Edgar Wright's Ant-Man Will Stand Out

The movie many fans have been waiting their entire lives to see, Edgar Wright's Ant-Man.  As we have watched The Avengers evolve together in a single film, there are a few characters that we can say have been missing from the mix.

Recently Edgar Wright told Entertainment Tonight how what he wants to do with the film and how he wants to surprise the audience.

"I want to make him into a badass [laughs].  No, I always like that comic and I always thought it would be an interesting thing to see in live-action.  That's why I [showed] that Comic-Con test that we did for Marvel, to show this fight scene like a proof of content, like this is what the action is going to be like.  I think a lot of people who maybe don't know the character sort of see that test and go, "Oh, right, I get it.  It's like an action film," so that's the idea.  I think people will be surprised by what kind of movie it is, and so in that respect it's something that I know is going to stand out because it's got a very different story and is a very different movie."

When asked about the tone of the film, whether if it'll have humor with action or straightforward, Wright says:

"Well, I think the Marvel movies are funny, you know? I think generally the Iron Man films and The Avengers is funny.  They're not ever in the comedy section, but they are funny and entertaining, so I think it'll be something in a similar vein to that."

With the Marvel adaptation already due to release four months sooner than it's initial release date, it won't be too far from the Avenger's sequel.

Although we know very little of the film, here's a little information about the Marvel Character:

Dr. Henry "Hank" Pym is a fictional character that appears in publications by Marvel Comics. Created by editor and plotter Stan Lee, scripter Larry Lieber and Penciler Jack Kirby, the character first appeared in Tales to Astonish #27 (Jan. 1962).  Pym's character, a scientist that debuted in a standalone science-fiction anthology story, returned several issues later as the superhero Ant-Man, with the power to shrink to the size of an insect.  Pym is eventually given a crime-fighting partner, Janet Van Dyne (Wasp) and goes on to assume other superhero identities, including the size-changing Giant-Man and Goliath; the insect-themed Yellowjacket; and briefly the Wasp.

Debuting in the Silver Age of Comic Books, the character of Henry Pym has featured in other Marvel-endorsed products such as animated films; arcade and video games; television series and merchandise such as action figures and trading cards. Henry Pym is a founding member of the superhero team the Avengers.

'Iron Man 3' New Details *Spoilers*

In recent news, Simon Philips, the President of Marvel Entertainment International, recently attended a presentation in São Paulo, Brazil. It was there, where he unloaded some very cool details for Shane Black's Iron Man 3, according to the Omelete.

Now before we jump right into it, I suggest you turn back now, because I am about to release some awesome details and spoilers!

                                                                    *****

                                                                 SPOILERS!

                                                                    *****

In the presentation, Phillips first began to speak about Tony Stark’s Extremis abilities in the film, where Robert Downey Jr. undergoes a medical procedure and injects himself with the Extremis virus. Extremis blurs the lines between Stark being a man vs. machine (a very important theme of the film). Also, the film is mostly based on Warren Ellis' miniseries, where Stark can interface with technology around him, and when it comes to his armor, he can summon pieces of his armor to himself at will, even from a distance.

Phillips also points out that Stark mixes and matches armor pieces from various different suits to come up with unique armor, making custom configurations. New designs with up to 16, and also included would be classic designs from Marvel Comics. 

Now this second spoiler, I'm going to bring it back to Comic Con 2012 during Marvel's Panel Presentation, where a fan asked if Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow) will ever wear her own armor suit, like the Rescue armor from the books.  That's when Marvel President of Production Kevin Feige responded “We all want to see Pepper Potts ‘kick a little ass’ in her own suit.”

Well I'm here to tell you that Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow ) will wear her own armor. Remember in the comics, Tony saved his beloved from a fate similar to his - the shrapnel threatening heart - giving her an armor called Redemption. Also before I leave you all here, I wanted to point out the image above, which was captured from one of the scenes in the trailer, maybe Pepper Potts?

Marvel Movie 'Ant-Man' Movie Gets Official Release Date

Walt Disney Pictures and Marvel Studios have set an official release date for the Ant-Man movie.Disney just updated their schedule of upcoming releases for the next three years.  On this list you see many movies, but at the bottom of the list was a very pleasant title which read:

ANT-MAN is now dated on 11/6/15 wide (Marvel)

There it is! Ant-Man will be helmed by Edgar Wright, British director and director Joe Cornish (Attack The Block).

Wright screened Ant-Man test footage at the San Diego Comic Con Festival in July (2012), He and Marvel President of Production Kevin Feige premiered an incomplete test footage of an Ant-Man action sequence to showcase the relatively miniature character and how his ability to alter his size could work in a live action film. The film will not begin shooting the movie until he completes The World's End, his latest project with Pegg.

Dr. Henry ‘Hank’ Pym – alter ego Ant-Man a brilliant scientist who invents a shrinking serum that makes him insect size. When he is Ant-Man he is able to solve mysteries and take out the bad guys!

"One day he discovered a process in which he would manipulate a newly discovered group of subatomic particles through magnetic fields. Pym tested the serums on himself, and had accidentally shrunk himself to the size of an ant and was trapped inside an anthill. Once normal sized, Pym destroyed the serums, thinking that they were too dangerous . He rethought his decision, and recreated the serums, dubbing them "Pym Particles" and developing a formula that would enable himself to shrink and return to normal size. He also worked on a cybernetic helmet to enable him to communicate and study ants." - Marvel

Although Ant-Man has never appeared on screen before, there are rumors that he could feature in The Avengers 2 before he stars in his own movie.

