Many fans were delighted to see Evangeline Lilly's Wasp in the teaser, with one writing: "Nice to see the Wasp action more than Ant-Man in this trailer." Michael Douglas also stars in the trailer as Hank Pym, the genius inventor behind the Ant-Man and the Wasp's shrinking suits.

You have so many departments, where this is their fifth, sixth, seventh film. So, just like actors enjoy the comfort of familiarity, when you know each other, makes it easier."
