It feels like just yesterday when I talked about getting our first look at Paul Rudd in Ant Man. Well turns out USA Today got the exclusive scoop along with offering some more musings on the plot. Really seems like this heist is going to be the cornerstone of the film, and Scott Lang looks a little rough around the edges.
Directed by Peyton Reed, Ant-Man (in theaters July 17, 2015) began production in San Francisco Monday.
I dig it. Now I can’t wait to see him in the suit itself.
In Ant-Man, Lang is an ex-con and thief who finds a mentor figure in Dr. Hank Pym (Michael Douglas), a genius scientist and inventor of a technology that allows a man to shrink down to the size of an insect but also increase his strength.
When powerful forces — including Pym’s star employee Darren Cross (Corey Stoll), aka Yellowjacket — want the secret to the breakthroughs for their own nefarious uses, Pym passes the mantle — and helmeted supersuit — of Ant-Man to Lang and the two men plan an ambitious heist that if successful will save the world.
