Fandango: Since Ant-Man and the Wasp is the first MCU movie post-Infinity War, the biggest question fans have is when does this movie take place? Is it pre-snap? Is it post-snap? Or a little bit of both?

Peyton Reed: Well, I would be shot by a Marvel sniper if I revealed too much information. But all I can say is the movie takes place post-Civil War, and the timeline with regard to Infinity War will become apparent as you watch the movie. Thats all I can say.

Fandango: Is it challenging to tell a lighter, more self-contained story two months after this monstrous Infinity War movie completely changes the game? Did you feel any pressure to have more answers for fans knowing what happened in that film?

Reed: No, I actually think it's really similar to the dynamic of the first Ant-Man. If you remember, we followed, I think, two months after Avengers: Age of Ultron. Which, while not quite as dark as Infinity War, was a giant, epic, sort of dark movie, and here we came right after that as a more intimate, more comedic movie. I actually think it's brilliant positioning for us, and I think it's really, really fun.

Fandango: If the first movie was a heist movie, would this be a rescue movie?

Reed: I'd say it would be a rescue movie grafted on to an "Elmore Leonard-esque" crime movie that's also a comedy and also a family drama rolled into one delicious pastry that you can enjoy.

Fandango: What would you say are some of the cinematic inspirations that you took into the sequel? Any movies that you watched while you were preparing? Any movies that you sent the cast?

Reed: Yeah, absolutely. It's kind of a weird, mixed bag. In the first movie, so much of the movie took place in Hank Pym's house or at Pym Tech. I really wanted to open this movie up and feature San Francisco as a character even more. It's an odd group of movies, though.

Midnight Run was a big influence just in terms of that movie is all forward motion, and the lead characters have a very simple goal, but that goal is constantly thwarted throughout the movie for various reasons. What's Up, Doc? The Peter Bogdanovich movie just because of its tone. Obviously, it's comedic, but it also has this insane chase through San Francisco, and we all watched What's Up, Doc? just in terms of our movie's version of a bizarro, size-changing car chase through San Francisco. Also, being able to create action sequences that were very specific to the city of San Francisco - that definitely intrigued me. Then after that, I think it's got maybe a little dash of Fantastic Voyage and a little dash of The Big Lebowski, and Elmore Leonard was also an influence on this movie.

Interesting. I know the concept of time is different in the quantum realm.

The marketing for this movie is great dare I say underrated? Hopefully it's hyping people up good enough to get people in the theater.

Co worker said they showed the trailer during Incredibles 2 so that should help a lot.

Is there any chance, that the ant-man would introduce in Avengers?

Mike Murdock · Jun 19, 2018

I think your question is missing a word or something.

I've been meaning to buy the first ANT-MAN on blu-ray... and now it's shot up in price everywhere. :csad:

Should have grabbed it a few months ago when I meant to.

MahvelBaby! · Jun 19, 2018

Web-Head · Jun 19, 2018

Can't believe it's only about two weeks away
