Sonny Burch

"You think that I don't know what you've been building? With all of this? Quantum technology. And you can forget nano-tech. Forget A.I. Forget cryptocurrency. Quantum energy is the future. It's the next gold rush. I want in,"

- Sonny Burch to Hope van Dyne

Sonny Burch is a genteel but menacing gangster who dabbles in black-market tech. He has his sights set on controlling Hank Pym's newest piece of technology—and the billions of dollars it will bring him.

Battle at the Oui
"It's a pleasure doing business with you, Sonny." "Oh, our business isn't finished yet, Hope. I can assure you of that."

- Wasp and Burch

Sonny is seen waiting for Hope van Dyne at one of the restaurant tables. He greets her as she walks in although he calls her by her alias, Susan. She is there to purchase a part from him for the Quantum Tunnel she's building. He informs "Susan" that he knows exactly who she is and who her associates are. He tries to blackmail her into doing business with him by she says no. As she gets up to leave, Sonny tells her to leave the money she brought as compensation. After Hope leaves, Sonny begins issuing orders when suddenly his men are attacked by a woman in costume aka the Wasp. His goons try to escape with the part but instead are thoroughly whipped by the Wasp. Just as Wasp attempt to leave with the device, a "Ghost" appeared out of nowhere and stole the device.

Interrogating X-Con Security Consultants
"Where is Scott Lang?"

- Burch to Luis

Later, Sonny shows up at X-Con Security Consultants looking for Hope and Scott. He too wants to steal the lab from them so that he can sell the Quantum Tunnel that they've built. He has one of his associates inject "truth serum" into Luis so that he can coerce the information out of him. After blabbering about Scott and Hope's relationship, Luis finally reveals that they are hidden in the forest. Suddenly, Ghost appears, angered by the revelation, spooking both parties before vanishing. Releasing Luis and his associates, Sonny returns to his SUV only to find all tires destroyed. Knowing the Ghost had a head start, Sonny calls his FBI contact, Stoltz and informs him of their location on the condition that he steals the lab for Sonny.

Chase at San Francisco
"Anyone seen a Southern gentleman carrying a building?"

- Ant-Man

Sonny follows Hope and Luis to the group's rendezvous point. Hope backs up and leads Burch and his men on a chase through San Francisco. Scott grows into Giant Man to stop them but Burch is finally able to grab the lab while the Wasp and Ghost fight each other. He runs to Pier 39 where he boards a ferry to get away from them. Scott follows as Giant Man and grabs the lab from Burch's arms. Burch and his gang soon corner Luis, only to be tased and tied up by Kurt and Dave. When the police arrive, they begin to confess their sins because they've been injected with "truth serum"; Burch added his restaurant had several health violations.

Personality
"My buyers don't take no for an answer. So, we're either in business together, or we aren't in business together." "Then, I guess we aren't." "You can go. But, I'm afraid your money's gonna have to remain. Let's call it compensation for my injured feelings."
