake hands, as he's saying goodbye to the inmates.

'''Luis:''' Yeah, my ... ma died, too.\\

'''Scott:''' ''[quickly]'' ... [[TheAllegedCar It's nice!]]\\

-->'''Scott Lang:''' ... Damn. [[SincerityMode That was a great speech.]]

'''Hank:''' ''(smirk)'' [[RecruitingTheCriminal I want you to break into a place and steal some shit.]]\\
'''Scott (only in the trailer):''' ''({{Beat}})'' [[SureLetsGoWithThat ...Makes sense]].

--->'''Hope''': Useless.
** Scott teasingly suggests that Hope punch his hand ... only for her to punch him in the face. His expression is priceless.

** He later surprises her, tries to apologize ... [[WoundedGazelleGambit and Hope headbutts Scott.]]

-->'''Darren Cross:''' Wow! ... I mean, I saw that punch coming a mile away, but I thought it'd be weak and pathetic!

'''Paxton:''' ''[no change in tone]'' ... And there's a [[TankGoodness tank]].

* The first one-sheet Marvel released is simply a white background with a ant-sized speck of the protagonist in the centre, continuing the tongue-in-cheek promotional trend that started with ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy''.

--> '''Stephen Hawking:''' ''[in his robotic voice]'' I shall crush you like an [[IncrediblyLamePun ant, man]].

* The Fridge Humor of the fact that Scott is still able to find the part he was looking for. In other words, when the Avengers moved in and refurbished the warehouse, they didn’t bother removing all the stuff that had been stored in it!

-->'''Scott:''' Wait, I didn't steal anything! [[NotHelpingYourCase I was returning something I stole!]] ''[[Gives the facial expression equivalent [[CantBelieveISaidThat of a facepalm]]]''

!!Trailers

* The "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xyGwMqMCta4 ANTS]]" TV spot. Rather [[UsefulNotes/{{Dada}} dada-esque]], yet gives you a good idea about what you're in for, namely, [[CaptainObvious ants]].

* The entire existence of the "ant-sized" teaser.

* The existence of "ant-sized" billboards, tiny billboards that only reach the average person's ankle, advertising the movie.

* Paul Rudd is [[RunningGag infamous]] for showing a particular clip from ''Film/MacAndMe'' whenever he goes on Conan O'Brien's show. Of course, Marvel wouldn't let him pull a switcheroo as usual... [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9fqZlo60_8 so instead]] they edited footage from ''Ant-Man'' into ''Mac And Me'' to make it seem like the superhero is responsible for pushing the kid in the wheelchair down a cliff.

-->'''Scott:''' Wait, I didn't steal anything! [[NotHelpingYourCase I was returning something I stole!]] ''gives the facial expression equivalent [[CantBelieveISaidThat of a facepalm]]]''

* His second freakout reaction to the entire mess he's gotten himself into (the first being before he tried to return the Ant-man suit):

-->'''Hank:''' ''[patiently]'' You don't need to raise your hand.

'''Scott:''' ({{Beat}} as Scott gives him a [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe disapproving look]] while shrugging) ...Dude.\\

''({{Beat}})''\\

* The secondary MacGuffin is, as Pym call it, "currently collecting dust in one of Howard Stark's [[AbandonedWarehouse old storage facilities]] in [[ExactWords upstate New York]]." Hank thinks retrieving it "[[ASimplePlan Should be a piece of cake]]", and thus declares it the final phase of Scott's training. Cue a cool little sequence of Scott "parachuting" out of a plane riding on Ant-thony, but [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFqRej80iIY?t=15 then...]]

-->'''Carson:''' How's retirement?
-->'''Hank:''' How's your face?

--->'''Scott:''' [[LampshadeHanging It's the wrong details. Ok? That has nothing to do with the story.]]

* Scott's friends segueing into a discussion about ''Film/{{Titanic|1997}}'' when Scott is explaining how he's going to use cold to break through a vault made from the same metal as the actual Titanic.

--->'''Hope:''' You know that he was arrested for stealing ''a smoothie machine'', right?\\
'''Luis:''' Two smoothies machines.\\

--->'''Luis:''' Thank you for welcoming us back ma'am. It's not often that you rob a house and you get welcomed back. I mean, we just robbed you.

-->'''Scott:''' Wait, I didn't steal anything! [[NotHelpingYourCase I was returning something I stole!]] ''[[[WhatAnIdiot gives the facial expression equivalent]] [[CantBelieveISaidThat of a facepalm]]]''

-->I hear The ''Series/Inhumans'' is gonna be a snuff film.
