“I don’t actually watch all the Marvel stuff and I don’t always know what’s going on completely in the Marvel universe. Maybe I shouldn’t admit that, but I don’t,” she said. While some viewers could see this as dismissive, it remains constrained by the fact that she is not required to know everything that is happening around the Marvel Universe to play Hope Van Dyne in it. She has prominently proved to be a part of the franchise and will continue to do so whether or not being an MCU encyclopedia.
