Hope van Dyne (née Pym) is a fictional character portrayed by Evangeline Lilly in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) film franchise, loosely based on the Marvel Comics character Hope Pym. Portrayed as the daughter of Hank Pym and Janet van Dyne, she was a senior board member of her father's company, Pym Technologies, and later inherits the superhero identity of Wasp from her mother, using a suit containing shrinking technology to shrink to the size of an insect and also fly with insect-themed wings.

After rekindling her relationship with her father, Van Dyne and Pym work together to bring back Van Dyne's mother who was previously trapped in the Quantum Realm. After doing so, Van Dyne and her parents fall victim to the Blip. When the three are restored to life, Van Dyne joins the Avengers in a battle against an alternate Thanos. Afterwards, she heads the Pym van Dyne Foundation, continues a relationship with Scott Lang, and becomes a step-mother to Cassie Lang. She is later trapped in the Quantum Realm alongside her family and works with them to defeat Kang the Conqueror.

She first appeared in the 2015 film Ant-Man and later in Ant-Man and the Wasp (2018), Avengers: Endgame (2019) and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (2023). Lilly also appears in the Disney+ animated series What If...? (2021) as an of the character. She is noted for being the first superheroine to be a titular character in a MCU film, preceding Captain Marvel, Black Widow, and Shuri.

In 2013, actresses Jessica Chastain, Emma Stone, Rashida Jones and Bryce Dallas Howard were in talks to play the female lead in the then-upcoming Ant-Man film. In February 2014, Evangeline Lilly was rumored to be cast in the role while Edgar Wright was still slated to direct. When Wright left the film later in the year and was replaced by Peyton Reed, Lilly was reluctant to take the role until she read the revised script and got a chance to meet with Reed. After reading the revised script, she felt that the film was also "pulled" more into the MCU than Wright's version adding that while Wright's version was "incredible" and would have been great to film and watch, "it would not have fit in the Marvel Universe. It would have stuck out like a sore thumb, no matter how good it was. It just would have taken you away from this cohesive universe they're trying to create. And therefore it ruins the suspended disbelief that they've built".
