Edgar Wright no longer directing Ant-Man - Page 4

The costume looks great. But I'm afraid this will just be another generic superhero movie.
I'm not saying all Marvel's movies are mediocre. But a great deal of them is.
I'm probably going to see it anyway though.

hopefully its better than the thor movies... and it would be awesome if they make yellowjacket a legit villain...

he might get defeated in a dance off though...

Trailer was cool, but man its going to be hard to sell this movie I think. It doesn't have that same under dog feel that Guardians had, that was fun and light hearted.

It's also called "Ant-Man."

Be honest, the first time anyone hears that name they assume it's a parody. Not good.

And I'm pretty sure he's an abusive alcoholic in Ultimates as well as 616.

Anyway...that's my theory as to why we don't get much of Pym in the movie.

Any man can make a mistake ONCE and not be "abusive". He sincerely regretted it afterwards, and tried very hard to make up for it, because even HE knew it was way out of line. But now because of ONE mistake, no one trusts him. If it had happened multiple times, he'd be "abusive" Once just means he's HUMAN. Also, Janet was (maybe still is?) dead after the Age of Ultron storyline in 616, so whether he'd do it again is a moot point. Can't hit a dead person.

This. I'd forgotten about them being divorced, but I do recall that Janet was killed off a few years ago. Considering comic book death ret-cons, she may be back, but last I saw, Hank was in deep mourning for her, and even took over the persona of Wasp in memory of her for a time.

She is. Bendis brought Wasp back when he wound down his run. She was hiding in the micro-verse

Preview for the Ant-Man prelude comic coming out Wednesday. It's MCU canon and stars Hank Pym on a mission during the Cold War.

*NinjaPug* · 02-01-2015, 10:16 PM

Pretty excited to read that.

Rumor (might've been confirmed and I missed it) has it that Atwell is in Ant-Man so hopefully we'll get one of these young Hank Pym missions on screen.

*ToTheNines* · 02-02-2015, 02:33 PM

I read that Agent Carter will be in it, but it won't be Atwell. Since Pym was active in the 60's, she would be nearing 50 so they're gonna get an older look alike. It probably saved them a few bucks too.

There's a comic that's a prequel to the Ant-Man movie, that shows Agent Carter.
