With all the other wonderful, fanboy dizzying news churning out of the Marvel Universe these days (the kick-ass "Age of Ultron" trailer and Benedict Cumberbatch being cast as Dr. Strange...which I called right here), the "Ant Man" film that's currently shooting has become something of a red-headed step-child. It's had a rather tumultuous development, and many people lost interest and/or confidence when director Edgar Wright ("Shaun of the Dead" "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World") bailed on the project just before shooting began.
Today, several set pics have hit the Internet and they do look very intriguing. The pictures show Michael Douglas as Dr. Hank Pym and Evangeline Lilly as Hope Van Dyne, Pym's daughter. Lilly's hair has something of a "Wasp-ish" bob to it, which is cool and some sort of foreshadowing, I'm sure. Douglas,as Pym, appears to be injured in these pics, so SPOILER ALERTS are in full effect. Thanks to Screen Rant for the tip.
Check out the pics below:
The official synopsis for "Ant Man" is as follows:
"Armed with the astonishing ability to shrink in scale but increase in strength, con-man Scott Lang must embrace his inner hero and help his mentor, Dr. Hank Pym, protect the secret behind his spectacular Ant Man suit from a new generation of towering threats. Against seemingly insurmountable obstacles, Pym and Lang must plan and pull off a heist that will save the world. Directed by Peyton Reed, Ant-Man stars Paul Rudd, Michael Douglas, Corey Stoll, Evangeline Lilly, David Dastmalchian, Michael Pena, Bobby Cannavale, Abby Ryder Fortson, Judy Greer, Wood Harris, John Slattery and Gregg Turkington with multi-hyphenate T.I., and the film will release July 17, 2015."
