Movies: Bringing The Costumes To Life On “Ant-Man And The Wasp”

Clothes may make the man, but an extraordinary suit makes for a spectacular Marvel Studios’ “Ant-Man and The Wasp.” These two unique heroes need very unique suits—shrinking and growing means movability is a factor—and it needs to look good no matter what size realm you reside in.

Head of Specialty Costume Ivo Coveney worked on the first Marvel Studios’ “Ant Man,” and found the experience so rewarding, he was happy to come back for “Ant-man and The Wasp.”

The very first Ant-Man suit was very simple noting the feel of a motorcycle suit with futuristic elements. “Now when you look at the helmet, it’s just refined…. It’s a massive change between what we did on the first one to ‘Captain America: Civil War.’ And then from ‘Civil War’ to this; it’s just refinements and cleaned up and, and honing down,” described Coveney about how they came to the fine-tuned version for “Ant-Man and The Wasp.”

About Marvel Studios' “Ant-Man and The Wasp”

From the Marvel Cinematic Universe comes “Ant-Man and the Wasp,” a new chapter featuring heroes with the astonishing ability to shrink. In the aftermath of “Captain America: Civil War,” Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) grapples with the consequences of his choice as both a Super Hero and a father. As he struggles to rebalance his home life with his responsibilities as Ant-Man, he’s confronted by Hope van Dyne (Evangeline Lilly) and Dr. Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) with an urgent new mission. Scott must once again put on the suit and learn to fight alongside the Wasp as the team works together to uncover secrets from the past.

“Ant-Man and the Wasp” is directed by Peyton Reed and stars Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lilly, Michael Pena, Walton Goggins, Bobby Cannavale, Judy Greer, Tip “T.I.” Harris, David Dastmalchian, Hannah John Kamen, Abby Ryder-Forston, Randall Park, with Michelle Pfeiffer, with Laurence Fishburne, and Michael Douglas.

Movies: “Ant-Man And The Wasp” Connects Directly With “Avengers 4”

Producer Kevin Feige says Scott Lang, Hope Van Dyne are very important characters to what happens next in the MCU

Don’t look now, but it appears “Ant-Man and The Wasp,” aka Scott Lang and Hope Van Dyne, will have a major influence in the resolution of the events after last April’s “Avengers: Infinity War.”

In a recent featurette released by Marvel Studios (https://youtu.be/tn9uHjqeqFQ) , Feige declares, “Ant-Man and The Wasp also directly connects to `Avengers 4.’ These characters are going to be very important going forward.”

Meanwhile, director Peyton Reed also shared his thoughts on how the Marvel Cinematic Universe was incorporated into “Ant-Man and The Wasp.”

Movie Review: Ant-Man And The Wasp

In the continuing expansion of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, we have come to know and love what would have been considered as obscure heroes who would have remained unknown to the masses and one of them is Scott Lang's "Ant-Man". 

After a successful origin movie a few years ago, Paul Rudd's take on the "small but terrible" hero has been welcomed by a new generation of fans and if you liked the first movie, with it's crazy cast of characters, the tummy ache comedy and all the possibilities of it's science fiction then you will definitely enjoy it's sequel.

The film opens with Scott on house arrest after his little adventure in Germany with "Cap" (AKA Captain America and #TeamCap) during the events of "Civil War" in violation of th Sokovia accords and it's days before he is finally released and is looking forward to that freedom after endless days of entertaining himself through video games, show reruns and ugly crying over Young Adult books. 

Of course as the day of his freedom approaches so does trouble in the form of "Ghost"  (Ava Foster) personified by the beautifully broken Hannah John-Kamen and the Southern criminal Sonny Bursh (Walton Goggins) who both want Hank Pym's portable lab, where he and his daughter, Hope Van Dyne (Evangeline Lily) AKA "The Wasp" have been working on a project that will  bring his wife Janet Van Dyne (Michelle Pfeiffer) back from the Quantum Realm.   

Scott is drawn back into the thick of things when he has a dream about Janet and it turns out it might actually be more than a dream and he just might be what Hope and Hank need to get to Janet before she is lost forever. 

Ant-Man and The Wasp is a welcome reprieve from the dark and heavy events of Avengers: Infinity War, and is confident in a cheeky kind of way, more so than its predecessor and will continue to impress audiences with new tricks up its sleeves, with two heroes who can shrink and blow up to massive sizes in a split second and an antagonist who can phase through solid objects, the possibilities are endless. 

Ghost is an interesting villain as she is not out to destroy  the world but merely on the move to look out for herself and she is not exactly a villain per say and John-Kamen delivers an impressive performance and her phasing out silhouette -just beautiful!   

