So far the connective tissue that holds Marvel's
Cinematic Universe together are the Infinity Gems and the perils that accompany
them, but also the relationships it forges, so when Joss Whedon revealed that
unlike in the comics, Hank Pym, aka Ant-Man wouldn't be Ultron's "father"
in the Avengers sequel, many fans started scratching their heads trying to
figure out how the ant-sized hero would tie-into Marvel's plan.
Well according to Marvel Studios president Kevin
Feige, and star Paul Rudd, Ant-Man will punch his way into the MCU.
KEVIN FEIGE: Ant-Man is one of the best examples of how a
movie can do both. It’s absolutely a stand-alone film about Hank Pym and Scott
Lang, but it is within this universe.
PAUL RUDD: Essentially, this is a heist film, and if
you look at the structure of heist films, there is always a test run and the
test run fails. In talking about what could be a good test run, we were just
playing around with conversations and thought, “Oh my God, what if he actually
fought an Avenger?” We started getting really giddy about this idea. It seemed
like that would be a fun way to incorporate the universe into this film.
Ant-Man pulls double-duty in Marvel's
shared universe. It has to tie Phase Two, but also has to set up Phase Three.
FEIGE: But the truth is, there is so much in Ant-Man:
introducing a new hero, introducing a very important part of technology in the
Marvel universe, the Pym particles. Ant-Man getting on the Avengers’ radar in
this film and even – this is the weirdest part, you shouldn’t really talk about
it because it won’t be apparent for years – but the whole notion of the quantum
realm and the whole notion of going to places that are so out there, they are
almost mind-bendingly hard to fathom. It all plays into
Phase Three.
Ant-Man is schedule to open
on July 17.
