In a recent interview with Yahoo Entertainment, director Peyton Reed provided a few updates about Ant-Man 3 and the relationship between Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly as Scott Lang / Ant-man and Hope van Dyne / Wasp, respectively. The director was asked if the two characters would have equal screen time in the untitled third film.

Replying to the question, he said that they share a partnership, and Wasp is a “very very important” part of that. He stated that it was a “very gratifying thing,” and explained that “technically” they were the first Marvel movie with a female hero in the title of the movie. Reed mentioned that finding the gender balance in the movie is “very important” to him because having a character’s name in the title has been a “men’s playing field,” historically. He noted that it is “really, really changing” now in a great way.
