Hope van Dyne is a character and superheroine from Marvel Comics and Marvel Cinematic Universe. She first appears in the 2015 film Ant-Man as the tritagonist, and later returns in the 2018 sequel Ant-Man and the Wasp as the eponymous deuteragonist. She is the daughter of Hank Pym and Janet van Dyne, working for Darren Cross. However, upon learning that Cross intends to sell the Yellowjacket battlesuit as a weapon, she and her father work together, recruiting reluctant thief Scott Lang to become Ant-Man in order to steal the suit. Hank would later reveal that he had made a new suit for her, allowing her to succeed her mother as the second Wasp.
