- "Ant-Man" is Michael Douglas's first role in a superhero movie.
- "Ant-Man" has undergone two adjustments and was initially set on November 6, 2015. The file was updated to July 31 of the same year. It is finally scheduled to be released on July 17, 2015.
- John Slattery played the role of Iron Man's father Howard Stark for the second time in the film, the last one was in 2010's "Iron Man 2". In "Agent Carter" and "Captain America", the role is played by the younger Dominic Cooper.
- Paul Rudd went crazy for playing the superhero. In the end, his figure was "too good." The original costume was too thin and had to be changed to fit his muscles.
- Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Ivan McGregor were the actors who played the second generation of Ant-Man Scott Lang in the film.
- In the film, Hope Van Dyne, played by Evangeline Lilly, is the daughter of the wasp Janet van Dyne and the first Ant-Man Hank Pym. In the original Marvel, the daughter of these two people was supposed to be called Hope Pim, but in the movie it was changed to follow the mother's last name.
- Ant-Man’s helmet design was influenced by Iron Man and the Autobot Bumblebee in "Transformers."
- In the original Marvel, it was the first generation of Ant-Man Hank Pim who created Ultron, who was the villain of the previous Marvel movie "Avengers 2: Age of Ultron".
- In the process of preparing the script, the Wasp Janet Van Dyne was also one of the roles, and considered Rashida Jones or Emma Stone to play. Mary Elizabeth Winstead also hopes to play. But then this role was deleted.
- When Edgar Wright was originally preparing for "Ant-Man" as a director, he asked Marvel not to use the images of Ant-Man and the Wasp in other movies for the time being, and waited for him to complete the film. This is why these two superheroes did not appear in the "Avengers" movie.
- Sean Bing, Gary Oldman, Pierce Brosnan are all cast candidates for Hank Pym. Eventually starred by Michael Douglas.
- In the Los Angeles scene in the film, you can see the poster of Brazilian soda company Pingo Doce; and through the 2008 film "Invincible Hulk", that is the company where Bruce Banner worked.
- The two actors of the American drama "Parks and Recreation" have been selected as the heroes of the Marvel superhero movie. Before the film Paul Rudd, there was also "Guardians of the Galaxy" Chris Pratt.
- Due to schedule conflicts, Jessica Chastain refused to star in the film's heroine Hope Van Dyne's invitation.
- Patrick Wilson was originally scheduled to star in Paxton. However, due to the postponement of the filming, the schedule conflict caused him to withdraw, and the role was taken over by Bobby Cannaval. The role of Paxton became heavier after the script was rewritten. Paul Rudd and Adam McKay personally called Bobby Cannaval to persuade him to play the role.
- Most Marvel movies are shot in a 2.35:1 frame format, but the film uses an aspect ratio of 1.85:1 in order to adapt to the protagonist’s special body shape.
- The first version of the movie's trailer was first announced in "Ant Size". The trailer of this super mini was almost invisible to the naked eye, but on the second day, the movie easily announced a normal size trailer.
- Edgar Wright thought Paul Rudd was the perfect candidate to play Scott Lang, and praised his "natural charm" to make Ant-Man, an anti-hero character, more popular. In the original comic book, Scott Lang has red hair, but the movie version keeps Paul Rudd's black hair.
- According to the original idea, "Ant-Man" should be about the story of Hank Pym, the first generation of Ant-man, but considering that the character has too much dark history (), it is not suitable for young and old. The film finally shifted the focus of the story to the second generation of Ant-Man.
