Ant-Man The Official Ant-Man News and Speculation Thread - Part 6

[Norek]

Honestly, I like what they're doing with the Pym/Lang dynamic. It would be nice to see a flashback (or maybe a series?) about Howard Stark, young Hank Pym, Peggy Carter, Alexander Pierce, etc. so we can also meet Janet in her youth and see them suit up as the classic Ant-Man and Wasp, but as it is, I'm getting a good vibe from the setup of the movie. Besides, there are already way too many scientist superheroes, so to see a thief suit up as one is something really fresh and something I'm excited to see.

The specific ants that we'll see in Ant-Man are fire ants, winged carpenter ants, and bullet ants.

Bullet Ants have one of the most powerful and potent venomous stings in the insect kingdom.

The sting of a bullet ant according to some victims is equal to being shot, hence the name of the insect. It is described as causing "waves of burning, throbbing, all-consuming pain that continues unabated for up to 24 hours"

Science, *****es!

Fire Ant
Carpenter Ant
Bullet Ant

We need one of Pym watching all the previous MCU movies.

Yeah but Bats give you ebola and rabies, so whose cooler

edit- just watched this, I actually now feel like if they use bullets ants Ant-man would actually be overpowered

Better yet, fill those screens with this:

I don't know how to do it or I would.

Might be quite difficult. You'd have to shrink 6 versions of the same gif to fit those screens, one of which has to be behind Michael Douglas's head. That's bound to use up a lot of MBs if they're all moving, and also the main picture would have to probably be a gif as well and not just a standard still jpg.

maybe the yellowjacket suit was the prototype for the wasp suit that janet wore...that drove her crazy and ended up with her death?

There needs to made a version of this with a gif of that Mac&Me clip instead of Ultron.

Quick Question:

So many of these guys have in their contracts with Marvel that they are signed on for X number of films (whether it goes to that amount or not, or negotiate further for more appearances, ie RDJ). Do we know how many Marvel required for Rudd, Douglas, and Lily?

 

[terry78]

Once publicity starts we'll know. The default seems to be 6, since you gotta take into account sequels, spin-offs, and team-ups.

 

[connor_in]

Yes it is.

Spoiler

Let's fridge the wife/GF in order to cause the male hero main-pain/angst

is about a cliché and predictable as you can possibly go, no thanks.

Yes it is, but they're at Disney. That is Disney's no. 1 go to. See 90% of their animated movies going back to the very beginning.

Bullets ant are not to be messed with

The BBC wildlife guy got stung so bad by Bullet Ants he started crying like a little kid and almost passed out.

We can at least confirm more than one, as Lilly mentioned she was going to be working again in 2016.

Honestly makes me excited to see Rudd/Lilly interacting with Cumberbatch/Blunt/Boseman/Mackie/Johnson/Olson/Bettnany and any of the 'old' guys.

Didn't someone suggest that after they defeat yellowjacket, pym could repurpose this for the wasp?

He should be watching clips of Glenn Close from different movies like Fatal Attraction, 101 Dalmatians & Guardians Of The Galaxy.

 

[Hunter Rider]

I don't know much about Ant-Man but I liked the trailer, I think the cool effects and heist side of things were nicely balanced with the human story of a guy trying to be a better man his daughter can be proud of, and the dynamic of student/mentor with Pym. It's great to see Michael Douglas in something I'm interested in, it's been a while.

The suit looks fantastic and so does Evangeline.

 

[chamber-music]

They need some Adam and the Ants music in the next trailer

Will Ant-Man be able to increase in size in the movie?
