** Years after the movie came out, director Peyton Reed stated that Darren Cross [[UncertainDoom may not have actually died]] when Scott seemingly imploded him. He suggests it's possible that he could be [[TrappedInAnotherWorld trapped]] in the [[AcidTripDimension Quantum Realm]]. Presumably, this is to leave the door open for some kind of return if they so choose. Though, [[FateWorseThanDeath it's not like this fate is any better]].

** Early on, people were confused by the fact that someone as old as Michael Douglas was cast as Hank Pym, and that Scott Lang seemingly was the first person to don the Ant-Man suit in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The film later confirms that Hank ''was'' the original Ant-Man in the MCU back in the '60s through the '80s, and that he was a founding member of the early Avengers Initiative with Janet. He's been given an AgeLift in contrast to the Avengers' generation, and is now retired; givng a good in-story reason for Scott to succeed him.

** There were two alternate fates suggested for Darren Cross at the end of the film; [[PutOnAPrisonBus one where he's arrested by the authorities]], and one where [[KarmicDeath he was liquified in the same way he disposed of his corporate enemies.]] Ultimately, him shrinking and deforming into nothingness was used in order to leave the door open for future appearances...which ultimately would be taken advantage of in ''Film/AntManAndTheWaspQuantumania''.

* CreatorBacklash: Edgar Wright, the original director of ''Ant-Man'', hasn't watched the film or even the trailer and he says, "It would kind of be like asking me, ‘Do you want to watch your ex-girlfriend have sex?’ Like, ‘No, I’m good.’" Not to mention he hasn't spoken to Peyton Reed, and the last time he ever spoke to him was to tell him not to use his (Wright's) storyboards.

* DuelingWorks: With ''Film/FantasticFour2015''. To say ''Ant-Man'' [[CurbStompBattle curb-stomped]] ''Fantastic Four'' would be a severe understatement--FF turned out to be the most critically-lambasted superhero movie since ''Film/{{Elektra}}'' and ''Film/Catwoman2004'', and flopped so hard that it crushed any hope of a sequel, along with derailing the director's career. ''Ant-Man'', while still on the lower end of the MCU's usual gross, still did extremely well and critics were generally favorable to it, so much so that when eviscerating FF, they told their audience to watch this movie instead.

* ExiledFromContinuity: A case that applied to the Marvel Cinematic Universe was brought to an end by this movie, even though the studio had the rights to said characters. While Creator/EdgarWright was working on the film, he requested that Marvel refrain from using Ant-Man or Wasp until he had finished the movie, which is why they were absent from ''Film/TheAvengers2012''. Now that the film has been released, they are free to appear in the MCU. However, he later said he wished for the film to be completely stand-alone with no references to the other films. This did not match the plan for the MCU, so, ultimately, it among other factors led to Wright leaving.
