Russo Brothers Confirms Wasp Was Almost In Civil War

Russo Brothers Confirms Wasp Was Almost In Civil War

, , 0

One of the big reasons Civil War worked in the comics was that almost every superhero (and certain villains) had to choose a side to fight on in the event. With Captain America: Civil War, the scale is toned down a lot, but there are still a lot of heroes fighting. In fact, there was going to be one more addition in the form of Evangiline Lilly as The Wasp, making her superhero debut as the Russo Brothers reveal to Collider: “You know, almost everybody made it in,” said Markus. “There was a period where we talked about bringing Wasp in. There was actually a draft Wasp was in because she was so almost on the edge of being in ‘Ant-Man,’ but then you’re taking something awesome out of the ‘Ant-Man’ team’s quiver if it’s like, ‘Well, we’re doing her!’ Plus she had a similar skill set, so it’s like ‘Well, maybe we just isolate it to Scott.’” “When you see the movie, you see that Scott is his own

Wasp Could Get Solo Film According To Ant-Man Writer

The desire, and possibly need, to get more female characters into the true leading spotlight for both Marvel and DC is all too apparent. DC has a small lead as they’re bringing Wonder Woman to theaters next year, and Supergirl has her own TV show. Marvel though has Agent Carter on TV, and is bringing Captain Marvel to theaters. But for Marvel, the first headline female lead will be Hope Van Dyne, aka the Wasp. Who debuted in last years Ant-Man, and will share a movie with him in 2018. When asked by IGN whether The Wasp might get her own solo film, he responded thusly: “Possibly. I think it all depends on this sequel and how the character plays. Certainly there’s a lot of female superheroes in the Marvel universe so I’m sure you’re going to see them start to spread out. They sort of started with their kind of bedrock characters from the 60s and the 70s and I think you saw more of an explosion of female

Ant-Man and The Wasp To Be “Different Genre”?

The Ant-Man movie, while not a mega-blockbuster, still did incredibly well at the box office. Leading to a very quick sequel coming in the form of Ant-Man and The Wasp. The movie, according to director Peyton Reed, will be very different in tone and style to the original. “I think there’s probably going to be some aspects that maybe call back to the tone of this movie, but for Ant-Man and the Wasp, we have an entirely different template,” Reed told CBR. “We know what that template is, and we have an entirely different genre template for that movie. But it’s going to remain a surprise. But yes, that’s already been decided.” Reed also noted the possible return of screenwriter Adam McKay, confirming he’ll be “back in some capacity,” along with production writers Andrew Barrer and Gabriel Ferrari. “A lot of it has to do with his schedule on The Big Short because he’s promoting that movie,” he said of McKay’s return. “We talked about Ant-Man, and he’s psyched to

Peyton Reed Explains Why Ant-Man Sequel Is Called “Ant-Man and The Wasp”

One of the big surprises from New York Comic Con was easily that not only was Ant-Man (which arrived this year to decent box office numbers) getting a sequel, in 2018 no less, but it’s billing was shifted so that The Wasp would be in the name. So, why the sudden shift? Well, Director Peyton Reed talked to Yahoo and explained that the reasoning was incredibly natural: “It just happened to be organic for the characters of Ant-Man and Wasp, [so] it worked,” Reed began while talking to Yahoo. “Her last line in the movie — ‘It’s about damn time’ — [is] very much about her specific character and arc in that movie, but it is absolutely about a larger thing. It’s about damn time: We’re going to have a fully realized, very very complicated hero in the next movie who happens to be a woman.” Reed also notes that the fun of sequels is the ability to grow the world that he started to build: “I think one of

Ant-Man and the Wasp Movie Added to Marvel Phase 3, Captain Marvel Delayed

Ant-Man and the Wasp Movie Added to Marvel Phase 3, Captain Marvel Delayed

Marvel Studios’ Phase 3 is going through some more changes. Earlier today, Marvel Entertainment officially announced an Ant-Man sequel for Marvel’s Phase 3 of movies, which will also feature The Wasp. The new movie, dubbed Ant-Man and the Wasp, is due out in theaters on July 6, 2018. Paul Rudd, who is also set to reprise his role of Scott Lang aka Ant-Man in 2016’s Captain America: Civil War, will return as Ant-Man alongside Evangeline Lily as Hope Van Dyne aka The Wasp. This is based off of one of Ant-Man’s prologues, in which Hope’s father, Hank Pym, bequeaths his daughter with a new Wasp prototype suit, so she can carry on the mantle from her mother, Janet. Obviously, this is not the only change to Phase 3. Ant-Man and the Wasp is taking Black Panther’s previous July 2018 release date. So what happens to T’Challa now as Black Panther? Marvel has now opted to move Black Panther up for a February 16, 2018 release date. The unfortunate part of

Ant-Man Escapes Pixels to Reclaim Box Office Top Spot

Ant-Man Escapes Pixels to Reclaim Box Office Top Spot

And so the curious case of Ant-Man continues. Last week, it got the No.1 spot, however, it was the second lowest Marvel opening of all time. Many were curious how it would do in its second week. Well, it did get the top spot once again, but the drop off was steep. In addition, it nearly lost to runner-up Pixels, a critically panned movie. According to Rentrak, Ant-Man made $24.8 million dollars over the weekend. For the record, that’s a 57 percent drop off from its first weekend. Domestically, Ant-Man has only made $106 million. I know that doesn’t sound bad, but in comparison to other Marvel films, especially recent Marvel Cinematic universe films, it’s not much. To be fair, the movie has made $120 million in the overseas box office, so that’ll help it in the long run. You have to wonder though, especially with certain “not well known” Marvel properties on the way (Black Panther, Captain Marvel, Doctor Strange), will they follow the same path as Ant-Man? Or will they surprise

