On
July 17, Marvel's current cinematic phase will end with the premiere of
director Peyton Reed's Ant-Man, and at this point Marvel's ant-sized hero seems
like he exists in his own world. However, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige says
that the character is very important, as he will help set the tone for phase 3,
which will start on May 6, 2016 with Captain America: Civil War.
"It
is not [an after-thought]," said
Feige of Ant-Man. "The truth is the phases mean a
lot to me and some people but…Civil
War is the
start of Phase Three. It just is. And Ant-Man is a different kind of
culmination of Phase Two because it very much is in the Marvel Cinematic
Universe."
He continued, "You meet new characters and you learn about Hank Pym and his lineage with the MCU over the years. But at the same time, it also picks up the thread of Age of Ultron in terms of heroes – major heroes, Avengers – coming from unexpected places. Whether it’s prison in the case of Scott Lang or being a very disgruntled Sokovian Twins as Wanda and Pietro are inAge of Ultron. And in that way it connects a lot. Also, Hank Pym’s attitude towards Avengers, towards S.H.I.E.L.D, and kind of the cinematic universe in general, is much more informed after Age of Ultron events, and in a certain way, before the events of Civil War."
Set for release in the United States on July 17, 2015, the film is directed
by Peyton Reed (“Bring it On,” “The Break-Up”) and stars Paul Rudd (“I Love You
Man,” “Role Models”) as Scott Lang aka Ant-Man, and Michael Douglas (“Behind
The Candelabra,” “Wall Street”) as his mentor Dr. Hank Pym and Evangeline Lilly
(“The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug,” “Lost”) as Hope Van Dyne, daughter of
Hank Pym.
