• In Ant-Man and the Wasp, Bill Foster appeared in the live-action film set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe where he was portrayed by actor Laurence Fishburne. He was a scientist who worked for S.H.I.E.L.D. and came to work alongside Hank Pym on Project Goliath where they attempted to use Pym Particles to grow subjects to great heights. Foster took part in the program where he managed to grow giant sized for a short period of time. He came to have a tense relationship with Pym who he believed had a big ego and could not tolerate anyone being his equal. In time, he left the project where he claimed he left under his own will whilst Hank stated he fired Foster for not being competent. Around this time, Foster learnt that a former colleague named Elias Starr who had been disgraced and fired by Hank Pym was conducting his own quantum research in secret but his project suffered an accident that killed him along with his wife. Elias's daughter Ava Starr was the only survivor but the experiment resulted in her body suffering molecular instability leaving her nearly intangible and in constant pain. Bill was called in as an expert to help her where he became her surrogate father to help her with her powers and to cope with the pain whilst he attempted to find a cure for her.
