Ant-Man Director Confirms Cassie Lang; Talks Story Arcs & Ants


Director Peyton Reed's first Marvel movie, Ant-Man seams to be a big departure (not unlike other Marvel movies) from its source material, but while it looks like we will have a different Hank Pym, and Janet Van Dyne, it seams that we will see a more or less faithful adaptation of the Scott Lang's character, played by Paul Rudd.

While at SDCC Screen Rant tracked down Reed confirmed that Lang's daughter, Cassie, would be appearing in the upcoming film.

The thematic arc is really like a sort of passing of the torch movie. I mean the idea of Michael Douglas, and Paul Rudd are playing this kind of bent mentor and pupil.

Paul Rudd's character is an ex-con, he's a thief, that's appealing to me, so it has that aspect, and it also has the structure like a heist movie, which is really good, and there is also a real personal dynamic to the movie too. In the comics Scott Lang has a daughter, and that's part of the movie too. In terms of the character dynamics that are going on that really appealed to me.”

The director also spoke about having a character that commands an army of ants.

You see the Ant-Man poster and stuff, and you go like – Ants?! What would you do if you could command an army of ants or fly on an ant? - and I think the movie is going to answer that question. The great thing about ants is that...he has created the helmet where he can control them, and it's like mobilizing an army, and they can have access to certain places that we wouldn't be able to, or the flying around...it's almost like being invisible, just being able to get somewhere without being noticed.”

Ant-Man stars Paul Rudd, Michael Douglas, Evangeline Lilly, and Corey Stoll.
