Film
Evangeline Lilly portrays Hope van Dyne / Wasp in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with Madeleine McGraw portraying the character as a child in flashback in Ant-Man and the Wasp.
*Hope first appeared in the 2015 film Ant-Man. She is the daughter of Hank Pym and Janet van Dyne, who worked for S.H.I.E.L.D. as Ant-Man and the Wasp. While the pair were on a mission, Janet shrank to a subatomic level in order to get through titanium plating on a missile and deactivate it; unfortunately, this resulted in her continuing to shrink into a "quantum realm". Hope was seven at the time. When her father returned from the mission, all that he told her was that her mother had died. He became very withdrawn and sent her to boarding school, and their relationship became estranged. She eventually gained a position on the board of her father's company, Pym Technologies, where she cast the deciding vote to remove him from it. Some time later, the head of the company, Darren Cross, reveals that he is making significant progress in recreating the Pym Particle technology. Concerned about the technology's potential military applications, Hope reluctantly allies herself with her father to stop him. Hank decides to bring inScott Lang to become a new Ant-Man. Although at first she is resentful of Scott, calling the cops on him at one point, she gradually warms up to him. She and her father also make amends, and in the mid-credits scene, he shows her an advanced prototype suit that he and Janet had been working on and suggests that they finish it together.
*The character next appears in the 2018 sequel Ant-Man and the Wasp, where she has adopted the Wasp identity. It is revealed that she and her father have been on the run for the past two years as a result of Scott using their technology when he violated the Sokovia Accords in '.

Their plan to retrieve her is complicated when criminal Sonny Burch and the superpowered Ava Starr each develop an interest in the quantum tunneling technology. Hank eventually retrieves Janet, and Hope and Scott appear to resume a romantic relationship. In the mid-credits scene, she, Hank and Janet are disintegrated as a result of Thanos eliminating half of all life in the universe in '.
*Lilly reprised the role in , where the character is resurrected when Bruce Banner uses the Infinity Stones to undo Thanos' actions in the previous film. She is among the heroes to fight Thanos.
