This film marks a first in the Marvel Cinematic Universe: a female superhero finally has a titular role! The Wasp is made out to be just as powerful and just as strong as Ant Man, giving equal footing to both men and women on the poster.

Function Ranking/Relative Size

  • Both Ant Man and the Wasp are shown as equals on the poster. They are both in their fighting suits and both take up the same amount of space on the poster. The Wasp is given as much recognition and space on the poster as Ant Man is.

Modern Shift/Licensed Withdrawal

  • Ant Man is shown looking over his shoulder at the camera, which is typically a more female position on the poster. 
  • Neither of the characters are shown with licensed withdrawal, they both look directly at the viewer and assert their power on the poster.
