with ant-man coming to theaters very
soon it’s time we examined his film
under a microscope welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’ll be
counting down our picks for the top 10
ant-man marvel facts did you think you
could stop the future for this list
we’ll be taking a look at the little
details and revelations leading into
this film’s release identifying those
that we find particularly noteworthy
when you’re small you have number 10
Peyton Reed and the Guardians
I’ve been watching you for a while now
you’re different
ant-man director Peyton Reed most known
for his work on comedies was actually
sought by Marvel Studios for another
project 2014’s guardians of the galaxy
Marvel ultimately decided to give that
films reins to James Gunn but Reed
evidently was not forgotten
now don’t let anyone tell you you have
nothing to offer me when an original
writer Edgar Wright departed due to a
conflict Reed was called upon to fill
the suddenly vacant role now I’m
standing up now bunch of jackasses
standing in a circle number 9 passing
the torch Scott I’ve been watching you
for a while
you’re different born of co-writers
Edgar Wright and Joe Cornish is past
deal with artisan pictures the theme of
one generations passing responsibility
to another is integral to the film’s
plot second chances don’t come around
all that often
I suggest take a really close look at
executive producer Kevin phage has
stated that ant-man will be concerned
with the original hero Hank Pym passing
along the titular mantle to newcomer
Scott Lang portrayed by Michael Douglas
and alright respectively this is your
chance to burn and look in your
daughter’s eyes to become a hero
it sure he thinks sure what’s
interesting is that like many of Marvel
Studios endeavors this narrative matches
its comic book counterpart the comics
incarnation of dr. Pym being the first
ant-man also permitted Lange to act as
his successor I’m not ant-man
you are now number 8 the power of
ant-man now this suit has power
you have to learn how to control it the
Marvel Universe’s smallest hero
certainly doesn’t lack for powers the
ant-man armor has portrayed in the film
and established in the comics has three
distinct effects shrinking the we’re
down to ant-sized imbuing said we’re
with immense strength and granting them
the power to speak to insects dude I
said dude this is achieved via Pym
particles manufacture particles that
also shrink down other objects as well
as any gadgets and weapons ant-man might
require seems like any trouble Scott
Lang finds himself in the armor we’ll be
there to help when you’re small you have
superhuman strength you like a bullet
number seven long time coming I know
wasn’t my idea the road to get ant-man
to the silver screen has been a lengthy
one really like the it seems as the
story goes ant-man’s creator stanley
sought to get a film based on the hero
produced pitching such an idea to new
world entertainment at some point in the
late 1980s sky I need you
to be the ant-man new world considered
but ultimately declined the pitch
stating that the story felt too similar
to that of 1989 s Honey I Shrunk the
Kids and thus the film was shelved for
two decades number six
amusingly literal
apparently Marvel sense of humor extends
to marketing their movies in January
2015 the studio began to promote ant-man
with all sorts of media interviews talk
show appearances and posters but its
most bold and perhaps most amusing act
was releasing a preview for the teaser
trailer that was ant-sized
the teaser for a teaser consisted a
video footage scaled down to a barely
visible size set to intense full audible
music the result is a cheeky nod to the
small stature of the titular hero and
proof that Marvel gets the concept of
levity
number five yellow jacket are you the
names yellow jacket for every hero there
must be a villain and thus for every ant
there has to be a yellow jacket
specifically actor Corey Stoll has been
cast as Darren cross who in this
incarnation takes on the mantle of the
super villain yellow jacket you tried to
hide your suit from me now it’s gonna
blow up in your face in the film cross
is a former student of Hank Pym who
takes over PIMs company and uses the
ant-man technology to create a yellow
and black variant of the armor similar
power sets similar insect themes we’re
here to see what happens when yellow
jacket and ant-man eventually collide
number four a grand heist my days of
breaking into places and stealing stuff
each Marvel film has relied on the
structure of a genre and in a way this
is no different I want you to break into
a place and steal some stuff Kevin Feige
has said that ant-man will fit the mold
of a heist movie interesting considering
that the comic version of Scott Lang
started as a bank robber
not dealing with some common thief
there’s a twist to this however the
film’s version of Hank Pym is endorsing
Lang’s criminal activities in the hopes
of stealing back his research before
it’s used with ill intent imagine a
soldier the size of an insect
the ultimate secret weapon this kind of
necessary evil can be interesting if
done right and we certainly hope it pays
off are you ready to become the hero
number three the technical side of
things you give that like powers to
everyone it’s going to be chaos thanks
to advancements in filmmaking ant-man’s
powers can now be conveyed in full
co-producer Brad winter balm has
mentioned that in order to portray
shrinking characters they will be using
macro photography for extreme close-ups
on objects making small places look epic
and enormous in scope
motion capture is then used to insert
Paul Rudd and other actors into these
environments allowing the filmmakers to
construct scenes accordingly supplies to
say it’s going to be quite the
impressive setup
number two new draft so how do we stop
him I know a guy
scripts have a tendency to change with
the project so when Edgar Wright
departed the decision was made to alter
his existing script enter Adam McKay
known for his work on Saturday Night
Live and various comedy films this
experienced writer director went about
altering and adding details to the
script with assistance from Paul Rudd
himself Paisley jigs got an invite I’d
like to extend you away the duo has
stated that while certain characters and
scenes have been reworked the original
script written by Wright and Cornish
remained the film’s framework asset to
change the name before we unveil our top
pick here are a few honorable mentions
everything is achievable through
technology
number one end of the line I’ve been
watching you for a while now
you’re different originally ant-man was
set to commence phase three of Marvel
Cinematic Universe leaving Avengers age
of Ultron as the conclusion to Phase two
there’s only one path to peace Kevin
Feige announced in October 2014 that
ant-man would instead be the sixth and
final film in phase two claiming that
it’s focused on Hank Pam’s lineage and
the themes of heroes rising from
unexpected situations was linked to the
decision whatever the case it makes us
eager to see the end result Diamondback
saving our world it’s about saving
Pierce do you agree with our list I quit
what detail about the production of
ant-man got you excited show me how to
punch
for more varying size to top 10s
