During a set visit to the ANT-MAN set, MTV spoke to Kevin Feige about bringing the tiny hero to the big screen. The Marvel Studios executive producer talked about why they felt the need to bring Hank Pym and Scott Lang’s alter-ego into the ever expanding universe.
“He’s an Avenger. He and Wasp are on the cover of that first issue of ’Avengers’.” Feige continued, “I don’t know if they’re around here, but in the offices at Disney, we have big blow-ups of ’Avengers’ #1, and I just love the fact that each of those characters are finally coming to life — and two more will be heading there in this movie.”
He confirmed that Janet Van Dyne would be in the movie, though in classic Feige style, he wasn’t giving too much away.
“She factors in a number of spoiler-ish ways. But we will see Janet van Dyne in action in this film, and sort of what happened to her.”
Unfortunately, that was all he would say on the subject, not wanting to comment any further on that “two more” comment, but with not too long before the film’s release, we won’t have to wonder much longer.
ANT-MAN will be released in cinemas on 17th July 2015, and stars Paul Rudd, Michael Douglas, Evangeline Lilly and Corey Stoll.
