Ant-Man Begins Production

Director Peyton Reed announces on Twitter that it's time get small.

On Twitter today, Peyton Reed, the director of the upcoming Ant-Man film, which has been through some tough times since Marvel has tried to make it, had this to say.

Fans can finally rejoice because Ant-Man is actually underway! While there have been doubters of whether or not Ant-Man would work as a film, most of the skepticism has gone away after seeing Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy do exceptionally well, for a movie about a group of space-misfits and a talking tree based off of second-tier Marvel characters.

Ant-Man will star Paul Rudd as Scott Lang, Michael Douglas as Hank Pym, Evangeline Lily as Hope Van Dyne, and The Strain's Corey Stoll as Darren Cross/Yellowjacket. What do you guys think about this upcoming film and its characters?

Ant-Man is schedules to hit theaters on July 17th, 2-15.

The worst Marvel movie so far was Thor 2 and that was even watchable though not so great. The MCU has put out a couple of 5 star movies, which is pretty rare for me a non-cinephile, so I tend to give anything they work on the benefit of the doubt. Plus Evangeline Lilly as the Wasp will be awesome.

I am genuinely excited for this movie. Marvel Studios has not yet made a bad movie. All I ask is for just one MCU Movie where the primary antagonist survives past the end credits. Marvels is doing a great job at filling out their roster of film heroes but they've got what 3 maybe 4 villains that don't bite the dust by the end? I mean its great to see bad people get what's coming to them but part of the reason comics can be so great is the rivalry between a hero and a villain and that's something that I feel is missing in the MCU.

I'll give it a chance since you know, IT'S NOT OUT YET. I like the casting choice and I'm not attached to Edgar Wright, so his departure doesn't affect me.

Yes, I come from the year 2025, ant-man bombs at the Box office and it will be universally hated. :)

I stop being optimistic about this film when I realized:

No Janet

and the studio was hell-bent on finding a comedy director.

I have absolutely no reason to doubt Marvel Studios on any film they make at this point. Since they dumped Edgar Wright, I still firmly believe it was for the best if they didn't like how it was progressing.

I'm not a fan of the changes and so far this is the only movie that's worried me after Edgar's departure, but everything I disliked (the changes) were really on Edgar to begin with so I need to just go into this movie thinking of it as it's own thing and let comics be comics and the MCU be the MCU.

I hope that this movie is a big surprise hit and cements memorable place for Scott Lang in marvel history without diminishing Hank's.

I'll see the movie a little while after it comes out but I am pessimistic. There's already been a bunch of changes pre-production and the script already had a big rewrite since Edgar Wright hopped off the film. I wonder how Ant-Man is going to tie in with the Avengers in the future since Tony Stark is the one creating Ultron.

I think that of all the Marvel movies, this is the first one that I am not actively excited for. It just seems to have flailed a bit since Edgar Wright left.

Honestly, it looked like it was going to derail way before that...

It's only NOW entering production?!

It's a good time to be a special effects house. I'm sure they'll be farming out a lot of work to a lot of places at monstrous prices in order to hit their release date.

@theamazingimmortalman: To each their own. I didn't mind the courtroom scene but I did feel that generally this was the weakest of the Iron Man movies. I also feel that Tony was at his least likable and sympathetic in this movie.

First Avenger had its problems but I actually really like that movie. It doesn't hold up against Winter Soldier at ALL but it's one of my favourite Marvel movies overall.

I still liked the First Avenger, I bought it on Blu Ray these days you don't but dvd/bluray unless you like it due to online sites lol I agree IM2 was the weakest of the three but I still loved it

@wardishy: I wouldn't call it a disappointment, but I freely admit IM2 wasn't as good as the first or third installments. I largely blame editing as the major malefactor.

@theacidskull: it has a good chance of doing that at the box office next year just on the grounds that they have 11 months to get the movie ready for theater release and NO major company can put out a good movie in less than a year

@wardishy: I actually really liked IM2 a lot and the courtroom scene which a lot of people did not like I enjoyed. I would say the only movie from Marvel Studios that left me wanting more from it was CA: The First Avenger.

I for one, am excited for this, it's like the opposite of Guardians, I didn't care about the film at all, but everyone else seemed to be eager to see it.
