Q 01In Ant-Man, which ice cream chain fires Scott Lang once it learns about his prison record?
Baskin-Robbins
Baskin-Robbins: his manager sacks him with the words "Baskin-Robbins always finds out". With no honest work open to an ex-convict, Scott agrees to one more burglary, the job that leads him to the suit.
Q 02Who plays Hank Pym, the original Ant-Man?
Michael Douglas
Michael Douglas had just surprised audiences as Liberace in Behind the Candelabra and saw a superhero film the same way: sometimes, he said, "you've got to shake them up a little bit and have some fun."
Q 03In Ant-Man, which kind of ant does Scott Lang ride through the air on his missions?
Carpenter ant
Carpenter ant: Hank Pym calls the species ideal for ground and air transport, and Scott gives his favourite mount a pet name. Crazy ants, which conduct electricity, get the job of frying the servers.
Q 04Why was Scott Lang in prison before the events of the first Ant-Man film?
He stole from his crooked employer
He stole from his crooked employer: Scott blew the whistle on VistaCorp for overcharging its customers and was fired, so he hacked in, sent the millions back and posted the bank records online.
Q 05In the first Ant-Man film, what is the shrinking suit built by Hank Pym's former protégé called?
Yellowjacket
Yellowjacket is Pym's own shrinking technology turned into a weapon. Its maker means to sell the armed suits by the army, to the horror of the man who had kept the original hidden for decades.
Q 06During a burglary early in Ant-Man, where does Scott Lang find the shrinking suit?
In a safe in Hank Pym's house
In a safe in Hank Pym's house: Scott cracks it expecting cash and finds only what looks like an old motorcycle suit. Pym had fed the tip to an unwitting Luis in order to test him.
Q 07Who plays Luis, Scott Lang's former cellmate and storyteller-in-chief, in Ant-Man?
Michael Peña
Michael Peña based Luis's cadence and sunny outlook on a friend of a friend, a man who would answer "What did you do this weekend?" with "I went to jail, dawg" and a grin.
Q 08In Ant-Man, Janet van Dyne vanished into the Quantum Realm in 1987 while stopping what?
A hijacked Soviet missile
A hijacked Soviet missile: separatists had seized a silo and fired it at the United States. Hank's regulator was too damaged to get him inside, so Janet went in his place and never came back.
Q 09In Ant-Man, which Avenger does Scott Lang fight when he breaks into the Avengers' headquarters?
Falcon
Falcon was a late addition: co-writer Adam McKay wanted the heist-film beat of one last thing to steal, and having just seen The Winter Soldier, the writers picked its winged hero to guard it.
Q 10In the first Ant-Man film, which organisation sends agents to buy the weaponised shrinking suit?
Hydra
Hydra: its agents are brought to the sale by Mitchell Carson, a former S.H.I.E.L.D. man, and although Scott and Hope break up the deal, one of the buyers escapes with a vial of the shrinking formula.
Q 11How does Scott Lang finally defeat the villain of the first Ant-Man film?
Goes subatomic to wreck his armour
Goes subatomic to wreck his armour: Scott overrides his regulator, the one thing Hank Pym had told him never to do, and nearly shrinks for all eternity before clawing his way back.
Q 12Ant-Man's post-credits scene was lifted from footage shot for which later Marvel film?
Captain America: Civil War
Captain America: Civil War: Kevin Feige confirmed the scene was material shot for that film and said it would reappear there, perhaps in different takes, much as a scene filmed for Thor once closed Iron Man 2.
Q 13In the first Ant-Man film, what name does Scott Lang give the winged ant he rides into action?
Q 21Who plays Janet van Dyne in Ant-Man and the Wasp?
Michelle Pfeiffer
Michelle Pfeiffer was Peyton Reed's dream Janet long before she signed: for the masked flashback in the first film he cast a double with what he called "saucer-like, Michelle Pfeiffer eyes".
Q 22In Ant-Man and the Wasp, Ava Starr, the masked woman after Hank Pym's technology, goes by which alias?
Ghost
Ghost was rewritten from the comics' male hacker into Ava Starr, so her story could echo the series' theme of fathers and daughters. Hannah John-Kamen arrived with a letter of recommendation from Steven Spielberg.
Q 23In Ant-Man and the Wasp, what caused Ava Starr's molecular instability?
An experiment that killed her parents
Ant-thony
Ant-thony carries Scott through training and the heist until a bullet from the villain brings him down. Asked whether the ant might have survived, director Peyton Reed replied: "I'm here to report that Antony is dead."
