Details

Two years after Scott Lang was placed under house arrest for his involvement with the Avengers in violation of the Sokovia Accords, [a] Hank Pym and his daughter Hope Van Dyne briefly managed to open a tunnel to the Quantum Realm. They believe Pym’s wife Janet van Dyne may have been trapped there after it was shrunk to sub-atomic levels in 1987. When he previously visited the Quantum Realm, Lang unknowingly became quantumly entangled with Janet, and now he receives an apparent message from her.
With only a few days to go under house arrest, Lang contacts Pym about Janet, despite their tension over Lang’s actions with the Avengers. After Hope and Pym kidnap Lang, FBI agent Jimmy Wu places a large ant with Lang’s ankle-monitor as a decoy to avoid arousing suspicion. Believing Janet’s message to confirm that she is alive, the trio work to create a stable quantum tunnel so they can take a vehicle to the quantum realm and retrieve her. They arrange to buy a part needed for the tunnel from black-market dealer Sonny Burch, but Burch realizes the potential profit from Pym’s research and doubles down on them. Donning the Wasp costume, Hope fights Birch and her men until she is attacked by a deranged masked woman. Lang tries to help fight this “ghost”, but the woman escapes from Pym’s lab, which has shrunk to the size of a suitcase.
Pym reluctantly takes Hope and Lang to meet his estranged former partner Bill Foster, who gives them a way to locate the lab. After they find it, the ghost captures the trio and reveals itself as Ava Star. His father, Elihus, was one of Pym’s former partners who died along with his wife during an experiment that caused his unstable condition. Foster enters and reveals that Ava is dying and is in constant pain as a result of her condition. They plan to use Janet’s quantum powers to cure her. Believing it will kill Janet, Pym refuses to help them and flees with Hope, Lang and Lab.
Opening a stable version of the tunnel, Pym, Hope and Lang are able to contact Janet, who gives them a precise location to find but warns that they only have two hours before the unstable nature of the quantum realm separates them for a century. . . Using a truth serum, Birch learns the trio’s location from Lang’s business partners, Lewis, Dave and Kurt, and informs a contact at the FBI. Lewis warns Lang, who rushes home before he can see that Wu is violating his house arrest. Pym and Hope are arrested by the FBI, allowing Ava to take them to the lab.
Lang soon manages to help Pym and Hope escape from custody and they find the lab. Lang and Hope distract Ava while Pym enters the Quantum Realm to rescue Janet, whom he finds alive. Meanwhile, Lang and Hope confront Birch and his men, and after a long chase across San Francisco, Ava regains control of the lab, allowing her to begin taking Janet’s energy by force. Lewis, Dave and Kurt disable Birch and his men so that Lang and Hope can stop Ava. Pym and Janet return safely from the Quantum Realm, and Janet willingly gives some of her power to Ava to temporarily stabilize her. Lang returns home, just in time to release the now-suspect Wu at the end of his house arrest. Ava and Foster go into hiding when Burch and his men are arrested and confess thanks to Burch’s injection with truth serum.
In a mid-credits scene, Pym, Hope, and Janet send Lang to the Quantum Realm to collect quantum energy in a plan to help Ava stay stable. Before they can retrieve Lang, the other three turn to dust.

