On Saturday, Comicbook.com attended a press conference for the Ant-Man movie at the Disney Studios lot. Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige shared some of the reasoning behind the Ant-Man movie, and how the film differs from Avengers: Age of Ultron. Feige said, ” Well, you know clearly Ant-Man, in the comics, is a founding member of the Avengers. I’ve said that we have a big, giant poster of the Avengers #1 in all the various offices we’ve had over the years, and I love looking at that and checking off “that person has been in a movie now”, “made a movie about that person”, “and about that person”.
[Ant-Man] and the Wasp are the two that have been the longest that we haven’t done anything with and so it was always clear that we were going to assemble all the Avengers eventually. And it also was interesting to do a movie, that plays with scale and plays with action in a very different way than we have ever done before. And it is, I’m sure you all have heard me say many, many times, I like it when all of our films are unique and all are different and all of them can surprise people.
Now this is our 12th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, so it felt time to do something even more unique and even more different, which I think these people managed.”
