24. We Also Considered “NOT Ant-Man and the Wasp”
During principal photography, Ant-Man and the Wasp was filmed under a false title to avoid unwanted attention. That title was Cherry Blue. To be fair, we wouldn’t have guessed that one.
23. Take That, Captain Marvel!
With the addition of the Wasp to this sequel (and its title), it makes for the very first Marvel film in the Cinematic Universe to present a titular female character. And it only took them 20 films to do it (unless you count Black Widow and Gamora as being included in the Guardians and Avengers movies).
22. Equal Opportunity
Director Peyton Reed reportedly had to fight very hard to ensure that the Wasp receive the same level of marketing promotion and merchandise as Ant-Man. Thankfully, he was successful in this endeavor.
Maybe he should also make a case for Black Widow to get her own movie?
