Edgar Wright teases us with a glimpse of Ant-Man’s old suit

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

Edgar Wright has been revealing as much as he can regarding ANT-MAN including some glimpses at the set and behind the scenes via Twitter and his website. Aside from some test shots of the same ANT-MAN gear seen in the test footage he revealed at Comic Con a few years ago, Wright has shown us a mysterious new image via his blog.

The hazy image appears to be a pair of action figures wearing the old Jack Kirby style ANT-MAN costume which may be part of the cardboard sets he is using to storyboard the movie. With the retro style in the design, I would assume this is a mock-up of Michael Douglas‘ Hank Pym costume in the flashback sequences while Paul Rudd will use the redesigned costume for the modern day Scott Lang sequences.

Either way, seeing that Edgar Wright is embracing Marvel’s past and present is refreshing and exciting. The closest we have had to retro in the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER taking place back in the 1940s. Hell, maybe we will see some references to that time period in ANT-MAN.

ANT-MAN opens July 31, 2015.
