Ant-Man The Official Ant-Man News and Speculation Thread - Part 7

[DocLathropBrown]

"Ant-Man Final Battle" is pretty damn specific for it not to be accurate.

That IM3 one wasn't labeled so definitively.

I fail to see the difference between 'Final Battle' and 'Ultimate Showdown'

 

[Krystal]

"Decisive clash!!"

 

[Godzillasaurus]

You'd think all of these news sites would remember how well depending on LEGO sets for spoilers has gone...

Oh how you return those painful memories of the IM3 incarnation of the Mandarin to my sickened mind.... How dare thou!?

 

[obsidianrpg]

Even if the Lego set is super accurate, there is no Pym in the front picture. He's merely an accessory provided along the set for extra bang for the buck!

Two Ant-Men for the price of one!

What is the budget of this movie?

 

[chamber-music]

The usual Marvel movie budget (somewhere between 140-200 million dollars)

 

[Solaire]

I absolutely love the cover of Empire.

 

[Quasimod0]

There are some great pictures inside as well.

 

[BatsDC]

Edgar wrote an after-credits scene for Age of Ultron that for some reason was scrapped.

Reed has made Pym's character darker.

Original villain was going to be the 'Nano Warrior'.

Reed teased Falcon cameo. So Ant-Man will be recruited in this movie, perhaps?

Any to share here?

Was Nano Warrior something from comics too?

Pym evil confirmed by Reed?

 

[chamber-music]

Nano Warrior would of been an original character not from the comics.

Edgar Wright talked about researching nano technology when he was attached to the movie.

I figured Edgar's Film would have his British irreverence and be less 'mainstream American cinema' than Peyton's version.

I don't mind Reed exploring Pym's dark side but I hope the character is balanced. Hank Pym doesn't need to be guilt ridden and tortured all the time in the film.

I'm not surprised Hope is a bit of a b**** at the start of the movie given which side she starts on and her relationship with her father.

 

[chamber-music]

Pym evil confirmed by Reed?

Nope.

Spoiler

Pym is described as being ethically questionable but not evil. Pym most likely dies in the movie given we saw leaked set pictures of him injured and being carried by his daughter Hope. The scene looks like it takes place just before Pym Technologies blows up (which we see in the trailer)

 

[obsidianrpg]

I doubt an Ant-Man can die from such a wound. They (at least Scott) can shrink their vital organs to avoid critical injury.

 

[chamber-music]

We don't know if the full extent of the powers in the comics are the same as in the movie. Hank is retired from being Ant-Man which is partly why he hires Scott.

I think Hope Van Dyne will turn out to be a villain. She resents her father, Hank Pym, for causing the death of her mother, Janet Van Dyne.

That's why she takes on her mother's last name instead of her father's.


Normally, Kids take after their father's last name, instead of their mother's.


I think Hope wants revenge on Hank Pym for causing the death of her mother, and so she will betray her father and side with the bad guys.

Well she

Spoiler

does plot with Darren Cross to take over her fathers company at the start of the movie which is her revenge on her father. After Cross takes over she realizes he is turning evil and switches to her father side. She is confirmed as being on 'Team Pym'.

Hope seems to be the 'inside woman' on the heist. Hope will probably be feeding them insider information on Cross as she still works at the company. I imagine she reconciles with her father given Evangeline Lilly said she shares a emotional scene with Douglas.

Ant-Man looks so freakin adorable *_*

That pic is all kinds of awesome, and even as an adult hetero male, incredibly cute.

OK, I may be reading too much into this, but...

Spoiler

Too me, this looks like Ant-Man has a black helmet and black gauntlets, most of the footage of Lang as Ant-Man has him wearing silver-grey helmet and gauntlets. However, the Ant-Men distinguish between Lang and Pym by giving the latter a black helmet and black gauntlets.

While I don't believe the rumour that Pym will suit up in the final battle, I want to believe this still - and the section in the trailer with Ant-Man running with a load of ants - is from a 'man in the anthill' flashback involving Pym.

Further evidence, the man in the anthill in the trailer has a different cylinder on his back, it looks far more like a prototype than that worn in the rest of the trailer. It may just be a trick of the light, though.

 

[Sleiek]

It still looks grey to me!

 

[Jammat]

It still looks grey to me!

*looks closer*

Maybe you're right.

Same here