Cast and characters

Paul Rudd as Scott Lang/Ant-Man:
A former petty criminal who acquired a suit that allows him to shrink or increase in scale as well as increase in strength. Following the events of Captain America: Civil War (2016), in which Lang escapes from the Raft prison, director Peyton Reed stated that “he’s a fugitive for most of the first Ant-Man (2015) movie. He’s a big fugitive now.” Rudd Lang Aspired to be a regular person rather than “inherently heroic or super” and was driven by a desire to be a responsible parent.
Evangeline Lilly as Hope Van Dyne / The Wasp:
Daughter of Hank Pym and Janet Van Dyne who inherited the matching suit and Wasp mantle from her mother. The writers were excited to give Wasp’s character a proper introduction, showing her “power set, how she fights and what injustices happen to her”. Lily felt that the character found “incredible satisfaction” in becoming the Wasp, “something she’s been waiting for her whole life, which is basically a confirmation from her father.” Her relationship with Lang is more complicated than the first. movies, and included anger towards his actions during Captain America: Civil War. Lily felt that Hope needed to be “a very compassionate and empathetic person” and that she “should always push for feminine qualities to be evident when dealing with situations.” In her fight sequences, Lilly wanted to move away from the more masculine Muay Thai and MMA-style fighting she learned for the first film, noting that Hope moves differently than a man, so her fights are femininity with “elegance, grace and “a signature style”. “Younger girls can enjoy and emulate. Lilly worked with the writers to ensure that Hope was able to “represent a modern woman” rather than a stereotype of a motherly figure. Madeleine McGrath plays a young Hope Van Dyne.
Michael Pena as Luis:
Lang’s former cellmate and member of his X-Con security crew. Penner had less opportunity to improvise than in the first film, where she and Rudd were still developing the character during filming. The creative team wanted to show another scene of Lewis “reefing the long story” as he did in the first film, but did not want to repeat themselves; They managed to take a different approach for this film by giving the character Satya Seram in one scene.
Walton Goggins as Sonny Burch: A “low-level criminal-type” who wants to sell Pym’s technology on the black market.
Hannah John-Kamen as Ava Starr/Ghost:
A woman with molecular instability, who can phase through matter; He is only considered a “villain” because his efforts to survive collide with the heroes’ goals. The character has traditionally been portrayed as male in the comics, but the creative team believed that the character’s gender was irrelevant and felt that it would be more interesting to cast a woman. This allows them to continue the father and daughter theme that the film’s other characters embrace. John-Kamen enjoyed the “blank-slate” situation, which allowed him to make the character his own. Producer Stephen Broussard said they wanted to cast a lesser-known actress to help maintain the mystery of the character, and John-Kamen “blew us away”. RaeLynn Bratten stars as a young Ava.
David Dastmalchian as Kurt: A member of Lang’s X-Con security crew. Dustmalchian states that the character’s last name is Gorester.
Tip “T.I.” Harris as Dave: A member of Lang’s X-Con security crew.
Judy Greer as Maggie: Lang’s ex-wife.
Bobby Cannavale as Jim Paxton: A police officer, married to Lang’s ex-wife Maggie.
Randall Park as Jimmy Wu: An FBI agent and Lang’s parole officer.
Abby Ryder Fortson as Cassie: Lang and Maggie’s daughter.
Michelle Pfeiffer as Janet Van Dyne:
Pym’s wife, Hope’s mother and the original Wasp, who is lost in the Quantum Realm. Pfeiffer played Reed’s dream role while working on the first film, and she made sure she got her input into the character. He mentions that the character spent 30 years in the Quantum Realm, so there’s a question about how that affected him. Producer Kevin Feige explained that the character is older than that 30 years, although time works differently in the quantum realm, to avoid any “sci-fi weirdness” that might detract from the emotional reunion with Pym and Hope in the film. Michelle Pfeiffer was ageless to portray the young Janet Van Dyne, with Hayley Lovitt acting as a reference double. Lovitt played Janet in the first film before Pfeiffer became involved with the franchise. Reid explained that Lovitt was cast for the first film because of her “saucer-like, Michelle Pfeiffer eyes”.
Laurence Fishburne as Bill Foster:
An old friend of Pym’s, who was once an assistant on Project Goliath. Fishburne approached Marvel about joining the MCU, giving them some ideas about who he might portray, before Marvel offered him the role of Foster in the film. Fishburne had already played Perry White for the DC Extended Universe, but said he had always envisioned being in an MCU film, admitting that he considered himself a “Marvel guy.” Reid compared the rivalry between Foster and Pym to that of Steve Jobs and Bill Gates and wanted an actor who could go “toe-to-toe” with Michael Douglas. Laurence Fishburne was made younger to play the young Bill Foster, with Laurence’s son Langston Fishburne acting as a reference double.
Michael Douglas as Hank Pym:
An entomologist, physicist and former S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent, who became the original Ant-Man after discovering the subatomic particles that make transformation possible. Pym has grown very close to his daughter Hope since the first film and, according to Feige, has “that fatherly joy” in seeing her become a superhero in her own right. Reed was drawn to the “morally dubious” decisions that Pym sometimes made. Douglas was made younger to portray the young Hank Pym, with Dax Griffin acting as a reference double, having also done so in the first film.
Additionally, Stan Lee, co-creator of the titular heroes, makes a cameo appearance in the film as a man whose car is shrunk in an accident. Michael Cerveris appears as Elihus Starr, Ava’s father, while Ryan Steele portrays his wife and Ava’s mother, Catherine. Tim Heidecker and Brian Huskey appear in cameos as Daniel Gubler, a whaling boat captain and Cassie’s school teacher, respectively.] Sonny Burch’s male ensemble includes Devian Ladwa as Uzman, Goran Kostic as Anitolov, and Rob Archer as Knox, while Sean Clear Stoltz, Burch’s Man inside the FBI and plays Jimmy Wu’s subordinate. Tom Scarpling and John Worster of The Best Show were planned to make brief appearances as Birch’s SUV drivers, but their scenes were ultimately cut.
