ANT-MAN Set Visit Teases Two Fun Movie Moments


Back in October (2014), a few websites were invited to the Atlanta set of ANT-MAN. While The Daily SuperHero was not invited, the website SlashFilm was one who was. Here are some bullet points from two big scenes that were being filmed.

  • The helicopter battle teased in the trailers, is the start of the third act of the film.
"Walking onto the stage, we immediately see a large blue screen surrounding the cabin of a very, very plush helicopter. This is the helicopter owned by Darren Cross (Corey Stoll), the villain of the film. He’s shooting his gun at something and screams 'Did you think you could stop the future with a heist?' Then a voice yells back at him off camera. It’s Ant-Man, played by Paul Rudd. 'It was never a heist! It was a demolition!' Cross then connects the dots and looks behind him at what we can only imagine is some kind of explosion. 
"Cross is shooting his gun, aiming all over the copter at Ant-Man. The hero is small, jumping around the interior of the helicopter and beating up a bunch of henchmen. Cross’s gunfire kills one of the henchmen, and shoots a hole in the window. The air begins rushing out of the cabin, sucking Ant-Man out with it. To keep from flying away, he quickly switches back to full size and grabs a seatbelt still attached to the interior. Ant-Man pulls his way back in. By the time he’s back inside, Cross is Yellowjacket (above), a full CG costume with four tentacles that looks like Doc Ock meets Ripley’s Powerloader in Aliens. They fight; Yellowjacket can shrink too. The two bang around and end up in a suitcase. The suitcase closes and flies out the window. End of previz. 
"Feige then explains that the scene continues in the briefcase, as it’s falling down to Earth. More on this scene in a bit."

  • Final battle all takes place in a girl's bedroom, presumably Scott Lang's daughter's room.

    "Every Marvel movie is known for its big action packed finale and Ant-Man will be no different. However, instead of destroying another city Feige said this was their most unique one yet because the whole thing takes place in a girl’s bedroom — presumably that of Lang’s daughter. Normal objects inside the room will shrink and be enlarged to crazy effect."



ANT-MAN releases on July 17, 2015.
