Despite their similar force , Scott Lang ( Paul Rudd ) and Hope Van Dyne ( Evangeline Lilly ) could not be more dissimilar superheroes inAnt - Man & the Wasp . They are the first couplet to headline a Marvel Cinematic Universe photographic film , and as fan of the original film recall , they are quite the left yoke . The direct contrast between Hope and Scott will be even more prounounced and will be further explored when the heroes team up up in their new adventure .

During Screen Rant ’s sojourn to the set ofAnt - Man & the Wasp , Evangeline Lilly turn over deep into the mindset of Hope , how she has convert from the first movie , and how Hope and Scott counterpoint each other :
" Hope Van Dyne and Scott Lang are two birds of a very , very different feathering . They can both squinch . I intend , of course , Scott is just incredibly loveable , easygoing , and relax about thing . Even when things are as dire as they can be , you have this sense that they ’re kind of okay inside . Hope is generally not okay inside . But what I think is exciting about playact the Wasp is there is this incredible satisfaction in Hope , something that she has been waiting for her whole life , which is basically , an statement from her father has come . "
While Scott is primarily prompt to be a hero so that his young daughterCassiewill be proud of him , Hope is driven by needing her don ’s affirmation . However , the actress explained how Hope finds her sense of worthiness by being the Wasp :
" And it come in the form of this mantelpiece . It came in the form of this courtship . So , now that she ’s wear it and she ’s exercising these muscles she ’s wanted to work out all her life , she ’s in a really different spot emotionally when we start the film . And , you know , hopefully you ’ll be able to to see that and fill that instantly …. I reckon that ’s wonderful to show that people do evolve and change and that something as unsounded as your family relationship with your father can have an effect and a reverberation on every aspect of your spirit . "
While Hope Van Dyne and Scott Lang two very different people with unlike emotional need when they met inAnt - Man , it seems like both are primarily drive by the need to connect with penis of their family . It seems like Hope overcomes her psychic trauma at losing her mother at a young age and being emotionally keep out out by her Fatherhood . While there will be necessary conflict , the Pym / Van Dyne family should achieve a firm trammel , especially when they go into theQuantum Realmto find Hope ’s lose female parent Janet .
It ’s this vital contrast between Hope and Scott , not just with their differing power sets ( Wasp can fly while Ant - Man can also becomeGiant - human beings ) , but also with their emotional drives to be superheroes , that will makeAnt - Man & the Waspsuch a absorbing superhero team - up .