Q 14Which comedian, who played the hero in a 1970s Saturday Night Live sketch, cameos as a cab driver in Ant-Man?
Garrett Morris
Garrett Morris's Ant-Man gets no respect in that sketch: at a superheroes' party, two fellow heroes crack up when he explains that he shrinks to the size of an ant and keeps the strength of a human.
Q 15In Ant-Man, which actor plays Paxton, the police officer engaged to Scott Lang's ex-wife?
Bobby Cannavale
Bobby Cannavale signed on after Paul Rudd and Adam McKay, who had "pumped the part up" in their rewrite, both rang him before Marvel did. Patrick Wilson, first cast as Paxton, had left when the shoot was delayed.
Q 16Ant-Man was the final film of which MCU era?
Phase Two
Phase Two ends with Ant-Man, not Age of Ultron: Kevin Feige called it "a different kind of culmination", another story of Avengers coming from unexpected places, in Scott Lang's case prison.
Q 17Ant-Man had the smallest US opening weekend of any Marvel Studios film since which earlier release?
The Incredible Hulk
The Incredible Hulk opened to $55.4 million in 2008, and Ant-Man's $57.2 million seven years later was the studio's weakest start since. It still went on to gross $519 million worldwide.
Q 18Ant-Man composer Christophe Beck first worked with director Peyton Reed on which earlier film of Reed's?
Bring It On
Bring It On, the 2000 cheerleading comedy, was Beck's first hit film credit. The Ant-Man job reached him only after Edgar Wright quit and Wright's chosen composer, Steven Price, followed him out.
Q 19Why is Scott Lang under house arrest at the start of Ant-Man and the Wasp?
He broke the Sokovia Accords
He broke the Sokovia Accords by going to Germany to fight alongside renegade Avengers. His plea deal: two years of house arrest, three of probation and no contact with anyone else who had broken them.
Q 20In Ant-Man and the Wasp, what do Hope and Hank leave wearing Scott's ankle monitor as a decoy?
A giant ant
A giant ant, programmed to copy Scott's daily routine, which is put at nine hours in bed and five in front of the TV. It keeps FBI agent Jimmy Woo from suspecting that his prisoner has left the house.
An experiment that killed her parents: her father, a former colleague whom Hank Pym had got fired, pressed on with his quantum research alone and took too many risks. Ava survived it, in constant pain.
Q 24In Ant-Man and the Wasp, who plays Bill Foster, Hank Pym's estranged former partner?
Laurence Fishburne
Laurence Fishburne, already Perry White in DC's Superman films, went to Marvel himself and pitched a few ideas before it offered him Foster. He had been a Marvel reader since his New York childhood.
Q 25Who plays black-market dealer Sonny Burch in Ant-Man and the Wasp?
Walton Goggins
Walton Goggins plays Burch, who insists his interrogation drug is no truth serum and then ends the film under arrest, confessing everything to the police after a dose of it.
Q 26In Ant-Man and the Wasp, how does the lost Janet van Dyne send Hank her location?
Through Scott's body
Through Scott's body: his earlier trip to the Quantum Realm left the two entangled, so Janet uses him as an antenna and Paul Rudd plays her for a scene. Peyton Reed's model was the body-sharing comedy All of Me.
Q 27In Ant-Man and the Wasp, what is the name of the business Scott Lang runs with Luis, Dave and Kurt?
X-Con Security
X-Con Security, the ex-convicts' new venture, is closer to collapse than Luis lets on: dosed with Burch's drug, he blurts out that the firm is broke and that winning one client is its last hope.
Q 28In Ant-Man and the Wasp's mid-credits scene, what happens to Hank, Hope and Janet?
They turn to dust
They turn to dust, three more victims of the snap that ends Avengers: Infinity War, at the moment Scott is collecting particles in the Quantum Realm. It leaves him stranded there with nobody to pull him out.
Q 29In Ant-Man and the Wasp, which skill does Scott Lang teach himself online while under house arrest?
Close-up magic
Close-up magic, learned from an online course, becomes a running gag: FBI agent Jimmy Woo is so taken with one card trick that he has to ask how it is done, and the home release adds a spoof advert for the course.
Q 30What happens to Stan Lee's character during his cameo in Ant-Man and the Wasp?
His car is shrunk
His car is shrunk by accident in the middle of the chase, and Stan Lee, co-creator of both title heroes, gets the punchline: "Well, the '60s were fun, but now I'm paying for it."
