Director Peyton Reed sounds like a guy deeply involved in the development of ANT-MAN AND THE WASP. Reed spoke to Entertainment Weekly, during the premiere of CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR last night, and gave the following sequel update.
“We’re pretty early on still… We [are] all holed up and we’ve been doing these sessions and structuring the movie. So we’re in the structural phase now, and it’s fun.
"The challenge in Ant-Man and the Wasp is just topping everything that comes before. But that’s a challenge I think with every Marvel movie, with every hero movie. You don’t want the audience to get bored and feel like, oh man, I saw that in the last movie. You always got to give them something different.”
Reed also teased the evolution of actor Evangeline Lilly into becoming the Wasp.
“Evangeline is an amazing actress. The first movie was really about her coming into her own as a hero, even though we didn’t see her suit up yet. So we’re so excited about now being able to show her fully formed and what she is as a superhero. Her power set, how she fights, and what are the injustices that matter to her that she wants to right. That’s part of the really fun thing of the next movie.”
ANT-MAN AND THE WASP releases on July 6, 2018.
