He also stated his disappointment in the Giant-Man introduction happening in "Civil War", rather than an Ant-Man film, but noted that the appearance provided character development opportunities between Lang, Pym, and Van Dyne since Pym is "very clear in the first movie about how he feels about Stark and how he feels about The Avengers and being very protective of this technology that he has", and so Reed thought Pym would be "pissed" and Van Dyne would feel betrayed, which was Reed's "in" for those characters' starting dynamics. Reed added that he spends "a lot of time" talking with the other writers and directors of MCU films, and that he and the writers on this film wished to maintain "our little Ant-Man corner of the universe.

Stephanie Zachareck, writing for "Time", said it was "hard to actively dislike" the film, which she thought had reasonably fun action and stand-out moments between Rudd and Fortson; but she was not as impressed with the larger, effects-heavy action sequences and felt the focus on Lilly as a better hero than Rudd was "just checking off boxes in the name of gender equality."

Joe Russo added that "Ant-Man and the Wasp" would have "some [plot] elements that stitch in" closely with "Avengers: Infinity War", more so than some of the other films leading up to the Avengers films. Reed knew "Ant-Man and the Wasp" would be "a fairly stand-alone movie but... could not ignore the events of "Infinity War"", with the biggest connection occurring in the film's mid-credit scene. Since the events of "Ant-Man and the Wasp" occur over 48 hours, the timeline in relation to "Infinity War" was "left purposefully ambiguous" with Reed noting there had been discussions of placing "little Easter eggs along the way, to start to reveal to the audience where the movie takes place in the timeline, [but t]hat felt not very fun to us and kind of obvious." Reed also liked how the film ends with closure and on a positive note "and then to BANG — give the audience a gut punch right after the main credits", with the sequence showing Hank Pym, Janet van Dyne, and Hope van Dyne disintegrating due to the events of "Avengers: Infinity War".

Reed later revealed that early drafts of the script included a cameo appearance from Captain America, appearing during Luis' flashback sequences as he was recapping Lang's involvement in the airport battle in "Captain America: Civil War". However, the writers chose to remove the appearance in the final script since the events of "Civil War" were already referenced frequently in the film, and this instance "didn’t feel organic to the story."

The film's main credits sequence is a "table-top" version of its action sequences, and was created by Elastic. An alternative idea that had been considered was to create a "fake behind-the-scenes documentary" that would have made the film look like it was a 1950s-era Godzilla movie with "people in suits stomping on model cityscapes".

Ant-Man and the Wasp | Introduction
Reed stated in early December that the film may "call back" to the heist film genre and tone of "Ant-Man", but that "Ant-Man and the Wasp" would "have an entirely different genre template". He hoped to incorporate additional flashback sequences in the film, as well as explore Pym's various identities from the comics and his psychology. Reed also said he was "excited" about exploring and discovering the film version of the Ant-Man and Wasp relationship that is "a romantic partnership and a heroic partnership" in the comics, a "different dynamic than we've seen in the rest of the [MCU], an actual partnership." Additionally, Reed mentioned that pre-production would "probably" start in October 2016, with filming scheduled for early 2017.
Ant-Man and the Wasp | Development
It's about damn time: We’re going to have a fully realized, very complicated hero in the next movie who happens to be a woman." Reed would push to ensure the Wasp received equal publicity and merchandise for the film, and wanted to explore the backstory of Janet van Dyne as well. He had "definite ideas" of who should portray that character. Reed said the alternate title "Wasp and the Ant-Man" was briefly considered, but was not chosen due to fan expectation given the comics history of the phrase "Ant-Man and the Wasp". That month, Adam McKay, one of the writers of "Ant-Man", expressed interest in returning to write the film, and Douglas confirmed that he was in talks to return as well.

The next month, Peña was confirmed to be returning as Luis, while filming was revealed to be taking place in Atlanta, Georgia. In early October, an initial script had been completed for the film that was awaiting approval from Marvel.
Ant-Man and the Wasp | Development
Peter Travers, writing for "Rolling Stone", gave the film 3 out of 4 stars and praised Rudd and Lilly, saying, "The secret of "Ant-Man and the Wasp" is that it works best when it doesn't try so hard, when it lets charm trump excess and proves that less can be more even in the Marvel universe." Richard Roeper of the "Chicago Sun-Times" praised the lightweight tone as a treat and a breath following the "dramatically heavy conclusion" of "Avengers: Infinity War". He also praised the cast, especially Rudd and Fortson, as well as the visual effects and inventive use of shrinking and growing in the action scenes.

