Deadline writes that William Jackson Harper is in the movie but his character is still a secret. No detail yet whether he is on the heroes side or a baddie.
Harper is a Primetime Emmy Award nominee for his work on The Good Place as a supporting actor in a comedy series. He played Chidi Anagonye, the highly ethical, quite philosophical character in the series whose self ponderings made him indecisive to the point of hurting the people around him. His characteristic indecision even led to his own demise.
Critics have also commended him on his work in Love Life in 2022,The Underground Railroad in 2021, and Midsommar in 2020.
The secrecy of his role in the movie leaves fans to speculate on which side he will be. As the trailer showed beings long existing in the Quantum Realm, he may likely belong in there under Kang the Conqueror. Or perhaps a character in the main realm of the MCU. At his point, any character is possible.

He could even be a character who influences Cassie in her development of the quantum satellite that started the mayhem of it all. This point of announcement really leads people to think that his character also has something to do with the multiverse or cross-travelling of realms. Referring to the comic books, he could also be any one connected to Scott Lang and even Dr. Hank Pym.
IMDb lists the movie as one that is still in post-production. Given that it has already released an official trailer, most likely they are in the final legs of post production. Very soon enough, the world will again witness the dynamics of the Quantum Realm. In this third movie, they will further explore the civilizations that exists within the world that we know of.
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania will have its theatrical release on Feb. 17, 2023.
