"Ant-Man" Crawling To The Big Screen - July 31, 2015



Take another look @ live-action test footage of Marvel Comics superhero "Ant-Man", from director Edgar Wright, submitted to Marvel Studios, securing a greenlight to write and direct a multi-million dollar adaptation, to be released by Disney July 31, 2015, launching "Phase Three" of the 'Marvel Cinematic Universe'.


"I’m starting doing pre-production on 'Ant-Man' in October, then shooting next year..." said Wright.


"In October, I'm going to start a script, which has existed in some form since 2007...it's great to kind of come back into something, which is in good shape...so that's exciting..."


'Ant-Man' was created in 1962 by writer Stan Lee and illustrator Jack Kirby for Marvel's "Tales to Astonish" #35.


Scientist 'Dr. Henry Pym' invented methods for an individual to be reduced in size, as well as a 'cybernetic' helmet to control insects with feelers, specifically ants.


The second Ant-Man was 'Scott Lang', a thief who reformed with the aid of Pym and 'Iron Man', becoming an affiliate of the Fantastic Four and full-time member of the 'Avengers'.


'Eric O'Grady', the third Ant-Man was a low-level agent of counter-terrorism organization 'S.H.I.E.L.D.', before he stole the Ant-Man armor "...to get chicks."


Director Wright, who researched 'nanotechnology' for his "Ant-Man" feature, plans to deliver "a full-on action adventure sci-fi film but with a comedic element", working from his own screenplay adaptation, co-written by Joe Cornish ("Attack The Block").


Both Pym and Lang will appear in Wright's film, with Pym as Ant-Man in his 1960's guise and a flashforward to the present with Lang as Ant-Man's successor.