In response to this, Feige said, "What's fun about "Civil War" though is, as you know from the comics, it's a very simple story. And it really has to be, to accommodate that many players. It's very much a Captain America movie and it's very much a sequel to the "Winter Soldier" in ways I don't think people [will expect]... It's a very simple structure that allows you to have these amazing character interactions in a way that I don't think becomes overwhelming." Feige also revealed that Hope van Dyne / Wasp was in an original draft of the film, after receiving the Wasp costume at the end of "Ant-Man", but was cut because "there are so many characters in "Civil War" that we didn't want to do her a disservice," saying Marvel was "saving" the character for a better environment to reveal van Dyne in the Wasp costume for the first time and see "her dynamic with Scott [Lang] in a way it could play out".

At the start of November 2016, Reed said that the film's production would transition from "the writing phase" to "official prep" that month, beginning with visual development. Reed reiterated his excitement for introducing the Wasp and "really designing her look, the way she moves, the power set, and figuring out, sort of, who Hope van Dyne is as a hero". Reed was inspired by the films "After Hours" (1985), "Midnight Run" (1988), and "What's Up, Doc?" (1972) for the look and feel of "Ant-Man and the Wasp". While the first film was more of a heist film, Reed described this as part action film, part romantic comedy, and was inspired by the works of Elmore Leonard where there are "villains, but we also have antagonists, and we have these roadblocks to our heroes getting to where they need to be".

Reed insisted that the film be shorter than two hours since it would be following the "massive epic" "Infinity War" and because it is "an action/comedy, and it didn't want to overstay its welcome".

The consensus of review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reads, "Led by a charming performance from Paul Rudd, "Ant-Man" offers Marvel thrills on an appropriately smaller scale – albeit not as smoothly as its most successful predecessors." Todd McCarthy of "The Hollywood Reporter" remarked, "Although the story dynamics are fundamentally silly and the family stuff, with its parallel father-daughter melodrama, is elemental button-pushing, a good cast led by a winning Paul Rudd puts the nonsense over in reasonably disarming fashion." For "Ant-Man and the Wasp", the critical consensus on Rotten Tomatoes reads, "A lighter, brighter superhero movie powered by the effortless charisma of Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly, "Ant-Man and The Wasp" offers a much-needed MCU palate cleanser." Simon Abrams of RogerEbert.com felt that the film managed to juggle its many subplots while giving Rudd's Lang some decent character development.
Scott Lang (Marvel Cinematic Universe) | Reception
The family theme represents the film's two father-daughter relationships, between Scott Lang and his daughter Cassie, and between Hank Pym and his daughter Hope van Dyne. Beck also intended for it to "signify the emergence of Hope as something of a hero herself". Additionally, the villainous Yellowjacket has "a more traditional theme, presented in traditional fashion, but augmented with processed electronics to convey the crazed and obsessed nature of the character". Of the many ant species featured in the film, Reed and Beck felt that the bullet ants deserved their "own identity"; since the species is primarily indigenous to South America, Beck used ancient Aztec drums and tribal flutes to give them a "regional flavor".

He did caution that this was "not quite the same thing as humanity. But it's enough to qualify as the miniature version." At "The Washington Post", Ann Hornaday called the film "instantly forgettable" and criticized its plot, which she felt included some "filler" subplots, but found the film to be "no less enjoyable" because of this. She particularly praised Rudd along with the action and effects. Writing for "The Boston Globe", Ty Burr called the film the perfect "summer air-conditioning movie", finding it fun, funny, superficial and an improvement over the first. He also wrote that the film had too many subplots and not enough of Pfeiffer, but was pleased with the lack of connection that the overall story had to the rest of the MCU, and with the focus on "pop trash" comedy.

Ant-Man (film) | Plot
For the sequence where Janet van Dyne communicates through Lang, inspiration was taken from "All of Me" (1984) in which Lily Tomlin's character is trapped in the body of Steve Martin's character. There were discussions about having Pfeiffer perform the scene first to give Rudd an idea of how she would act, but the group ultimately decided to let Rudd invent the scene completely himself. For the chamber in Ghost's lair, the production team under production designer Shepherd Frankel wanted to create an environment that was unique to the MCU, and designed the chamber with fresnel lenses to give it concentric-circle patterns that served a practical purpose for the film's story as well as differentiating the esthetics of it from other sets and creating mystery about the character.