Ant-Man Review

Marvel has a very interesting challenge underway in regards to their movies. Their core heroes (the original Avengers team) are established, or have had several movies. Knowing that those actors or actresses won’t be around forever, they need to expand their hero roster. So they’re branching out and making movies on characters that many people who don’t know comics might not know about. This started with Guardians of the Galaxy last year, and now Marvel and Disney have released Ant-Man. In this Ant-Man review, I will keep spoilers to a minimum. Ant-Man is the story of Scott Lang, an ex-con who’s wanting to try and do right by both himself and his daughter Cassie (who comic fans will note becomes a hero herself one day). For Lang, everything changes when he’s contacted after a heist by Dr. Hank Pym, a genius who is actually the keeper of one of the greatest secrets in the world, the Pym Particles. The Pym Particles are so powerful, they can shrink and enlarge objects in the blink

Ant-Man Wins the Box Office, But Has Second Lowest Marvel Studios Opening Ever

Ant-Man Wins the Box Office, But Has Second Lowest Marvel Studios Opening Ever

Over the weekend, the biggest question was once again, “Could Marvel continue its run with its newest film Ant-Man?” Even more than Guardians of the Galaxy, Ant-Man was seen as the biggest risk Marvel has taken in regards to introducing new characters. Ant-Man is only known by those who read comics (or watch cartoons in which he was featured in) and even then, the idea of a shrinking, ant-controlling, superhero is kind of weird for the casual audience. Well, the good news is, that Ant-Man did indeed get No.1 at the box office this weekend, even in the face of tough competition such as Trainwreck and last week’s champion Minions. However, the total for the weekend was a bit lower than many analysts expected. According to RenTrak, the film made $58 million over the weekend, which a good total for many films. However, for a Marvel film? It’s actually the lowest opening for Marvel Studios since The Incredible Hulk all the way back in 2008. And if you recall, Guardians of the Galaxy last year made $94

Warning! There is a spoiler from Ant-Man in this article! If you’re trying to avoid those, look away now. You have been warned. So, it was revealed in a recent TV spot that Falcon (Anthony Mackie) would be arriving in a scene for Marvel’s Ant-Man movie. Many, including myself, thought this was simply going to be a connector to Civil War, which is when Ant-Man (Paul Rudd) will appear next. However, for those who saw the movie, we got something much cooler. We got to see Ant-Man vs. Falcon fight! So how did that come into play? Director Peyton Reed told Comic Book Resources: “That was something that wasn’t in the original drafts. [Screenwriters] Adam McKay and Paul [Rudd, who also stars in the title role] and I bonded on the idea that in a heist movie one of those tropes is before the big heist, everything’s set, but there’s this one piece of technology, this one thing we need in order to pull off the heist. If we don’t have this thing, all

Only a couple weeks ahead of its release, the  buzz and anticipation are building for Marvel’s next film, Ant-Man, which stars Paul Rudd. Of all the Marvel movies, this is the one that’s had a lot of turmoil behind the scenes, yet the movie is done, and ready for fans to see it. One “fan” that has seen it is Guardians of the Galaxy writer and director James Gunn. After seeing Ant-Man, he took to Facebook and gave the following glowing recommendation for Marvel Studios’ latest film: “Ant-Man may just be my favorite Marvel film since Jon Favreau’s Iron Man (well, maybe excluding one film to which I’m partial). Honestly, the movie is a complete blast! I was so happy after seeing it. It’s never boring for a second and it’s hilarious and warm throughout. It doesn’t get caught up in the webbing of its own science-fiction concept like so many movies do these days, remaining simple and elegant. It’s a part of the Marvel universe without being ruled by that fact.

In less than three weeks, Marvel Studios’ latest, cinematic superhero extravaganza, Ant-Man, will hit theaters. As such, Marvel and Disney will be stepping up the promotional machine for the film. With that, a brand new clip for the film has been released online, showing star Paul Rudd in action and in costume as the hero Ant-Man aka Scott Lang. You can check out the brand new clip in the player below. The clip features Scott Lang after putting on the suit and testing out the abilities granted by the Pym particles. Lang soon finds himself micro-sized in the middle of a bathtub. Soon, one of Lang’s friends turns on the tub, not knowing Lang is in it. Lang soon starts receiving radio communications from the voice of one Hank Pym (Michael Douglas). And so the new Ant-Man faces his first trial by fire, or water, as Hank Pym puts it. The next evolution of the Marvel Cinematic Universe brings a founding member of The Avengers to the big screen for

Will The Wasp Be In Ant-Man?

Marvel’s Ant-Man has been in production for a while, and it’s gone through a number of changes. Some changes that fans didn’t support were that A) Ant-Man didn’t create Ultron (even though it’s a big part of his comic history, instead they gave it to Stark and Banner) and B) that Hank Pym along with his wife Janet Van Dyne weren’t going to be in the Avengers. For many fans, this was a huge blow, as Hank and Janet were part of the original Avengers team, and to be more or less pushed away made it seem like Marvel didn’t care about the history these two have had in the comics. We do know that Hank did marry Janet in the upcoming Ant-Man movie, and that they have a daughter who calls herself Hope Van Dyne, after her mother. But what happened to Janet aka The Wasp? Well, Marvel Studios President Kevin Fiege spoke to MTV and said the following statement: “She factors in a number of spoiler-ish ways, but we will see Janet van
