3. Wasp Provides Awesome Support

"Evangeline Lilly seizes her moment with a refreshing air of scepticism. Her Hope doesn’t trust the whole superhero thing, and comes off a stronger heroine as a result." - Variety
"Luckily, for anyone who was frustrated with Hope’s supporting role in the first film (and complete absence from Civil War), Ant-Man and The Wasp truly gives equal weight to both of its titular heroes." - IGN

Ant-Man's mid-credits scene teased the appearance of the Wasp in the sequel, and the near-universal consensus is that she's an easy highlight this time around.

Though there was some division among critics about the size of her role - some deeming it equal to Ant-Man and others not - she reportedly dominates several electrifying action sequences, while Evangeline Lilly instantly makes Wasp a frontline MCU heroine.

Many reviews lauded the script and Lilly for playing Wasp off Ant-Man to strong comedic and dramatic effect, making her a compelling straight-(wo)man to Lang's more daft sensibilities.
