San Francisco, California
The first two films in the Ant-Man series were based in San Francisco, and hence most of the outdoor sequences were shot in real locations in the city. Ant-Man 3 has followed suit and recorded several scenes in San Francisco.
A few sequences from the film were shot at the San Francisco Police Department Central Station in North Beach in June 2021. Both the exterior and interior of the prison were utilized as the shoot location. Some portions were also shot in downtown San Francisco.

A major portion of the film was shot in the Western Asian nation of Turkey, officially called The Republic of Türkiye. In February 2021, Mehmet Ersoy, the Minister of Culture and Tourism in the country, announced that Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania was being filmed in the Cappadocia region.
Some portions were also taped in other regions, including Nevşehir. Previously, a number of big projects have been shot in Turkey, including Taken 2, Hitman, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, The Ottoman Lieutenant, Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, Midnight Express, and Inferno.
Buckinghamshire, England
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania will be high on special effects, and to shoot the green-screen shots, the production crew utilized the Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire, England. A virtual production technology called The Volume was used to film scenes involving VFX.
