"Director Peyton Reed said- "the reason Luis wasn't in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania was simply because the team knew they were going to go into the Quantum Realm early and feature a lot of new characters there...We obviously have our Lang, van Dyne and Pym family, but then we also introduced Kang, MODOK and all of our Freedom Fighter characters. So we had to make decisions early on about what stories we could tell and what stories we couldn’t tell....I love those characters. They were really, really fun and part of the Lang family, but as we got further and further into [development] and knew we wanted to bring the family into the Quantum Realm pretty early in the movie, it just didn’t make sense [to include Luis and co.]."