I was actually worried that the climax was not leading up to a big exciting sequence but was relieved to have a thrilling and hilarious car chase and it was nice to see one of the MCU's break out stars Micheal Peña have an absolutely great time playing the lovable, dub-smash talkative Luis. 

I just thought that the cop comedy and parole officer relationship between Scott and Agent Wu (the obliviously hilarious Randall Park) was a a tad bit trying hard comedy, I was also a bit disappointed with Laurence Fishburne's minimal screen time as Bill Foster. I would have wanted to have seen some "Goliath action" even as a flashback. I just felt that there was wasted opportunity there. 

A delightful sequel, which scales up in size while keeping the same charm from its well loved cast of CRAZY characters and the easy comedy. It also expands on the myth and science of the "Quantum realm" while opening up a world of possibilities in a smaller universe. We've already come to love the characters and we get to love them all over again, trust me you'll end up in stitches from laughing (Paul Rudd + Michelle Pfeifer mild meld!) and you will enjoy the well balanced action sequences with the magic of special effects + that post credit scene.....!!! Wow! 

7.5/10 - "Ant-Man And The Wasp" is now showing in cinemas. 

Movies: Evangeline Lilly Is Ready For Action As Hope Van Dyne In Marvel Studios' “Ant-Man And The Wasp”

Evangeline Lilly returns to her role of brilliant quantum physicist Hope van Dyne. While she’s as focused and determined as ever, a very different Hope van Dyne emerges in Marvel Studios’ “Ant-Man and The Wasp.”

Now a fugitive with her father, Hank Pym (Michael Douglas), the brilliant scientist has used her time in hiding to master her new role as The Wasp, but she isn’t quite ready to team up with Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) for their most important mission ever. But reuniting her family depends on it, so she is forced to seek his help.

Lilly was over the moon knowing that the next installment of the “Ant-Man” story line would introduce The Wasp. “I was excited to play Hope again for so many reasons,” comments Lilly. “In ‘Ant-Man’ she went through this enormous emotional arc. So it was exciting to have the chance to go back to this character and play her in a new space, a space where she is more at ease in her own skin and more at ease in her relationship with her father.”

Paul Rudd Scales Up: Scott Lang’s Heroism Looms Large In Marvel Studios' “Ant-Man And The Wasp”

For Scott Lang, there’s no shrinking from responsibility when it comes to family. 

When we last saw Scott Lang in Marvel Studios’ “Ant-Man,” he was trying to go straight for the good of his daughter Cassie. Now three years later, Marvel Studios’ “Ant-Man and The Wasp” will allow us to find out if Scott stayed on that path for the good of his family.

Paul Rudd, who reprises the role of Scott Lang/Ant-Man in Marvel Studios’ “Ant-Man and The Wasp,” reassures  that Scott is still doing the best he can. While that gives the fans hope, you never know when it comes to the Marvel Cinematic Universe; there’s always a super villain out there who tends to bend things to their will.

When it came to stepping back into the shoes of the reluctant Super Hero facing the unimaginable, Rudd took on a singular approach. “One of the things that I really like about playing this character is that Scott is thrown into these extraordinary circumstances of shrinking and flying around on ants and dealing with life-threatening situations,” says Rudd. “I’ve always tried to sustain his way of dealing with everything with a sense of humor and a carefree attitude. I think it gives an audience a fun ride to see somebody like Scott Lang take in all of this craziness. So, for me, that’s fun to play.”

Movies: Family And Far-Out Fun In Marvel Studios' “Ant-Man And The Wasp”

From the Marvel Cinematic Universe comes the next film to feature the adventures of Ant-Man, “Ant-Man and The Wasp,” which debuts his long-awaited ally, The Wasp.

While audiences were primed for the next film in the “Ant-Man” franchise, everyone was thrown a gigantic curveball by Ant-Man’s appearance in “Captain America: Civil War.” Ant-Man joining the fray with Cap and the Avengers firmly planted him within the Super Hero family, albeit a fractured, dysfunctional one. But, more importantly for Marvel aficionados, it also provided the setting for the splashy debut of Giant-Man, the oversized incarnation of our Super Hero.

“What’s exciting about ‘Ant-Man and The Wasp,’” says producer Kevin Feige, “is it’s really a sequel to two movies. It’s a follow-up to ‘Ant-Man,’ while also showing the aftermath of ‘Captain America: Civil War.’ For me, there’s a tremendous amount of excitement when you’re able to tell stories like this and combine characters from their origin movies and then layer in their appearances from other movies. Because of this strategy, Ant-Man post-‘Civil War’ has now been exposed to a much bigger audience.”
