With great power comes, hopefully, a great origin story. Last year's Ant-Man was a particularly effective start to the career of Paul Rudd's Scott Lang, who was last seen as a comedic relief in Captain America: Civil War. While that same origin did tease at Hope Van Dyne becoming the latest variant of the hero known as "The Wasp," a character originated by her mother, Janet, it was felt that giving her an origin in the same film would be an insult to a character that deserved her own moment in the spotlight. A moment that looks like it'll finally come in Ant-Man and The Wasp.

Now, while The Wasp's origins are up for the telling in Ant-Man and The Wasp to say that the story will take up a huge part of the film's storyline. After all, this is a continuation of the Ant-Man, that's not storyline, and part of the origin for the character has already been laid down in the previous film, thanks to Hank Pym's cautionary tale about the "quantum realm." So while Peyton Reed's sequel would technically be an origin story for Hope's tenure as The Wasp, it's still a continuation of the B-story from the first film.
