An Introduction To Marvel Studios Phase Two: Ant-Man
Marvel Studios ‘Phase Two’ is coming and some of you may be unfamiliar with what is coming so we are here to help. First off we are going to start with…
Ant-Man (TBA)
There have actually been three different men to wear the Ant Helmet. The first and most famous is Hank Pym, a brilliant scientist that discovers a form of subatomic particles that he dubs “Pym particles.” These particles allow him to shrink down to microscopic levels. After exploring his surroundings as a pint-sized adventurer, he develops a hi-tech helmet that allows him to telepathically control all ants. Eventually, Pym realizes that his particles work the other way too, and he assumes a second superhero identity: Giant-Man. So in case anyone was still not taking him seriously, he’s now got the ability to squash them.
The second Ant-Man is Scott Lang, a single father who works as an electronics expert under Tony Stark. When his daughter gets seriously ill and the only doctor who can save her is kidnapped…Lang has no choice but to steal Pym’s Ant-Man tech and rescue the doctor himself. Pym is so impressed by by Lang’s skills that instead of having him arrested, he allows Lang to continue being Ant-Man.
The third Ant-Man, Eric O’Grady, is known as “The Irredeemable Ant-Man”. He is a low-level S.H.I.E.L.D. employee that steals an Ant-Man suit and proceeds to do nothing with it beside leering on women in the shower and stopping crime in exchange for cash and girls numbers. The Avengers eventually catch on to his act and begrudgingly try to whip him into shape.
From the test footage the suit is very much along the lines of the Eric O’Grady suit but we will most likely get Hank Pym as far as the character…even though O’Grady could possibly be the funnier one here. Apparently the film will be involving Ant-Man’s “echo time locator”. Which sadly is something I don’t actually know much about. While the movie does not have a release date it has been reported to start filming next year.
Check back next for the next ‘An Introduction To Marvel Studios Phase Two’ focusing on The Winter Soldier.