Mark Millar to Work on Fox's Marvel Upcoming Adaptation!

In recent news, Ultimate X-Men writer Mark Millar has been chosen to serve as a creative consultant for Twentieth Century Fox's upcoming projects based on Marvel Comics properties.  Comic Book movies keep rising to the top in Hollywood, it's like Comic book movies hit the movie jack pot, being that recently "Marvel Studios demonstrated that just like in the comics, separate stories and characters can be brought together in a shared, interconnected cinematic universe." - Rob Keyes

Twentieth Century Fox plans to do the same with the X-Men and Fantastic Four franchises and they’ve hired Mark Millar to be their very own mastermind on the future projects. He will help guide the future X-Men movies along with Josh Trank’s Fantastic Four reboot.

Upcoming for the studio is "The Wolverine," starring Hugh Jackman, directed by James Mangold; "X-Men: Days of Future Past," directed by Matthew Vaughn; and a reboot of Fantastic Four, to be directed by Josh Trank ("Chronicle").

Mark Millar, writer for The Ultimates and Marvel’s successful Civil War crossover as well as "Wolverine: Old Man Logan," is also founder of Millarworld (millarworld.tv), where he continues to develop existing film franchise titles Wanted and Kick-Ass, as well as newer comic properties The Secret Service, Superior and Nemesis.

Here is Millar's Official Statement:
“As someone who has spent his entire life obsessed with both comic books and movies, this is essentially my dream gig as it's a unique combination of both,” stated Millar. “I spent ten years working at Marvel and am really happy with the work I did on the comic side of things so the idea of working with these characters now in a brand new medium is enormously exciting for me. I really like the Fox team, love this bold new direction they have for their franchises and am proud to be working alongside some of modern cinema's biggest talents. James Mangold is incredible, Matthew Vaughn's one of my closest pals and Josh Trank gave us, in my opinion, one of the greatest superhero movies of the last decade with 'Chronicle.' The invitation to join this crew was maybe the coolest phone call I've ever had.”

The Wolverine hits theaters July 26, 2013.
X-Men: Days of Future Past hits theaters on July 18th, 2014.

Thanos will be featured in both "Guardians of the Galaxy" and "The Avengers 2"

There has been a lot of news regarding Marvel's mad titan, Thanos, in "Guardians of the Galaxy" and "The Avengers 2" involvement.  In recent news, Thanos will be featured in both films as the main villain.

The Tesseract, or the Cosmic Cube referred to as, became the main enchilada that drove the plot of The Avengers, putting together the characters we have met over the last few years in the films.  These characters went into battle against Loki and his army of alien invaders.  But as we learned that Loki was merely a servant to something greater.

Joss Whedon has got some big ideas, so Thanos might be a major part of them. Guardians of the Galaxy and Thor 2 will provide more insight into Thanos’ role – especially if  Odin’s vault is, indeed, robbed.   The Infinity Gauntlet in Odin’s vault, likely meant that Thanos’ appearance was confirmation of his central role in several future films. Marvel President of Production Kevin Feige talked about the fan reaction to Thanos on MTV's Splash page:

“There’s a great track record now about lobbing something in at the last moment to get the audience buzzing[...] Particularly when it came to Thanos, [we knew] that most people in that audience had no idea who that purple guy was — but they could clearly tell he was important, and knew if they asked the two or three people sitting next to them, somebody would know who he was.

“Clearly, there’s a purpose to us putting him in the end of that movie. We do have plans for him[...] I wouldn’t say we ever feel the need to rush anything one way or the other. We succeeded in Phase One because we stuck to our guns and stuck to the plan. That plan took place over many, many years and it ultimately paid off. I see Phase Two unfolding in the same way of us taking our time, us doing what’s right for each individual movie, while folding in elements that will not only build up to the culmination of Phase Two, but even Phase Three.”

It sounds like Marvel is going to prepare us for an all-out cosmic insanity! The full Marvel ‘Phase Two’ release schedule is as follows: Iron Man 3 hits theaters on May 3rd, 2013, Thor: The Dark World on November 8th, 2013, Captain America: The Winter Soldier on April 4th, 2014, Guardians of the Galaxy on August 1st, 2014, and The Avengers 2 on May 1st, 2015.

'Iron Man 3' Concept Art for Comic Con 2012

From Entertainment Weekly, this is our first look at Marvel Studio Concept Art for 'Iron Man 3' that is going to be displayed at Comic Con 2012.  The artwork is by Ryan Meinerding who has worked as a visual development supervisor on many big-budget heavily CG films.  Although not much is being revealed here, it features Tony Stark surrounded by unfriendly's with heavy machine guns and his armor only partially on.

Entertainment Weekly released a real good article so just click on the link above and read on, it's interesting on what we are seeing here and what we are not.  Marvel Studio's will be handing out posters on this concept art at San Diego Comic Con next week. 

Here is part of the article by Entertainment Weekly:

"No bracelet.  It’s well-known that Iron Man 3 is borrowing some plot points from the 2005-2006 comics series Extremis, by Warren Ellis and Adi Granov, in which a critically wounded Stark is injected with a serum that fuses his body to the armor. In that story, Stark says he wants “to wire the armor directly into my brain,” and the nanotechnology serum allows microscopic machines to live within his body. They form a control sheath so he can drawn the armor to his body at will."
