Ant-Man Gag Reel Part 2

They are all to be found on the 2D disc, which includes two featurettes on the making of the film, a not so amusing gag reel, some very good deleted and extended scenes, as well as my personal favorite, WHIH NewsFront, which fleshes out the Marvel Cinematic Universe beyond the Ant-Man feature length film. In the present day, we meet Scott Lang (Paul Rudd), who is just getting out of prison for robbery and is having a tough time finding a job with his record. CBR News has an exclusive clip from the box set’s bonus footage, centered on the “Ant-Man” post-credits scene. As Lang tries to get his life and family back together, Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) tries to get his company secrets back from his protege Darren Cross (Corey Stoll).

This video’s amusing as usual, but I do wish Honest Trailers hadn’t pulled quite so many punches when it comes to how often the other characters in Ant-Man get sidelined in favor of Scott and Pym’s dad-driven motivations.

In the same interview, Reed said that Hope Van Dyne’s story as The Wasp is just as important as the origin story of Ant-Man.

“As fate would have it, the Russos had directed that scene in a similar fashion to the way Peyton [Reed] had done ‘Ant-Man, ‘” Feige says in the clip. It is based on a story by Edgar Wright (Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, Shaun of the Dead) and Joe Cornish (Attack the Block, The Adventures of Tintin) and was written by Adam McKay (Get Hard, Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues) and Paul Rudd (Role Models). Lang becomes Ant-Man, trained by Pym and armed with a suit that allows him to shrink in size, possess superhuman strength and control an army of ants.

The release of “Ant-Man and The Wasp” is still two years away, but director Peyton Reed recently teased a few plans for the sequel. In the player below, you can check out a behind-the-scenes discussion with both creative talents. Marvel utilizes its character franchises in entertainment, licensing and publishing.
